The weekend was beautiful! Mid-fifties, sunny, the kind of weather that is a gift for this time of year! Saturday was taken up with the usual errands, but I was determined to get “quality horse time” on Sunday. My goal was to ride all four of my adult horses!
We did have a bit of wind [...]

Poor Foxy!
I was working with her this summer and realized she couldn’t turn left very well. I mean, yeah, she could eventually get going in that direction, but her body was stiff and it was difficult. Since she’s willing to do so many other things, I didn’t think she was just refusing for no reason. [...]
No idle time

So much to do and so little daylight!
We have a bunch of nasty sticker plants all around the house. One of our dogs needs to be tied unless we are actually playing with her or walking her. She discovers most of the stickers, at least the ones inside her tie-out area. We also find the [...]

The “Time Change” and those little horse rituals

So this weekend was the time-change. Sunday was beautiful here on the high plains, we probably got almost to 80 degrees with just a light breeze. So why was I out in the pasture working on my water tank? We’ve had one snow storm already, kind of Mother Nature’s warning shot over the bow. It’s [...]
