"What’s for lunch" post
| August 10, 2012 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
As you might have guessed these posts tend to go up when for some reason I won’t be able post something more substantial. In today’s case, my calves hurt (from riding in shorts), I’m still sore from working out Tuesday, I’ve had a migraine since yesterday, and then to top it off, when I was […] more
Update – nathan hydration pack
| August 9, 2012 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Remember the pack I bought? I used it on my fast paced ride that I wrote about yesterday. Bottom line? It works GREAT. I didn’t even notice the pack, I carried it half full of water, allowing for plenty of sloshing. Here’s the results: The good -It didn’t bounce-It didn’t slosh-It didn’t leak-I didn’t even […] more
Griffin’s Tack
| August 8, 2012 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
I’ve bought a lot of stuff from Griffin’s tack over the years and so I was saddened to see this on Ridecamp: Henry (of Griffins Tack) suffered a stroke late last week and is back home now from the hospital, but will not be able to travel to any rides for the remainder of the […] more
Earrings that truly celebrate the horse
| August 8, 2012 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
I don’t own any horse-themed jewerly. I find much of the stuff on the market way too cutsy for my taste. And really, I’m sick of horseshoes – to me they don’t represent THE HORSE and my relationship with that animal – they are just things that we stick on them in order to use […] more
A story of "naive optimism" and sandbagging

I have a TON of product review updates and a few new things…. But first a bit of whining. I’m in a tremendous amount of pain. Enough pain that I’m wondering how well those vicodin in the cupboard would work, that was was given for the plantar wart removal that I never needed to take. […] more
May I announce…..
| August 5, 2012 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
The new Melinda. Or rather, the old Melinda. That isn’t really right either. How about, It took me 18 months to find myself again after a load of huge life changes, and to my delight, I was in there the entire time. I adore this picture. Rarely do I actually pose and smile for a […] more
Today is Tevis
| August 5, 2012 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
I am crawling out of my skin. I went to Robie (where the ride starts) on Friday to catch up with Ashley from the Go Pony Blog and cheer on those riders that are wearing Renegade STRAP ONS for the Tevis, (whoo hoo!!!!!) and compulsively buy 2 new pieces of endurance equipment. Since I’m back […] more
