Beautiful weekend and no riding
| March 9, 2009 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Yep – that’s right. The weather was perfect and didn’t even see my horses. M* got a new puppy so I went over to his house for the weekend to give him his birthday present (the book – “How to be your dog’s best friend”) and play with the puppy. I also washed my truck […] more

At home the night before the trip. Let me present: Dirty, ungroomed pony. Farley has now been groomed and braided. I always braid the night before I leave. I find that I can never find the time once I am at a ride to braid. Stress relief at home with the cats. Jonah is playing […] more
