The Sheep Child

I’m pondering a recent search termI found on my dashboard that someone used to find this blog; “babies made from horses and women” and my first thought was, of course, how miserable do you have to be to even come up with something like that?  It was a “what-the-heck’s-up-with-Imus” kind of moment; one of those [...]

Little Things (and large)

Leah said that Moe has much more spirit and what-not now that he has someone to love him. That would be me!!!! Moe is now taking a joint supplement that’s got yucca and a bunch of other stuff.  I’m hoping it eases his crookedness because he’s kinda mean when it comes to picking out his [...]

Thanks for Spooky Thoughts

Thanks!  I’m taking notes on all of your comments!
I really liked what Denise said about feeling like a victim and waiting for something to happen and the quote about fear being a misuse of the imagination, what Annette said about reading the horse, and Erica on breathing from your center while riding.  I’d like to [...]

More thoughts on spooking

So does anyone else have an issue over spooking horses?  Does it scare the willies out of you?  Have you gotten over it?  How have you gotten over it?  Maybe it’s never bothered you?  How do you feel when your horse moves very quickly and you’re not expecting it? Is it an impediment to your [...]

Spookin’ Moe

When Moe spooks at something, I get over it pretty quickly.  When I rode Gabby or Stalker, another big tall horse at the barn, I couldn’t recover.  The last time I rode Stalker, he stumbled about three times and each time I got more scared until I was in tears by the end of the lesson.  After I [...]

Horsehair Bracelet

I started saving Moe-hair (”mohair”  Ha ha!) from Mopey’s tail for to make a horsehair bracelet.  I think I’m going to go with Twisted Tails for the production because I like the pictures of the delicate bracelets, the price, the instructions on how to get hair and what to do with it, and the responsiveness to [...]

Equine Affaire!

I spent most of the day at the Affaire yesterday, part of it as a volunteer and the rest of it as an attendee.  Two hours of work for the Affaire earned free admission and I must say I earned it.  I was one of the people standing outside handing out the free flyer for two [...]

Kentucky Derby!

During lessons yesterday, Leah mentioned how much she liked to pick a horse and follow it to see how it fared in the races. And I loved the Derby when I was a horse-crazy child because it was a chance to see horses on TV! And this is back in the day when there were four TV [...]

Baby Horsie!

Five, the big beautiful paint, had her baby last Monday night!  Five was one of the three pregnant mares at the barn, so now she’s one of one new mommies! God, baby animals are just so &^%$*#$ cute that I can’t hardly stand it!
 
It’s pretty wonderful.  Dennis went out abut 9 pm to check on [...]
