Be Vewy, Vewy Quiet …

… we’re hunting pwogwess. Wodney, er Rodney, may not be a waste of pasture space for the rest of his days? It’s too early to break out the tack, but Hubby may have made progress on Rodney’s back. As one might expect, his back is turning out to be central to his whole way ofContinue reading “Be Vewy, Vewy Quiet …”

Tonight There’s Gonna Be Jailbreak . . .

Monday morning, as I lay half asleep sorting out which day of the week it is, I hear Hubby say, “What the h-ll are you doing out of bed?” By process of elimination, I figure that he is talking to Senior Dog, who usually doesn’t stir without firm motivation.

Tell Me What You Really Think

Space-age sweat scrapers. Dunno how I feel about them. OTOH, I do know how I feel about free text.

When Mathilda has had enough, I toss her two microwave pads & English sheepskin saddlepad on his hindquarters. He canContinue reading “Piling on the Therapy”

A few nights ago, I had a dream about horse shopping. An old riding buddy (LCM for those who knew me back when) and I were just finishing up an incomprehensible dream activity. As she was leaving, I remembered to ask, “Do you know of any horses for sale.” “Yes,” she replied, “I may haveContinue reading “Horse Hunt – Hiatus”

Crosstraining

I aim to swim three days a week as my out-of-saddle exercise [Spring Fitness]. However, a forecast of 71o for this evening is making me reluctant to dip my toes – much less the rest of me – into the outdoor pool. I know it will not be heated sufficiently. Nothing short of the whirlpoolContinue reading “Crosstraining”
