We all know the story, hope flew out of the box last. Usually this is taken as a sign that hope was sent to mitigate the evils of the world. It can also be interpreted that hope is the cruelest gift. Zeus did not wish man, however much he might be tormented by the otherContinue reading “Pandora’s Horse”

Spinning Wheels
Snapshot of the inside of my head: I haven’t organized a saddleseat lesson. I can’t find a horse to go look at, much less buy. I haven’t followed through on my mysterious initiative with Rodney. (We won’t even discuss my writing career, exercise plan, housekeeping regimen, or so on.) I am a horrible person. IContinue reading “Spinning Wheels”

New Englanders are know for being thrifty. Part of this is practical. If you live in a cold place where the roads get salted, whyContinue reading “Cultural Commentary”
Horse Hunt Progress Report #1
I have contact two individuals and one trainer for more details & videos. Not holding out huge hopes for the individual horses. One has a Cadillac description and a junk-yard price. Either the horse’s attributes are generously interpreted or it’s the steal of the century. The other sounds nice enough but is a breed I’mContinue reading “Horse Hunt Progress Report #1”
