| It all started back in 1999. My daughter and I had gone on a trail ride in Hawaii while we were on vacation. My daughter, then 26 years old, decided that she liked horseback riding. I told her that if she wanted to do more, we should take lessons - "horses, after all, are not cars", I cautioned. Additionally, it had been years - more than 30 of 'em - since I had done any serious horseback riding - and I certainly could use a refresher course! That same Christmas, I had a gift certificate to a local schooling barn presented to me for a trial riding lesson. What you will see in the pages following is the result of that wonderful present that my daughter gave me. If it weren't for her wonderful gift - I wouldn't be telling this story! One time back in that arena - and the rest is history! Since then I have owned four horses, leased four more, managed a barn or two - and - well - have essentially become addicted all over again to my childhood passion - horsemanship!! I hope you enjoy browsing thru these pages as much as I have enjoyed putting them together and adding to them as the years have rolled by. If you are wondering where your next horseback riding vacation should take you, I offer you two suggestions: 1000 Acres Ranch in Stony Creek, NY (the Adirondacks); and CJM Ranch here on the island of Kaua'i in Hawaii. Need to take lessons before your equestrian adventures? Consider Little Brook Farm in Carlisle, MA....(the last tab above gives a good pictorial). E komo Mai...... |
