Work: AM heat therapy/PM groom, no exercises. Report: During grooming, he objected to being brushed on the head. I overruled his objection. [Option A from Head Games].

Guest Post: Judging a Book by its Cover – Maggie Dana
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”

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.

Ramblings: The American Horse Publications, of which I am an Individual Member, would ask thatContinue reading “Survey Says …”
Here’s Your Ticket, Pack Your Bags
Work: day off. Report: I’m gonna be burning down a house. No worries, the conflagration less lyrical, more legal. The bag in question holds my turnout gear. 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”
