Work: day off all around. Every so often, you just have to take a day to get caught up on dishes & laundry.

Barn Dogs
Work: AM heat therapy/EVE brief dust-off during blanket swap. Report: Too cold to stay outside for anything else. I’ve become such a weather weenie, you’d never guess I went to school in New Hampshire. Ramblings: I am a cat person. It is only with great restraint that I do not tip over into Crazy CatContinue reading “Barn Dogs”
The Weather Outside Is Frightful (for us)
Work: short walk, groom. Report: cold & windy. I was for giving the whole thing a miss, discretion being the better part of valor, but Greg insisted on a company walk.

Ramblings for the day: When Rodney is concernedContinue reading “More Equine Tics”

My father was in a skiing accident a few years ago. If it wasn’tContinue reading “And Yet More on Helmets”
Immersed in the Equine Idiom
Work: PM heat therapy. Discussion: Two microwaved heating pads + sheepskin cover + wool blanket + warmish weather = happy horse. I have no idea why he doesn’t melt. Ramblings for the Day: I can’t swim and count at the same time. In order to keep track of my laps for the Polar Challenge thatContinue reading “Immersed in the Equine Idiom”
