Riding today, searching for the young woman who went missing while riding her horse on Friday. No luck. 😕 DeeDee Marie, thank you for riding with me.

She was found deceased in the Missouri River this afternoon.

This six year old Marchador gelding is looking for work! Clyde Vista da Serra. He is super nice, willing, and ambitious. Plus, he's pretty! I think he'd be great at Working Equitation, Cowboy Dressage, and he's already well started in Endurance Ride Training!

Clyde Vista da Serra is a six year old, 14.3hh, Marchador gelding who is really coming into his own this year! I like this horse better and better every time I ride him. He's available and will make someone an incredible partner. His work ethic is huge and he pays attention to what you're doing. I think he'd shine in endurance! He is a wonderful trail horse.

Our amazing 2024 ABCCMM Inspection! Thank you to our ABCCMM Technician, Dr. George Vilar! Dyllon Price & Kate Price, you prepared these young horses so well for our event; thank you! Dr. Vilar said they were the best prepared this year of the seven years he's been Inspecting our Marchadors! Thank you, Cathy Pierce & Randy for all the help and support for this Event! Thank you York Community members for attending the Feast! Next year I'll remember to NOT invite a thunderstorm at the same time!! Another Cavalgada Event in the books. Save the date, August 9, 2025, for the next one! ❤️

This is the first time our Cavalgada Event has been delayed by a hurricane. Cathy Pierce and her husband Randy are here from Texas for our Inspection and we're taking advantage of the Inspection delay to ride! Our ABCCMM Technician, Dr. George Vilar, is getting in today, two days late, delayed by Debby! The Feast is still on schedule! Saturday, August 8, 2023. 6:00pm. Bring a dish to pass! We provide the main courses!

Thank you to the management of the Horse Gulch Fire for letting us know there would be a controlled burn of about 20 acres of fuel inside the perimeter of the fire. It's possible that I have a bit of PTSD about this fire...
They have managed it well and communication has been excellent. ❤️

We are hosting a scaled back version of our annual USMMA Cavalgada Event this year. Due to the Horse Gulch Fire many of the trails we use are closed, so our actual Cavalgada Ride will be shortened. However, we are still having our ABCCMM Inspections with Dr. George Vilar August 8 (foals for Provisional) & 9 (Definitive), and our Great Feast August 10 with a Live Band starting at 6:00pm! We'll have a Marchador clinic and educational seminars during the days of our Cavalgada. We have many horses available! I hope to see you for some or all of our event!

We got an email today from the Horse Gulch Fire Incident Commander that they are trying to burn off that area of fuels I have circled in blue. They tried yesterday and, fortunately(?) it was too wet to burn well. They hope to get those fuels removed before things really heat up.
I am impressed with how well they're managing this fire! (YCA, this is Tia.)

We are home. The horses and dogs are home. Maine C***s come home tomorrow. The aquamarine circle is where we live. We are on alert. (YCA, this is Tia. Again. 😀)

Deb Marvin Monroe and I hauled the horses home today and watched, during the last two trips, a very big smoke plume from the Horse Gulch Fire. We were worried that things might not be going so well, but also well into the project of taking the horses home. We're still under an Evacuation Warning, and we are watching.
I was SO RELIEVED when Betsy Brandborg sent the attached post!

So far, so good...

YCA, Tia again. 😊
