“A Little R&R”: Ride and Tie Essay 2014 – ONLINE!!!!!!
| October 3, 2015 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
A year ago I wrote an article on Rest and Recovery that won the Ride and Tie Jim Steere Veterinary Student scholarship. It was published in the fall newsletter but I’ve been waiting and waiting….and waiting for that newsletter to go online so I could share it with you digitially. It’s FINALLY uploaded! The used […] more
Plan C
| October 2, 2015 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Plan A was to go or a drive. (Above are rub marks from the wraps on the shafts – not painful or tender, but the hair is gone and the skin is flaky and that’s BAD). Onto plan B. Which too bad she was a complete and total….. Plan C it is. So instead there […] more
Hoof trim over time – 14 days
| October 2, 2015 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Oh the lure of leaving it another 7 days in order to get a picture that more fully documents the range of our average trim cycle (3ish weeks average)….or trim now. Very real risk of waiting – I could go into labor and then not be able to trim for a while. (in which case […] more

Click to embiggin. My comments on day 7 are very much like my comments on day 2 – a little sole wants to come out on lateral quarter and toe but not bad enough to do anything exciting. On day 7 I tore off some loose flaps of frog with my fingers. Can you […] more

| September 21, 2015 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
We are in agreement. One does not learn how to drive in harness from Youtube. Or the internet. Or from forums. Or from random 4-H manuals posted out of New Hampshire. However, suppose that one actually has driving experience. A lot of it actually for a California girl – driving doesn’t seem as widely popular […] more
