nice view behind them! It's hard to beat the beautiful Central Oregon scenery as a backdrop to a perfect ride.
Mia and Sarah - what a great pair!

This was Mia's first Endurance ride environment ever, as well as her first big group camp-out experience ever, and she did so well! While she only did the 10-mile "fun ride" to start with, be on the lookout for her at future LD rides in 2012.
This picture was taken when I was visiting La Cabelleriza Paso Finos in Weirsdale, FL. I flew down there with family friend (a Paso Fino breeder for 20+ yrs) to see her in person. As I was taking these pictures, I couldn't imagine her going home with anyone else! To this day, she has a "can do" personality paired with a willingness to please. Combine that with her lovely gait and you have one little dynamo!
