Most definitely not horsey
| November 30, 2014 | Posted by Melinda under Mel's Life |
*Warning* no horsey content here! But since (thanks to this blog and endurance) my friends are scattered far and wide and the *only* weekend that it was possible for me to throw a wedding reception was a holiday weekend AND a major endurance ride weekend, I figured sharing some of the adventure yesterday would be […] more

Happy Partner’s Day Farley! You are the best pony a girl could ever wish for. Last year I wrote a rather good (if I do say so myself) tribute to Farley and what she’s meant to me over all these years, so if you are into words just go re-read what I wrote last year. […] more

Seriously, it will be fun. I swear. First, lets discuss progress…. Woot Woot! I’m getting studying done thanks to this little app for Google Chrome. Although whether it’s a blessing or a curse I have not decided. Onto the various horsey-type questions I got today. For your entertainment of course. A theme to horses flipping […] more
