Reply Hazy. Ask Again Later

Seems I don’t know who I will be riding this weekend: Sam or Willie. At my last lesson, I rode both and the instructor gave me a choice of who to show. I’m torn. Willie is easier for me to get goin’. Although the class is judged on the rider, you always look better onContinue reading “Reply Hazy. Ask Again Later”

In Defense of Frivolity

I’m having trouble getting past the latest ghastly news. It’s hit me square in the what-is-the-world-coming-to. I have no specific reason that this horrible event should resonate worse than any other horrible event. Yet it keeps bouncing around my head making distracting echo-y noises. Every time I try to plot out posts for the nextContinue reading “In Defense of Frivolity”

Professionals on well-trained horses were planning to go bouncing about over piles of logs and have a lovely time. Mind you this was backContinue reading “The Relativistic Nature of Jumps”

On The Other Hoof

As soon as I got done asking for Sam songs, I found out that I may be riding Willie, show name The King’s Will. Given the input “Willie”, iTunes comes back with oodles of Willie Nelson, as one might expect. Also, there are many songs by that title but by artists of whom I haveContinue reading “On The Other Hoof”

Seeking Sam Specific Songs

Thanks to everyone for the psyche song suggestions. Looks like I will be riding Sam, aka Sultan’s Miracle Man, at the next show. Anyone got anything for him? Olivia Newton-John’s song of that name is a bit lyrical for a show tune. Not to mention a mite creepy to be singing to a horse. Really,Continue reading “Seeking Sam Specific Songs”
