Back in the Barn

Hi Everyone:

Well we're back from our Northern California investigation of horsecamps. Got all the horses settled back in the barn and now it's time to unload all the pictures into computer. I'd much rather spend time with the horses -- even mucking out stalls!! -- than trying to figure out how to do it and work with computers. I'm NOT a computer person.

Went into California's furtherest most horsecamp -- above Eureka off 101. It's the last horsecamp on the Coast in Northern California. It could be the last horsecamp in California before hitting Oregon border but have to check map first to make sure of that statement. There's a couple pretty far north above Susanville and Yreka. Anyway, information on it and all the other horsecamps we found will be in "Northern California Trails & Horsecamps" which we hope to have printed by first of year. Still trying to decide how to bind it. Any ideas? Want it 'user friendly'. Not just a book that sits on a tack room shelf.

Firming schedule for 2008 "Horsecamping" clinics. Will be at Equine Experience in April down at Paso Robles.

Then up to HorsExpo in June. This will be our 10th year as a vendor and clinician at HorsExpo. Miki Cohen has accomplished a world class HorsExpo and this year she'll top last year's event. I just know it!!

We'll I've got to figure out how to take the 'chip' out of digital camera and then find the slot to put it in on computer to download last batch of pictures. With any luck, I should have it done by sunset.

With winter rain, snow or sleet just around the barn corner, now is a good time to think about your winter blankets. And uses. Stitch any small tears and rips so they don't become major repair jobs. Check buckles to make sure they still work and are easy to open and close.

Welcome to our campfire!!

Welcome to Two Horse Enterprises' blog. For those new to our site, Two Horse is dedicated to trail riding and horsecamping. Our blog is intended to help answer trail horse, trail riding, camping and other down the trail around the campfire questions. So if you have a question -- or comment -- e-mail horsecamping@comcast.net. We'll post your question and provide an answer. If we can't find an answer we'll ask for help from our readers and other horseowners. We're not experts but we do want to help with your trail riding and horsecamping adventures!

Currently, we're up in Northern California checking out trail heads and trails for a new book we plan to put out the first of 2008. There's books for horse trails and camps in Southern California but nothing for Northern California -- we hope to help correct that by printing one and it will be offered on Two Horse Enterprises website (and in our catalog).

So make sure that saddle blanket is square on your horse's back and ride on down that trail. We need to keep horsemen ON trails and IN camps if we plan to keep trails OPEN for our use!!
