I'm a horse-crazy midlife adult

Since learning to pack in 2010, I've ridden over 4,000 km through western Canada's wilderness. 

Check out these trips for inspiration: nine in 2010 - 2012, six in 2013 - 2015, seven in 2016 - 2017, and more to come. 

I've been horse-addicted most of my life, catching the bug at 9 and getting paid to ride by 12. I've been fortunate to:
​
+    achieve Canadian Pony Club ‘A’ level
+    fox-hunt, three-day event and ride point-to-point horses in England
+    condition polo ponies
+    wrangle at one of western Canada's premier hunting outfitters
+    start and gallop thoroughbreds
+    groom for a member of the Canadian 3-Day Eventing Team at the first World Equestrian Games
+    compete at intermediate level Three-Day Events (aka CCI** Horse Trials), including a Pan-American Games qualifier and the North American Young Riders Championships
+    try fun horse sports like cattle sorting, mounted archery and ski-jouring.


Since 1999, I've been buying, training and selling diamonds-in-the-rough.

Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. Muriel Strode
