It struck hit me yesterday. I walk with my head down a lot. Like, almost all the time. As a kid and now as an adult. I guess it really bugged folks when I was little, people would tell me “Don’t be so sad, look up!” Shoot, I wasn’t looking down because I was sad, [...]

I have just passed the half-way mark in a school course series. Everyone in the school must take this 12 week series in order to graduate. There are about 100 pages of reading each week, then we need to write an 800 word essay and make remarks on two of our classmates’ essays. It could [...]
Visiting Fireman

Well, no, she isn’t really a fireman, I’m not sure where that phrase came from. My friend Sue took a nearly 2 week trip to visit a new baby in the family, and dropped her horse Ruby off with our trainer. That worked out great – but when she left the pasture was pretty bare, [...]
Quick reprise of the April trip

Gee, I never got back to describing my trip!
I had a great time, the clinic was wonderful and I learned a lot. Some of the things I had to re-learn – Mark Rashid told us and showed us about things I had learned from Ann McKay, but I’d forgotten, or had let someone else show [...]
Gone Visitin’ I

I’ve been out for a week – Linda from one of my “horsey bulletin boards” (HBB) invited me to come visit her and attend a Mark Rashid clinic. So last Wednesday – my birthday! – I drove 4 hours to the Denver Airport, flew to Salt Lake City, hung out til my next plane arrived [...]
Signs of Spring
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged diet, Foxy, horse on February 2, 2009 | 1 Comment »
At least one of the horses is starting to shed and some of the others have dead hair standing up – as if they know it’s still winter, maybe they shouldn’t be rash!
I saw ducks flying north!
The iris are sending up experimental shoots.
I saw a circle of robins in the back pasture, scratching and looking [...]
It must be a conspiracy!

In my last entry, I was practically swooning after discovering how calm, obedient and relaxed LB traveled under saddle. I was really looking forward to riding this weekend… the weather report was for warm temps (in the 50’s and 60’s) and with the Martin Luther King holiday, I have 3 whole days off!
Alas, it was [...]
Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! As you can see, I have a new header image, a sunset photo of some of the horses by the water tank. Our friend Bill Coe and his wife came for dinner one evening in Novemeber and he spotted the opportunity for a great photo!
I want to get more riding done this [...]
A visit to the horsey dentist

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. [...]
A little excitement

We leased our property for oil exploration a year or so ago. Then a couple of months ago, the lead team for the explorers came through and we/they signed an agreement to have the survey team come out.
There are several properties in the area in the program, and we’ve seen the survey team out and [...]
