A New Connection
| October 22, 2010 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
My focus today was riding Farley forward to the connection. How much of her (very little) forward have I been inhibiting by thinking “pull” rather than “push”? The elastic, seeking connection is wonderful and mind boggling difficult to describe. When I’m riding with the correct connection, I feel as if I have an immense responsibility […] more
It’s about time!
| October 21, 2010 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
I’ve been decidedly good lately. And it has nothing do to with horses. *waits as approximately 3/4 of her readers leave, suddenly disinterested* I backed up my computer. For the first time EVER. In my life. My lap top was purchased in 2005. That’s positively ancient in computer years. I’ve NEVER had a problem with […] more
Watch and Learn….
| October 20, 2010 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
As I mentioned after the Comstock ride report, Farley sometimes trots out funny. And by “funny”, I mean “looks lame”. [10/21/10 update: A better word to use here is “uneven”. It’s very subtle. Tevis is the only ride I’ve gotten a request to re-trot out because of it (at Robinson) – it’s a tougher vet […] more

And here it is….the reason I started this blog almost 2 years ago – a decent vet school admissions statement. It goes without saying that if you are reading this, and are planning on copying it and using it as your own in some future admissions process, that I WILL track you down and use […] more
Renegade Boot Dealer
| October 16, 2010 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
This week I became a Renegade Hoof Boot Dealer! I’ve never imagined becoming a seller for any product, but again – I never imagined I would be so happy with a product, that it’s a privilege, not a burden to sell. For the past year I’ve been late out of vet checks and dawdled on […] more
Farley The "Wonder Horse"
| October 12, 2010 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Farley is becoming quite well known in this small community. On Saturday, when I rode up to have the vet check her teeth, she exclaimed, “it’s Farley the Wonder Horse!” Now mind you, this is not my regular vet, although she works in the clinic where I take Farley for her wellness and general health […] more
