Calico Girl- Spirit of the Red Rock is the offspring of two horses pulled from the Red Rock herd management area by the BLM in 2004. The Good Springs fire left little for the wild horses to eat. Calico and her mom were adopted when she was three days old; now she's five years old. She was a gift to me. Her former owner called her Spirit, but I think Calico suits her better. Our goal is to be an endurance team. XP Rides here we come.

2 Mile Ride
This is a big day for us. After a 15 minute warm-up, walking and trotting in the arena, Calico and I hit the trails. I rode her almost the entire time for about two miles. Dogs barked, cars passed, rabbits ran out from the brush, but nothing bothered her. We went through the rocky desert lots and on the streets around the neighborhood. She was perfect. It is so exciting to see the progress we've made in a few months. Next step is to add more distance and trotting.
