Milton’s Moods
Some horses are born grumpy. Cases in point, Previous Horse [In Defense of Caesar] and Karen Briggs’ horse Toddy, “Who was an obstreperous bastard and my horse of a lifetime.” [Writing From the Right Side of the Stall: No Witnesses].

Shopping Bonanza
My local Tractor Supply was out of Milton feed, necessitating a drive across town. On the upside, the new store had massive Breyer sale. Small in number, but large in discount.

There is a small hill involved. Otherwise, the loop is short and never out of sight of the barn. It is a ridiculously easy exercise.Continue reading “Rodney’s Progress”
Pick Your Crazy
Do you want a little bit of crazy all of the time, or the occasional superabundance? Lesson this week. Still watching Louisville videos on demand. I am fascinated by the ribbon ceremonies. Granted I’ve always been a sucker for a victory gallop/pass. I am also intrigued by the behavior of the horses. In 1989, IContinue reading “Pick Your Crazy”
