Hello Green to 100 readers! I have moved over to exclusively updating in the Hope Horsemanship blog- but there are still some of you who are either new subscribers, or you’ve not switched over. Khaleesi and I have just returned from the Biltmore Fall 50 mile ride and I shared some take-aways and general notes from it that green readers might particularly appreciate. Below I’ll give a few paragraphs of the post and a link to read the rest if you’d like to catch up on the HH link. From The weight of a thought, September 28, 2023. Last weekend I went solo to the Fall Biltmore ride. I suppose Khal ..read more

This blog post is number 312! I almost titled it that, but for a closing post on an era, a simple number felt hollow. I considered things like “the end” or “well we did it” or  “that’s all folks,” and those seemed too final. “What next” seemed boring. Then I heard the iconic voice in my head of good old Buzz Lightyear and thought, why not? It’s as good an ending as I could imagine since it calls for exploration of the next things “beyond” and that is exactly what I’m looking forward to opening in the next chapters to come. And so To infinity and beyond it is! Not only has this blog green ..read more

We have been working with Stephanie Carter NTP for over a year to get an individual look at their nutritional deficits, heavy metal loads, and ways to support the horses for better health and performance. Supporting Khaleesi on the cellular level has been key for us getting through our first 100 mile event. I had for years been on a forage based diet with supplements for micronutrients and had gone through the forage testing and analysis to help manage my dietary decisions. However when a quite sick horse in the herd needed a deeper look, I decided to do the same with Khaleesi and the small bu ..read more

It’s an exciting time for green to 100 having finally taken on the single day 100 successfully. I hope you enjoyed the write up about the ride in the previous post: Ride Through Fire. I took video throughout the day and edited the clips into a look at the ride from the inside. If you wondered what it was like to do a 24 hour endurance ride in 20 minutes of clips this video is for you! Enjoy riding along with us from the night before in ride camp to post ride all the way to unloading back at home.

The story of the OD 100: June 10,2023. It does seem appropriate that the culmination of the greento100 journey, Jaime and Khaleesi would ride through a fire on the top of the mountain.  Every detail of this ride weekend was expertly orchestrated. I should clarify: not that I expertly orchestrated it- that is way above my skillset. It was orchestrated by the one who can orchestrate temperatures, thunderstorms, and fires. Mentor extraordinaire Lynne Gilbert on our final training ride June 2, 2023 I have to thank my official mentor for most of this journey Lynne Gilbert who along with Kate L ..read more

Yesterday was the prep day for packing up… and the last mountain hike for Khaleesi as we pick up speed toward departing for ride camp tomorrow. This weekend will be our second attempt at the infamous Beast of the East more officially knows as the Old Dominion 100 mile ride. I remember writing a blog post entitled Love Letter to My Crew and kept thinking I should re-read it, in the very least to smirk at my six year ago self and my first 100 mile attempt quite a bit too early for my horse to do in a way I could feel good about. A few things have come to mind as I consider the first attempt and ..read more

I’ve been holding my ride season plans this year with a loose grip.  After wrapping up last season with a good ride though unsuccessful finish at Big South Fork (BSF), it became clear we are very close to a successful single day 100. An experienced veteran of the sport came to chat after BSF and encouraged me that Khaleesi seemed like a solid horse, and was wondering: what was my plan for “getting this done?” I didn’t have a plan at the moment only hours after not getting it done, but I asked her for some thoughts. She highly encouraged me to attempt the Old Dominion (OD) 100 the followi ..read more

May 10, 2023 I had all the good intentions to give a more details write up from the No Frills ride in mid-April after posting the video clips, but ended up finding more contemplation from that ride fitting for the blog I release through the website for the book I published (The Jael Finishing School for Ladies) — relating to life lessons not usually horse related. And so you could peruse that post here if you were interesting in those sorts of musings: https://jaelfinishingschool.wordpress.com/2023/04/18/giants-for-breakfast/ Meanwhile life continues to pick up on all fronts here at this end o ..read more

I definitely learned some things on this ride that I’ll get a better write up on… In the meanwhile enjoy this 10 minute wrap up video and come along for the adventure ..read more
