I have been averaging about 5 miles a day and the dog....7 miles. Great time to get back in the saddle Life is but the memories we've created.....Sully Erna

I believe the paint is 12 and Oakley is 18, where did the time go? Bought the paint at 5 and Oakley at 7 years of age. Realisticly the paint averages 150 miles a year the 18 year old 75 to 100.

Later in the year, when saddle time has been a little more regular, we'll just saddle up and go.

Shipped my horses south too, no ice to break all winter lol. Will go down and get them (250 miles south) next week as I have fence to ride before the cows get here middle of May. Just finished making me a new saddle, Wade Tree, rough out leather, four button seat and old time stirrup leathers. I sent it to Crane,OR with a friend to a branding last weekend. I would have gone to the branding but I am afoot till I get my horses lol. ED
