I have been keeping up to date on the dog situation between yours and Mikeys blog. I have sent some money to Mikey to help out on the dog food, and/or anywhere else it needs to be put to help out.

I see you are riding barefoot in these photos. I often wondered about it. I am so afraid of getting my feet stuck in the stirrup, and wondered about riding barefoot! I think you would feel where your feet are a lot better, and it would be a lot harder to get your foot stuck in the stirrup too.

Please share with me your thoughts on this...Thanks.

Ruby looks great! You'd never know she was 26. I'm so glad you got her back and got her in shape. Wish I knew of a good home for her... trying to think here... screaming 2 and 5 yr old are not helping..lol

PS, I'd ride barefoot if it wasn't for the dang cactus around here.. I do ride with just my toes most of the time, as I have that phobia of getting hung up.

mrscravitz first thank you SO MUCH for your donation! keeping them fed and catching them is our priority right now but once that is done i do NOT want Mikey stuck with all the vet bills... even with her discount! so any help we can get is much appreciated!

and second, that is my youngest daughter Hilary (18) riding Ruby... i don't think i could handle barefoot! but then i broke a foot a few years ago... and have to be careful or it aches. no more high heels for me...

as far as getting stuck in the stirrups, try using tapaderos! that is the leather cover that goes over the stirrup. my husband put them on my saddle and i have NO WORRIES :) plus they catch the cactus before it gets into my foot ;)
