Anger
| June 8, 2010 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Since I’ve come to the conclusion that a certain governmental organization exists solely for the purpose of making my job a cesspool of frusteration and stupidity, I’m feeling uniquely capable of writing a post on anger right now. Much to Funder’s delight I’m sure. I’m almost relieved someone else stepped forward and admitted to being […] more
A new blog to add to your Reader
| June 7, 2010 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
My cousin Eleanor, accompanied me to Wild West and decided to document it with stories and pictures. Remember when I told you’all that the reason I never wrote before this blog was because I come from a family of very talented writers? So I never saw the reason to weigh down the world with my […] more

The dressage lesson after a ride is always disappointing. She’s usually stiff and disobedient. It seems like all the pulling and disobedience I let her get away with at a ride always puts us back at least 1-2 weeks in our dressage training.

Farley update (because all of you care as much as I do right?): Farley looks fine and is moving great….as long as it’s on soft footing.

If you dropped something on the trail during an endurance ride (conditioning rides don’t count….) what would you do? […] more
Tevis is on

Here’s the update: Filling is gone (Filling is normal in her fronts, but will dissapear within 24 hours. If it stays longer, it is abnormal) Farley moves out at a canter/gallop/trot on her own at liberty without prompting during turnout. I can’t see any lameness or uneveness in her gait. (this has been true since […] more
Wild West Lessons learned
| June 1, 2010 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
At Wild West, I focused on tackling issues that Farley and I had struggled with and therefore avoided over the past couple of years. Now that we are no longer fledgling endurance partners struggling to finish the distance, it’s time tackle those issues head on. And yes, they are as much my issues as they […] more
