DoryJM 76 Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 Vicky, "pones" is short for ponies. Lucy rides endurance (distance with horses) and she's doing a 4-day, 200 mile ride in Death Valley between Christmas and New Years. Lucy is also the one that got me started quilting in the first place. She's very talented! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Primitive1 802 Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 Ohhhh, thanks for explaining Dory. I also used to have a horse and this sounds like fun (if I were younger!)! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I also used to have a horse and this sounds like fun (if I were younger!)! You'd be surprised - endurance riding is actually a sport where older people do better. It's about pacing yourself and your horse to the best of your current fitness/abilities. It seems like most people don't have the time to commit to it properly until they retire - *then* they start racking up the miles. (Horse riding is so glamorous, I tell myself, as I look out at the mud-coated, tangled creatures... Today I have to perform miracles on them and turn them into sparkly objects. That and schlep a bunch of 100 lb hay bales around.) Lucy Chaplin Trumbull Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CWBowser 79 Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 I love the quilting you did on the quilt. I give you a lot of credit with an endurance ride. We used laugh about my riding ability. I tried english riding for a while. Because I was so short and had short legs I managed the walk, trot and canter/fall off very well. My legs acted like a clothes pin on a very thick clothesline. Good luck on your ride and keep quilting and sharing with us. Charlotte Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RitaR 647 Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 I think it's a beautiful job on a beautiful quilt, even though you think it has problems. Love the one maroon border with the piano keys of sorts with the little flowers at the quilt side. so pretty. RitaR Quote Link to post Share on other sites
