If you have deja vu, this originally appeared in my tweet stream from the 2015 Perry show [Show Tweets]
Since the end of 2014, the cover photo on my personal Facebook page has been from the 2014 Perry show [Report].
Photo by Mom
Seemed suitable to update my page with a photo from this year’s show. It got so much Like that I decided it deserved a post. People think it’s a good picture of me.
I think it’s a good picture of Sam & Big.

“Dr. Hooves, also known as Dr. Whooves or Time Turner, is a background male Earth pony with an hourglass cutie mark. The character, unnamed in the show, was given the name “Doctor Whooves” by fans (as a reference to the British sci-fi drama Doctor Who, created by the BBC), which was adopted by the show’s crew,[7] and only later was the character explicitly given the name “Time Turner”.”

Iceland Imports, Guest Flyer
When Linda came back from Iceland [Riding in Reykjavik], she brought me a fistful of glossy flyers replete with beautiful scenery and gallant horses. (Not ponies. Despite their size, Icelandic horses are never ponies). This is the one that caught my eye. What can I say, I am a sucker for discovering a whole category of information whose existence I had not even suspected. Biosecurity. Who knew?
Flyer produced by the Icelandic Food and Veterinary Authority.
“In their native country they have few diseases; and as a result Icelandic law prevents horses from being imported into the country and exported animals are not allowed to return.” Visit Iceland: The Icelandic Horse
Nor can you bring in used riding gear, not even gloves. Riding clothes have to be washed &/or disinfected 5 days prior. (How do they know?) Riding equipment
Fascinating.

Off Topic: The Joy Of Paying Bills
So there I was, standing at the counter of the post office making mouth noises to the clerk. I made disparaging comments about sending out bills. Harmless enough. Everyone hates doing the bills, right?
She pointed out, very kindly, that I was fortunate to have money to send off. Furthermore, I was fortunate to have the things that needed paying for: home, heat, clean water, electricity, and so on.
To this day, I think of her comments every time I pay bills.

Started Instagram as a blog tie-in. Did this instead. A single object each day. Nothing to do with the blog. Occasionally to do with horses.
