Molly thoroughbred chestnut mare

(Scroll through earlier posts to see more pictures of her.) These pictures are from the fall of 2010. My neice, Margy, who is just learning to ride started with Molly. We did a lot of longe line exercises, walk-trot exercises, follow the leader exercises, practicing our posting on the right diagonal. When Margy doesn't ride Molly, Mama uses her as a "chair" while she watches the girl's working with the trainer. Mama also rides her to accompany the girls on trail rides. Molly is a nice horse.

Saddle Up for Charity St. Jude Children's cancer research

Jacinta and her mom are hoping to go on the Saddle Up For Saint Jude Charity trail ride to be held on May 15th at Salt Fork State Park near Cambridge Ohio, starting at 9 a.m. The purpose of the ride is to raise money for St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital.  In order for us to go, we need to raise at least $25 each for this charity by May 15th. If you can help us in by donating, either contact me and I will send you an envelope, or else you can use the donation button in this post. 

Even one dollar would be greatly appreciated! If you want to go on the ride yourself, you might be able to rent a horse at Salt Fork, or else bring your own horse if you have one. (Or, maybe you could get the Faith Ranch people to organize a group to go??) Here is a link that you can investigate about renting horses at Salt Fork: http://www.saltforkstateparklodge.com/horseback-riding-1081.html
