I’ll be back shortly….
| September 9, 2011 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Yesterday, driving to school in my truck, I was dismayed to find I had less than a quarter tank of gas. To my amazement, as I drove throughout the day, my gauge readjusted itself so that I had MORE gas. What the heck is going on? It was parked on a slope – maybe that […] more
Endurance – a different look Pt. 1
| September 6, 2011 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Re-starting Endurance after an injury that has been in rehab for 5 months, and will likely continue to be in rehab for the next 18 months, is just that – a restart. A start from the beginning. The fact that Farley has almost a 1000 competition miles (not counting LD’s) and has finished Tevis and […] more

Yesterday I mentioned that I would not be going into Equine Medicine.

Apparently the definition of “sufficient” time off for a tendon injury is as follows: Horse will lose all signs of previous conditioning and assume a […] more
So you want to be a vet student….

Hi there! Remember me? Your resident vet student? That person who used to entertain you daily, or if not accomplishing that much, at least provided a somewhat amusing annoyance? And then vet school happened. Ah yes – vet school. I believe it’s been almost 2 weeks since I gave you a REAL update of vet […] more
Endurance for worriers
| August 23, 2011 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
One of the greatest things about having a blog and an endurance related business is the new people I get to meet. One of those friends that I regularly correspond with commented that at her last endurance ride she spent so much time worrying about various things during the ride it was hard to enjoy […] more
