Buck Meadows CANCELLED
| November 4, 2009 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Yep – no fifty miler for me this weekend. No renegade trial before Desert Gold at Thanksgiving. So here are my options: 1. Try to do the Oroville LOVE ride which is also Saturday. Con: 2.5 hours away. It’s suppose to rain the day before and the day of the ride. I am gone all […] more
Revelation 7
| November 3, 2009 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
7. Let’s see if I can put this into words. I’m having a hard time describing what I mean. When I’m bitterly dissapointed in endurance, or feel like I “failed” a ride – it’s usually because my horse has ended up injuired. In dressage I can be dissapointed without the horse being injured. It’s really […] more
Oh!
| November 3, 2009 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Oh! is such a wonderful word (at least according to my trainer). According to her, this is the appropriate response when told something by any show official. “Oh!” It’s not a lie, it’s not an admission of guilt, it’s simply an expression that allows the show official to view you as a ditz, but as […] more

It’s hard for me to believe, but ~9 months after I started to blog (1/30/09), I am now posting my 200th post. I thought I would have run out of things to say by now. I blog because I need to improve my narrative writing. At least that is the reason I obstinately give when […] more
Diamond Bar Schooling Show

There are two directions I could go with this post. I could either be little miss sunshine and pretend that everything is absolutely hunky dorey and I’m glad for the learning experience yada yada yada….or I could be a snively, whining brat. I’ll try to strike a balance between the two. 🙂 Edited to say: […] more
Lost Boot #1
| November 1, 2009 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
****Some of the posts you will read in the next couple of days were composed during the picture challenge, so I’ve waited to post them. Please enjoy! I’ll try to do a post like this anytime I have a boot failure. Last Saturday (10/24/09) I took Farley to Del Valle and did a 22 mile ride. For […] more
