Winter logistics just got a whole lot easier. A few days after Mathilda opted out of winter wear [Windbreak], we took Rodney out of the wardrobe rotation as well. Long story short, the poor horse was getting zapped by his blanket. In previous winters, we’d had problems with static electricity while grooming [Safety]. As bestContinue reading “ZAP!”

Windbreak
Mathilda has worn her last blanket. Before I tell the story, let me assure you that she is fine. The rest of us are a little jumpy, but she is fine. When Chief Minion went to the barn for morning chores, he found her lying on her side unable to stand. Since her accident, weContinue reading “Windbreak”

Gearing Up For the Dark Days
Cold. Unseasonably cold. This is the upside to having pasture ornaments. Go to barn. Pat noses. Tell ’em you will see ’em tomorrow. Or when it thaws. Retreat to house. No competition plans to be delayed. I know, I know, it’s colder where you are. It’s all in what one is used to. Where IContinue reading “Gearing Up For the Dark Days”
RallyWe

I’m not above that, I’m just not doing it now. AFAICT, most of RallyMe is winter sports, so my choice is not hard to determine,Continue reading “RallyWe”
