Product Review – Dead animal cart
| December 2, 2009 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
I was told in no uncertain terms by my tevis crew that next year I WILL have a folding cart, similar to the aluminum folding carts that were seen at the ride….After pricing the carts at $220-350 (although they do come cheaper if you search for “marine folding aluminum cart” and buy from a non-horsey […] more
2009 – a look behind
| December 2, 2009 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Darn it! This was scheduled to be posted on 11/30, the last day of the AERC 2009 season….followed dramatically by the 2010 goal post yesterday. *Sigh*. Somehow the status on this one got changed from “scheduled” to “draft”. The best laid plans……..No sense in wasting a perfectly good post, especially as I am sick, so […] more

For 2010 I will divide my goals into 2 sections – Those goals that I should reasonable attain, and… Those goals that are so far out there, even my sisters (who apparently believe I’m capable of anything – and I mean anything) are going to avert their eyes in shame.

Because let’s face it, unless I’m on my death bed, paralyzed from the waist down, I AM going to go see the pony. Which led to yet another (lost count of which # this is….) Revelation. #??. Reins pull […] more

Desert Gold Day 1 2009 – another 55 miles under my belt and under Farley’s girth. I end the 2009 season with 475 miles. Some of you may remember my mother’s (Carolyn) comment on an earlier post about my old blog layout resembling a comfortable pair of jeans that are ready to be thrown out….I […] more
A lesson and musings Part 2
| November 26, 2009 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
I was very entertained at my lesson today. My instructor rode Farley. Let me revise that. My very tall instructor rode Farley. Who sticks at 14.2 ONLY because she has super high withers. Is more like an honest 14.1 or 14.0. Hehehehehe. Today we worked on connection and stretching that connection. My instructor hopped on […] more
A lesson and more musings Part 1

Karen has a GREAT post up today, talking about your horses biggest bad habits. Definitely check it out. I’m sure there will be an interesting and entertaining discussion over there… I am SERIOUSLY considering riding Farley in a hackamore for the second half of the Desert Gold ride, her attitude permitting. She’s been doing SO […] more
