AuthorDawn E. Hagen I've been riding for over 40 years and have picked up a few tips and tricks over that time. I’m no pro by any means, but I’ve got all sorts of fun facts and information to share. I've been a barrel racer, a hunter/jumper, a dressage student, a race horse exerciser, a stall cleaner, and (my favorite), a good ole trail rider. I'm now writing content on topics related to trail riding, mileage tracking, riders, program sponsors, and the horses we all love so well. I'm a mother of 3 (now adult) kiddos, and two adorable grandchildren: all of whom I adore. I live with my boyfriend and best friend, Tim, in Las Cruces New Mexico. We have two very spoiled dogs and my Top Trail Horse, the lovely Miss Layla.
