Friday, September 1, 2017 I haven't written recently not because my mind is blank or because I haven't been active with my horses. I just don't know what exactly to say. So in discussion with the 4am voices in my head that often turn into a blog post all I could think was I mightContinue reading “What can I say?”

Hoof school
Saturday, August 19, 2017 Last Blog was the cliffhanger that I'd be taking a day-long workshop on hooves in order to better educate myself. Ok cliffhanger is a little over dramatized 🙂 For any new readers jumping in here I'll do a hoof synopsis: my weak link at the moment is Khaleesi's feet. They've alwaysContinue reading “Hoof school”
Physical.
Wednesday, August 16, 2017 Mental building is important but to get to 100 so is physical building… which includes hoof care, nutrition and riding. My miles have been unimpressive this summer. Most weeks I've gotten in a 12-15 mi ride and true, any ride around here isn't a walk in the park, but I amContinue reading “Physical.”
The land of unicorns
Tuesday, July 4, 2017 I’m just back from Scotland which I learned adopted the unicorn as its national animal in the 1300s. Apparently much of the Western world believed them to be real until ‘disproven’ in the 1800s. (We all laugh at this now but we are more civilized and modern than that… of courseContinue reading “The land of unicorns”
Gifts [edited]
Monday, June 12, 2017 One thing I love is finding ways everything is a gift- even the things you didn’t think you wanted. If you change perspective and turn them around enough you can see the beauty- but sometimes it takes a little squinting through tears! I am back from the OD safely and haveContinue reading “Gifts [edited]”
Refined through the fire.Â
April 26, 2017 Where to begin? There’s been a lag in my blogging because I’ve been too busy doing to catch up with writing. Let me try to sum it up. Since my last blog post: my mother came to visit. We hosted a two-day private horsemanship type clinic together with friends (horsemanship seems theContinue reading “Refined through the fire. “
The road to BlackwaterÂ
Friday, March 3, 2017 All systems are go so we plan to hit the road in the morning. My farrier came Wednesday to put the shoe back on- turns out his schedule changed and he showed up while I was at work instead of later in the evening as we’d planned. This always makes meContinue reading “The road to Blackwater “
Getting there part 2
Later on Thursday, February 23, 2017 We loaded up at 7:30am and headed down the mountain to the vet. Khaleesi was already improved from 3-legged lame the previous day but she was still noticeably off. My farrier said he was sorry he couldn’t meet us at the vet and I assured him we’d stay inContinue reading “Getting there part 2”
Just getting there
Thursday, February 23, 2017 Cue the suspense music… After the wonderful glowing report that we were all back on track and looking forward to a fabulous season (barring any unforeseen circumstances) the unforeseen circumstances have come early! Khaleesi is lame. Bad lame. Like hoping it’s an abscess lame. It does look like it’s in theContinue reading “Just getting there”
