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”

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”
Dreams Be Weird
Work: PM heat, exercise [pl]/EVE groom. Report: extended plank for photo shoot. Stood like a champ. Ramblings: Despite being comfy & safe in bed, I had a rough night. I dreamt that Rodney was boarded at a small barn by himself. He was turned out in a pasture with no fence (our dog got outContinue reading “Dreams Be Weird”
Where To?
Work: PM therapy/EVE rain. Report: Jumps & exercises relocated around the field, per plan. Now I just have to get my a. in g. early enough to fit in two sessions each day. Daylight Saving Time should help. [BTW, DST is run by the DOT, of all people.] Ramblings for the Day: Self-help gurus andContinue reading “Where To?”

To Every Thing There Is A Season
(Ecclesiastes 3:1 KJV) Work: rain. Ramblings: Fallow is fine if one’s harvest season has been busy. When I was in college, I loved to visit my grandmother. I’d lounge about. I’d read books. We’d play cards. I’d forget about papers, finals, the fact that I didn’t have a boyfriend, or whatever was troubling my sophomoricContinue reading “To Every Thing There Is A Season”
Who Stand and Wait
Work: PM heat therapy & back massage/EVE groom. Report: I usually rub his back for a few minutes after each heating session. Today, I got carried away. It’s a nice, nonconfrontational activity with a near-guaranteed positive outcome. Ramblings: Despite my bragging yesterday, in truth I haven’t done much equine volunteering in a while. I usedContinue reading “Who Stand and Wait”
