Endurance ride = truck problems
| April 8, 2010 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
I’m seeing a disturbing trend. And it has nothing to do Farley, her hocks, or my current obsession of learning to vault into the saddle (look mom! no stirrups!) Thursday before a ride = truck problems Let me take you back….way back…..to the Thursday before my 100. (Because let’s face it, anything […] more
Proof that I do NOT OCD about everything
| April 8, 2010 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Is it the season for hind limb lameness? A couple of days ago Behind the Bit had a very useful post on the 3 main medicines used in hock injections (and gave me a cheat sheet that made me sound brilliant at the vet, and now she has another great post on hock versus stifle […] more
A most unwitty post in which Melinda muses about various things
| April 8, 2010 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
I have ZERO funny stuff to say. Absolutely nothing witty, entertaining, or remotely humorous. Sorry.

Miss Dandelion goes poof
