Milton February 2017
As with Rodney yesterday [Feb 2017], an update on Milton, who is also on the calorie-boosting train. We have been wrestling with thrush all winter.

The channels onContinue reading “Milton February 2017”

New Equipment: Navigator Gloves
Driving Thursday My first experience as a navigator was with Lyricc. We had a blast. Lyricc is fleet-footed and nimble. She scoots. Bliss, on the other hoof, roars. The first time Bliss powered down the long side of the arena, I was suddenly acutely aware that the only thing keeping me inside the cart wasContinue reading “New Equipment: Navigator Gloves”
Alvin Goes To School
Saddle Seat Wednesday Last week, Alvin went to a local elementary school as the living demo for Pioneer Days. He was, naturally, a star. He never swished his tail, nor stamped a hoof, nor did a thousand other normal horse things that would have endangered little toes and fingers.
