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

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

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
Bah Humbug!

The Amazon order of my water bottle pack was suppose to come YESTERDAY, thanks to discounted student amazon prime membership with free 2 day shipping. For the first time, Amazon/UPS has FAILED me. According to the tracking information that package is at my front door TODAY, RIGHT NOW. Which is day 3. Of course, I’m […] more
I found *shoes!
| August 1, 2012 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
*the term shoes used in the loosest sense, as objects that will shield my feet from the sensitive eyes of onlookers and especially pointy rocks on the trail. As much as I love my Soft Star moccasins for running, they just weren’t working in the saddle. I found I really needed a sole under my […] more
