I get these emails each day. Reading through the hundreds I got behind on this week I found this one. Might fitting. I can picture Maverick telling me this. 
And I know Rick has said this to me a time or two.
Rick and I are celebrating our 11th anniversery today. And they said it wouldn’t last. 
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. More tomarrow!

Check out the link to the National Rescue Ride Org in the article below. It looks pretty cool. Thing is you need to register by OCT. 1 and must do it online. They will not be taking registration at the rides. (That is interesting, but from a different way for me…) And the best part is there are 7 pages of organizations and rides all over the US. So there should be one near everyone!
As every horse person knows there is not enough money to help every horse. This is an awesome way to ride (or walk) and raise money to help support our rescue organizations in this time of great need. Even if you can’t attend an event, find someone to sponser. Visit a rescue’s website near you and donate online. Every little bit helps a horse that needs the help. And no, I am not a part of any of these rescue organizations. This is just a cause that we at Sierra Ranch belive very strongly about. We have adopted horses. We don’t want to see any horse suffer and know we can’t save them all. It take ALL of the horse people to do that.
Just something intersting I came across while reading email, which I am wwwwaaaayyy behind on again. Have a great Sat. I get to sit here and get caught up with evertything.

LET’S WALK OR RIDE
Blaze’s Tribute Equine Rescue is hosting a Walk/Ride at Lake Carl Blackwell on Sunday, October 19, 2008 with the National Rescue Ride. Flyer is attached. How it works is, you register with NRR at www.NationalRescueRide.org, and pick our organization to ride with. The cost is $20.00 to ride, that money benefits National Rescue Ride, you will receive a T-Shirt and instructions of how to get sponsors. Sponsorship money goes to Blaze’s Equine Rescue. Once you are registered, the rider/walker needs to get Sponsorship money in order to Benefit Blaze’s Tribute Equine Rescue. Remember even $10. Of sponsorship money is more than we had, so every little bit helps. We plan to have merchandise available for sale, a continental breakfast and lunch provided for donations, and for a little fun on the trail, we will have a Poker Run.

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.
- Unknown
Cheating to get ahead might get you the grade or promotion, but in the long run it really sets you back. Intelligence, creativity, hard work, and solid character–the things that propel you forward–are not fostered by taking the easy way out. You don’t earn anything by short-cutting your work. You’re only cutting your potential short. Sure you might feel relieved that a stressful task has passed, but an undeserving sense of relief doesn’t compare to the gratification of knowing that you completed your own work. If something in your life is difficult, meet it head on and earn the satisfaction of earning a job well done–with honesty and integrity.
This is yet another SparkPeople.com Healthy Reflection. Somehow today it seemed rather fitting. There are things going on in my life that make me think of this. There really are no shortcuts.
We are ramping up to a wonderful fall of riding. We hope that you are too. We will be at the Octiva Hooves for a Cure Ride. We hope to see you there! Come help us raise money for breast cancer research!
Our next ride will be the Halloween Ride. I will have to come up with something for Allyson to be this year. Should be an interesting time for all.
Well, I best get back to the job that pays the bills. Hope everyone has a woderful weekend!

1995 CM 3 horse bumper pull trailer for sale. You can see the pictures at the either of the sites above. $5000. $4499. Recuded on Sept. 20, 2008.
The trailer is big enough for three TB’s. The gross weight without horses is 8112 pounds (according to the title). It has on board 12V power. The dressing room is roomy, just not quite big enough for sleeping. Unless you are a kid.
Three kids have slept in it quite comfortably. It has a great tack room in the back that holds three saddles, a blanket bar, hooks for bridles and tack, and even a tack box on the door. It has drop down windows on the heads and bus windows on the butts. Great tires. Nice trailer brakes. The onboard battery has a solar charger.
I have not been able to find a trailer exactly like this on the internet. All the ones I found were stock on the butt side with no tack room in the back. And ones not quite this nice were going for this much. It’s a sturdy trailer with lots of miles left to go.
Call or email Rick (918/688-0665 or
rick@horsematch.net) for more information or to set a time to come look at it.

The future comes one day at a time.
- Dean Acheson
Do your dreams seem far away? Does the distance between you and the finish line deflate your motivation? Often we forget that goals and dreams are not achieved overnight, but rather in a series of small steps. Progress towards your goals should also be counted as victorious! Stop looking at the end result to bring you the greatest joy. Instead, celebrate the ways in which your life is gravitating towards that desired result. Nothing is guaranteed in life, so make the most of each day and persevere. Remember that the small things in life build up to the bigger ones.
This is a SparkPeople.com Healthy Reflection that totally hit home with some things going on in our world recently. I know I haven’t sent something like this in a while, but time has been short. I am just taking time to do this today.
This weekend we will be going to Rick’s family reunion in (of all places) Mobile, AL. Yeah, during hurricane season on the danged beach. Luckily (or not) Ike decided to bypass Mobile so we will be on the road on Thurs. and return home on Sun. I have met his Dad and one brother, so this should be really interesting. Allyson is coming with. Not sure about Aaron. But the older two are busy with their lives.
We are actively working on making the ranch a working ranch. Rick so wants to quit his real job and only work with the horses. We are slowly getting to that point. This weekend I will take the lap top and work on the buisness plan, new Seirra Ranch web site, and the million of other things that I need to do to get this further down the road. Soon, we will need to LLC the operation. Occassionally on here you will see some things that might help with your ranch operations. Let me know what you think of them.
Rick teased me about the life coach post. He of course thinks my horse has lots more to teach me and I need to just spend more time with him. Man, I wished it really worked that way. Third Time is so funny. I have been trying to get him to warm us to us. Now when he sees me coming out to the pasture he comes running to me, since I have been using treats to get him to warm up. LOL! This past weekend he came and sould have put his head in the birdle I had for Maverick if I had just left it there long enough for him to figure it out. I have rode Third Time once. I need to ride him some more, but have this terrible fear of riding in the pasture and feel that since Mav doesn’t give a flying flip if I am scared then it’s better to ride him and get me unscared of the pasture riding. Then I will take on the new challenge of the new horse (Third Time). Oh, what I would give for some dry weather and a nice trail ride.
Well, best get back to work. Got lots to do before I leave. Hope you and yours are well. wishing you all a wonderful weekend!
