Time off
June 10, 2011 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
I’m not doing so well with my time off. My (non-horsey) sister said that Farley looks depressed. I’m itching for a new project to get excited about and I can’t tell whether I’m too tired or too rested to blame my inability to do anything. Farley has had 3 1/2 months off, and I think […] more
The right tool
June 8, 2011 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Over the years I’ve posted a few times on fear. A recent conversation described some young children and their relationship to the horse and riding – in a nut shell, they love ridingbut are dealing with fear- of cantering, of going fast, of doing anything too “scary”. I want to scream at those kids and […] more
Movie recommendation

Finally got around to see Disney’s “tangled” last nght with Matt. (whole ‘nother story there that may be told later for maximum entertainment purposes….). You’all have probably seen it already but if you haven’t – rent it for a dollar and have a movie night. Even if you make a policy of not watching princess […] more

Remember that “It’s raining, it’s pouring post”? Yeah…not my best work. Just had a chance to read it in google reader (side note – I have 1,000 unread posts in Google Reader!

In case anyone cares (like AareneX for example, I know she has TONS of sympathy…..) it’s still […] more
It’s raining it’s pouring…

If there was ever a year to miss a season of endurance riding, this was the year to miss. Record rain fall this weekend (that would because it’s June, folks. It doesn’t rain in June….), Tevis moved to October due to enormous snow levels in the upper elevations (Ski areas will be open until July), […] more
One or Many?
June 1, 2011 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Here’s a draft post from a LONG time ago. I never posted it because I didn’t really reach a conclusion. To help me try and clarify, I posted the question “One or horse or many?” on the yahoo group new100milers. For as many people who preferred one horse, there were those that couldn’t imagine not […] more
