Well, I was able place a few obstacles to begin my extreme ride. As you might guess my horse did very well. I started with tires and logs. They are placed  at random distances apart, next will be the bridge. I figure to use two 4x4s about 8ft long. I will nail 2x8s cross ways to similate a bridge. I think I will stand my hay feeder on end and see about going thru that. I'll let you know how it goes.

I heard on the news today that the Lippizan Stallions are coming to Eau Claire on the 13th of September. I might see if I can get tickets. I have seen them in the past but I think that they put on a pretty nice show, worth seeing again.

We are enjoying the cooler weather, but boy are the flies bitting,not the horse flies, but the regular house fly. We put out the fly predator and that seems to help. Maybe we need to increase the numbers??!!

Look for me on the trails and hope to see everyone out there this fall  MIKE
