My computer died...

so I haven't been able to post much.  :(

However, I have to share my excitement.  Cooler weather is almost here and that can only mean one thing -  CAMPING SEASON!!!  FINALLY!  I miss hanging out with my buddies, sitting around a fire, and letting loose.

We've still been riding, but it's with various groups. Here's a few pics from September and October.

Boys Ranch 2012 - I was extremely proud of Ranger for being so well behaved.  He's going to be great on the cracker trail this year. 
Boys Ranch 2012 - Cory was one of three kids wearing helmets.  It just seems normal to her.
Boys Ranch 2012 - This is a huge accomplishment for Cory.  Rocky is not into obstacles at all.  He thinks they are stupid.  However, she persisted, and he finally did everything she asked.

20th Annual Miracle Trail Ride




Dear Friends,

On Saturday, October 13, 2012, I will be participating in the 20th Annual Miracle Trail Ride event. It is a marathon fund raiser on horseback where participants are asked to collect pledges in advance for each mile of the ride they will complete. In its 20 year history, Miracle Trail Ride has raised more than $396,367.26 for the kids!

Net proceeds from the 20th Annual Miracle Trail Ride will benefit Greater Orlando Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, an organization dedicated to supporting improved health care for young children. More than 350,000 children come to these two hospitals each year for treatment, including children with cancer, AIDS, and birth defects...organ transplant patients and accident victims...and children living with chronic illnesses such as diabetes, cystic fibrosis, kidney disease and heart disease. Arnold Palmer Medical Center and Shands Hospital for Children at the University of Florida are the participating Children's Miracle Network Hospitals in Central Florida.

Join me in making a difference in the lives of patients treated at Arnold Palmer Medical Center and Shands Hospital for Children at UF!

My personal fundraising goal is $250. All donations are tax deductible. Please consider supporting me in this worthy cause by visiting my personal donation page at:
