Minx’s anniversary is tomorrow….

….and I’m trying to decide a suitable way of paying my respects. Options: A: Sob at inoppertune times so that everyone around you views you as a maniac until you make up some suitable excuse (my contacts…..cutting onions…..) B: Light a candle and read Walter Farley’s “The Black Stallion’s Filly” (for whom she was named)…..and […] more

Yep, a little perspective never hurt. In the realm of things (still assuming this is hocks. Won’t it be “funny” if after all these posts about hocks, it ends up being something else? Like, *shudder* stifle problems? Bad Melinda! think positive!) this is fairly minor. Two weeks after I purchased Farley, she bowed her tendon […] more
Friday’s OCD post
| April 2, 2010 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Less OCD, more contemplative. I promise I’m really glad I have a couple of days to think this over. Yes, I wish I knew RIGHT now what’s wrong, but at least it’s giving me time to think and decide and evaluate the “why” behind my decision. First an update on Farley. Yesterday she […] more

In an effort to NOT continue posting a gazillion OCD posts today, I thought I would share my favorite recipie for “OCD times” (such as this).

Part 3 of Melinda OCDing
| April 1, 2010 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
I SWEAR this is my last word on this subject (today). Just did a quick search of the ridecamp archives and I’m alternating between panic and hope and have settled on “neutral” (assuming the issue is hocks…). First of all, it looks like a LOT of horses (arabs doing endurance) are being diagnosised with […] more
The small things part 2
| April 1, 2010 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Totally OCDing about this. Starting thinking about something else – this horse has ALWAYS travelled really “strung” out with her hind legs – during the trot and canter her hinds are in the next county over. She’s travelled her entire life like that (at least since I’ve had her). Also, She’s ALWAYS been […] more
Clarification. Grrrrrr….
| April 1, 2010 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Obviously I shouldn’t be posting today as I keep needing to revise posts and I CAN’T from work. In the addendum….she was worked hard YESTERDAY, so I’m riding her today see how she responded to the hard work YESTERDAY. I am NOT going to work her hard today….but I’m going to ask for enough […] more
