Note: I wrote this on Tuesday as a companion piece to Wednesday’s post [Universe]. In real time, I’m starting to get a handle on the monkeys. However, I have no doubt they will start screaming again. Therefore, I’m letting this post stand. After everything that has happened with Rodney, being bucked off Milton first moveContinue reading “So Be It”

Back To Basics
The posting trot is the centerpiece of saddle seat, at least as long as one is three-gaiting. In equitation, you wow the judge at the trot and then try not to lose the class at the canter.

Interlude

It’s amazing what removing a few millimeters of hoof can do for her balance and attitude. As soon as her pedicure was done, sheContinue reading “Interlude”
Cat Wars
Lo, the mighty have fallen. Arthur, King of the Kittens, used to be a bully. He’d grump at all the cats, but the Siamese boys mostly ignored him. Ghost would take it personally. Ghost takes everything personally. So Arthur would go out of his way to beat up on Ghost. Arthur regularly showed up withContinue reading “Cat Wars”
