Hey Rhonda, you can also post your Tucker saddle on the TTR classifieds. There are other saddles for sale there too, they are in the "PRODUCTS" category. I might also be interested in your saddle for my wife; what is the size, style and color?

What awesome horsemanship. I tried to look her up on the site but it doesn't look like she is registered. What type of training does she do? How long has she had her horse?

Tell us something about you, anything.
This website has been a goal of mine for a long time...my hope is that it brings horse lovers together and encourages people to ride in groups so they stay safer and more active. If that happens, this website will be worth all of the work that goes into maintaining it.

My family has lots of interests that include wine, horses, longhorn cattle, and just about all other animals too. Although we love the animals, our greatest passion, admittedly, is health care. For me it has been a life long passion.

We've lived in many places but since we've been married we've lived in Tennessee the longest. We love life in Tennessee!!

Cheers and happy trails!

Hi Mike!

There was a park there, with mountains and lots of trails. It was in Skyline Wilderness Park, great trails!

Hey Mike, I'm a little slow in writiing but wanted to tell you it was good to meet you down at McNatt's. Maybe we'll cross paths again on the trail somewhere. Hopefully meet some more of the good people on here too.

Hi Mike just wanted to let you know we have 20 riders signed up and if the weather stays nice I might be able to call and come see you soon. I have been laying trail on the only 2 good days we had so far, thank God for horse friends or I could never get it all done.
You had offered to put our flyer up a week or so ahead of the ride that sounds wonderful.
Thanks,
Jill

Thanks, Mike! I didn't know this site existed until some friends I was riding with Sunday told me about it..If I'd known, I'd joined sooner!

Thank you Mike. I have had a ball with TTR and hearing from like minded people. My neices love to come and visit, they live in the city and have no animals, so our place is like the zoo to them....LOL... (goats, chickens, horses, dogs and cats..). My new pictures are from today, I could not resist all the snow and of course taking more photos.

Thanks for the welcome Mike. We have a lot of fun ridding, meeting new people, and especially all the beautiful country we get to see. Maybe we will see each other this year on the trail...

Thank you Mike for the "head's up" on Tonka! Sounds like a good one. Only problem he is 4hrs away! I'll keep checking ads.

Wonderful news and believe me if Bobby thinks you're a horseman that is good enough for me, besides I see those great trail pics of yours.
www.ACTHA.us site will show you obstacles being judged and how they are scored this is a very casual event for all riders. Just everyday Trail obstacles, pull a short log, sidepass on tree trunk etc.
We would love for you to have a display table and the 2 day riders will enjoy the tasting and we know "you brought those ordered cases of wine and are just delivering them to the event" not selling them there as I remember it.
Thank you for saying yes to judging,
Jill

Mike would you consider being a judge for this event? I am trying to arrange a time for Lynda and I to drive up to see your farm and show us your beautiful horses. Would like the weather to be above 20 though. Since this is a new event for Erlyn Acres we hope to have at least 25 riders. If so I can reimburse you your gas money. But lunch is all I can offer you for your time and driving down right now. I was hoping to set some of your wine out for people to purchase also.
Thanks for your consideration,
Jill
