Work: day off Back in January, Blithe Traveler was kind enough to review Maggie Dana’s first book, Keeping Secrets. Since then, I have discovered it is even more fun to give the authors room to comment on their own books and the process of writing. Without further ado, welcome Maggie: It’s really all about shoesContinue reading “Guest Post: Judging a Book by its Cover – Maggie Dana”

Say Aaaah!
Work: PM1 heat therapy/PM2 groom, short walk. Report: No amount of DST helps if I can’t lever my butt out of bed until brunch. Ramblings: I have magic counting hands. Rodney’s gastric medication requires 14 pills per dose – there’s a lot of horse to dose. I’m amazed how often my randomly poured handful isContinue reading “Say Aaaah!”
Point of 100 Meetings
Work: AM rain/PM heat therapy. Report: Instead of putting both heating pads on his back near the scar tissue, I put the second over his Bai Hui point. He got all soft-eyed, droopy-lipped, and sleepy.

Survey Says …
Work: AM heat therapy/PM groom & exercises: crossrails, plank, weave cones, reverse poles, & log. Report: Lowkey runthrough of all exercises to reintroduce the idea of double sessions.

Ramblings: The American Horse Publications, of which I am an Individual Member, would ask thatContinue reading “Survey Says …”

Cute horse and fire anecdote: We were on a brushfire, which is a small, tame, domestic version of a woodland fire. Usually someone is burning trash and “leftContinue reading “Here’s Your Ticket, Pack Your Bags”
Numbers Game
Work: PM therapy/EVE grooming scheduled, even likely. Report: The day to dive into our new schooling program was not today. Spring advances and retreats. As do I. Ramblings: The delayed appearance of February’s end of the month ponderings on blogging. In order to keep up with a daily blog, I need to follow the inspirationContinue reading “Numbers Game”
Where To?
Work: PM therapy/EVE rain. Report: Jumps & exercises relocated around the field, per plan. Now I just have to get my a. in g. early enough to fit in two sessions each day. Daylight Saving Time should help. [BTW, DST is run by the DOT, of all people.] Ramblings for the Day: Self-help gurus andContinue reading “Where To?”
