ML @ the trainer day (-2)
| February 26, 2015 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
ML got dropped off at the trainer’s with a couple of days to settle in before she starts full training on March 2. When ML came home ten months ago….OMG has it been almost a year? I feel like such a failure – did I really just hang out with her and do the bare […] more
Merrylegs….going going GONE

To the trainer’s that is! Amber Clark wa my trainer of choice for MerryLegs and I was lucky enough to get on her schedule earlier this year. I’ve known Amber for a couple of years now and have gotten the chance to see her ride her own horses at endurance rides, as well as train […] more
Nemesis continued
| February 22, 2015 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Besides stumps and cut logs, Farley’s other nemesis is….actually @##@!$^ conditioning. *Deep breath* I’m not complaining. I’m really not. There’s worse things than a horse that takes it easy at home.

Better late then never! Let’s look at what ponies and Mel did last month. MerryLegs Nada. Zip. Some turn out. I’ve said hello to her and given her scratches. She was an angel for the vet. Nothing else. To be honest my focus is elsewhere right now. I need to get Farley ready for a 50 […] more

After some long shifts on ER I’ve finally regrouped. Climbed through the paddock bars tonight to lay hands and eyes on the ponies (spoiler alert they are fine), went for a run in my new shoes (more on that later) and now its blog time! What Mel read… in the month of January! (and considering […] more
