Thursday question post

Check out Many Muddy Paws blog and join me in a Thursday Question post. A benefit of being a vet student is that I can pull the “but I was really busy and stressed and that’s why…” card and everyone seems to nod in understanding. So….you might notice that not only is it NOT Thursday, […] more
How Endurance will look different pt. 4
| September 19, 2011 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
This is the end of my musings on how endurance is going to look different for Team Faubel. Thank goodness. There’s nothing like getting in the car for the morning commute and looking at the full moon and feeling a sudden impulse to whip through the pre-dawn streets without headlights to let you know that […] more

Re-starting Endurance after an injury that has been in rehab for 5 months, and will likely continue to be in rehab for the next 18 months, is just that – a restart. A start from the beginning. The fact that Farley has almost a 1000 competition miles (not counting LD’s) and has finished Tevis and […] more

Yesterday I mentioned that I would not be going into Equine Medicine.
