Morgans Fitzer and Reba driving

Here are Dolores and Lauraine driving their wonderful Morgans. Chuck rides along with Dolores and seems to enjoy it. I trained both of these horses to ride, and my dad, Wes Licht, trained Fitzer to drive. Lauraine has been training Reba to drive, and I’ve been helping out here and there with lessons.

Reba is Lauraine’s chestnut ...

The View from Don


Here are some video snippets of yesterday’s trail ride with Don the Andalusian. I’m riding one handed as I film these, and they are “uncut”, simply because I don’t know how to edit them. Please forgive me for the occasional repetition.

You can hear Don’s fabulous walking stride. He was relaxed and steady for most of our ride, and brave in the “scary” ...

Colleen’s Birthday party on the Solstice

Here Melissa (Ignite Your Voice) and I are dancing to the wonderful drumming and singing at Colleen’s party. It was a beautiful gathering, and at the end the mosquitoes came on full force. My “Safe for Human Use” natural bug and mosquito repellent (for horses) proved completely ineffective, so we headed for the Union Terrace later that night.

Whoo Ha… I went to a great show the other night!

TCLB

Thanks to good friends, I recently found out about this talented band and wanted to let y’all know about them. Original songs, and if you’ve never seen a violinist plug it in and use the “wah-wah” pedal…. it’s amazing.

Riding Diesel


Okay, if you haven’t had a good laugh yet today, watch these videos. Diesel does a pretty good job, and after seeing these videos, I can see why he complains. I look ENORMOUS on him! I’m a light 5’8″, honestly. It’s so funny with the helmet, boots, gloves, and this professional trainer, towering over this cute little mule, in a western ...

Diesel and Rowdy hanging out


Diesel has made lots of progress since he arrived. He drives outside nicely and he has been riding walk, trot, and canter indoors. He prefers driving to riding, but he is a good sport under saddle anyways.
I’ve got to get some footage of us riding, because we are quite a sight!

Diesel will go home early ...
