Mel showed up to GRSC last night with her Mom and Sherry. Mel got to visit with lots of her horsey friends who were very happy to see her and how well she is doing. Mel’s horse, Tina ran with Mel’s Mom in the Senior Division and with me in the Open. After taking hiatus from riding for the past 2.5 years and only riding Tina once a few days before the first GRSC show, my legs were in no mood to deal with that powerhouse mare.She’s fast and super fun to ride but she is all business and wants you to let her go. Next week maybe I’ll be able to hang on and look less like a monkey strapped to a rocket.

Mel has only about $1,000 more to raise for her therapy saddle. If you would like to contribute to help get Mel back in the saddle, please click our Chipin widget.
