Jump Crew

Well, this has been a happy little corner of the universe lately. I’ll aim for more cheerful today. After lunging, Hubby jumps Rodney over a few cavaletti, partly for training but mostly because it’s fun to watch him jump. Although I haven’t done courses, Rodney seems about average in knowing that the jumps have beenContinue reading “Jump Crew”

The Rest of the Story

Whoa There Cowboy

I was having a seriously bad day on the cross-country phase of a Horse Trials [Reverse].

I was determined that we were gettingContinue reading “Whoa There Cowboy”

Reverse Epiphany

An epiphany is a moment of cosmic harmony. The sudden realization that you are at one with the universe. A reverse epiphany is when you finally admit that the elephant is not only in the room but that tapping sound is the trunk whacking you repeatedly and vigorously. It is the death of denial. IContinue reading “Reverse Epiphany”
