We finally replaced our microwave, so I can start heating the horses again. Milton approves. Milton is good for 20-30 minutes. Then he’s done. He’ll stretch, pick his head up, and look about. He’s still happy but he loses the out-to-lunch look. Rodney continues to be part lizard [Piling on the Therapy]. He stands inContinue reading “Melting Milton”

Daily Routine – Morning
What’s it like having horses at home? Carrot Check First thing, Greg goes up to the barn to feed carrots. He will do this even if he is leaving at dark-stupid hundred.

The ground tie is still a work in progress [Milton 2.0]. He doesn’t leave, but heContinue reading “Milton’s Progress, April 2016”
Rodney’s Progress, April 2016
Grooming 🙂 😦 Ground ties. Stands like a rock. Shifts weight to put down the hind foot when I work on that side. Rodney is so good about grooming that I get surprised – and yes, frustrated – when he suddenly flings his head up in the air. He remains intermittently head-shy about brushes nearContinue reading “Rodney’s Progress, April 2016”
