Kathleen's Wild Ride on Facebook

Just learned of a brave lady who decided to follow a lifelong dream and ride from the west coast of the U.S. to the east coast. WOW sounds like such a great adventure.
A broken shoe hasn't slowed her down too much, hopfully there will never be any "occasions" that would be of a serious nature.
I hope the hospitality of folks across the country comes out. I think we horse folk are pretty good at sheltering our neighbors who are just passing through. Lets keep Kathleen and her horses, and dog Solo in our thoughts and prayers and when they get near our neck of the woods, give them a place to stay to rest for a day or two.

GOOD LUCK Kathleen and have fun on your Great Adventure.

Hurricanes and Wildfires

Its now hurricane and wildfire season. An item some folks do keep in their tack cupboard is a can of florescent paint. In the event of a hurricane or wildfire your going to use it to spray paint your CELL PHONE number on the side of your horse, this will make it easier for rescue personel to contact you if your horse is found. Leave a breakaway halter on your horse also (if you wish) with a pet tag on it with your name and cell phone number engraved on it. (Might want to spary you number on too in case your horse breaks the halter)

We always hate to think these events will happen to us, but being prepared for them is always a wise move.

Happy Trails Everyone

The Thrifty Eqestrain now has a blog spot. I'll be posting economical, time saving and green solutions for use with your horse and in and around the barn or trailer. Whether you trail ride, show horses, gymkhana, etc there will be something on here that you can use. My eventual goal is to write a book and produce a 1/2 hour tv show.

Please feel free to leave replys and everyone would love to read any hints or tips you might have also. I will be providing a link to my facebook group page in the near future that has much more info on it.

More to come keep checking back often.
Happy Trails everyone and hug your horse.
