Update February 4, 2013: Winner declared. Rodney is looking for his new show name. I am terrible at names. Our 16 (?) year-old, roadside-adopted black Lab still goes by the name of Puppy, among other things. As a writer, the mot juste is of utmost importance to me. The responsibility of selected the perfect, appropriate,Continue reading “Help Me Name My Horse, Prize Offered”

They Said It Couldn’t Be Done
Work: day off Ramblings for the Day: Technically it hasn’t been. This is a shot from early days. I found it while trolling for last Friday’s foto. We will hold this as an omen for the future and not examine too closely the date stamp on the JPG.
Another Day, Another Set of Poles
Work: reverse poles, hither & yon, as Saturday. Report: workmanlike & unexciting, which is the point. Although I was tempted to go for the third & farthest set of poles, I am learning from past mistakes [Doom, Nevermind]. The plan is to solidify what works before moving on [Boredom]. Ramblings for the Day: I’m notContinue reading “Another Day, Another Set of Poles”
Retail Therapy
Work: PM1 groom & walk, 3 short loops with off-side leading for variety & the dog for distraction/PM2 groom.

The dog’s temporary barn reinstatement is herebyContinue reading “Retail Therapy”

Even though we are making progress this spring, it is so far from what I had hoped to be doing that progressContinue reading “Somewhat Happy Kid With a Kinda Happy Pony”
Going To The Dogs
Work: PM1 grooming, exercise [reverse poles – hither & yon]/PM2 grooming. Report: one set of poles near the barn, another set in the middle of the field. The only variable was the distance from the barn. It was subtle but I think he walked more confidently the second time we headed out. Ramblings for theContinue reading “Going To The Dogs”
Foto Friday: April Showers
Work: ? Plans big. Motivation low. Day not over. Ramblings: One from the archives during a trip to Saratoga in 2008. Bloggers are ever on the alert for what The Flirty Blog calls “bloggable moments”. Having generated trunkloads of text over the years, I adapted quickly to twisting bits of my life into posts [FirstContinue reading “Foto Friday: April Showers”
