The group lesson on Wednesday was rather small, with just Tina, Maggie and myself. Tina rode Lily, Maggie rode a rather feisty Gio, and I rode Sammy. I admit that I wasn't especially thrilled to be back on him again after last week's less than successful lesson. It has been unseasonably hot, and last night […]
Sunday, I headed over to the barn after a restful night. Working on only a few hours sleep, I was rather happy to hear I would be jogging Blondie instead of riding her. It takes a lot less effort to drive than to ride. D warmed her up, and then I hopped in the jog […]
Friday, of course, dawned damp and chilly, a drastic contrast to earlier in the week. With the long weekend looming, the weather forecast is decidedly not favorable. Once I arrived at the barn, though, the sun came out and it felt like spring again. Lovely! Zeb was the lesson horse on Friday, and Tina and […]
I am a sleepy dog! Well, we kicked off the holiday weekend in dramatic fashion, which seems to be becoming a habit around here. After a lovely day of running around town, stocking up on flashlights and water softener salt, we had a very tasty lunch at Steve and Rocky's. Then I met Jen and […]
I rode Sammy for last night's lesson. It was lovely night for riding. With a high of 86, there was no nasty humidity to suck the life out of you once you stepped outside. With my low tolerance for cold temperatures, it was just about as close to a perfect night as they come. Laurie […]
Monday night I had a line lesson with Doc. Laurie brought some toys out to the round pen, and had an extremely evil grin on her face. While I wondered what the hand weights were for, I think I knew what I would be doing with the playdoh and the ball. The reins were tied and […]
I uploaded some pictures from the horse show. Please click here to check them out.
It was a b!tch getting up this morning! I didn't get much sleep, and I had to be back at the barn by 7:45. Laurie and I were going in the second class, and the show started at 8:30. Laurie and Audie have been commuting, and they arrived a little after 8 - just in […]
See ya later, suckers! Me and Blondie going for a spin Saturday was a no stress day at the horse show. I didn't have any classes, so I was able to sleep in a little, and I even stopped at Bob Evans for breakfast. Not as good as the Waffle House, but much better than […]
*Please ignore the typos - this post hasn't been edited - help me out and email them to me :)*** After a meal at the Owosso Taco House, an incredibly dumpy looking little hole in the wall with surprisingly tasty fare, I headed back to the hotel for a much needed nap. By this time, […]
