I have a confession
| July 3, 2010 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
I have a confession. This year…..I haven’t been so good about getting off Farley during rides. Well…. my conscious compels me to be a bit more honest than that. This season, I haven’t gotten off my horse at ALL and I’ve required her to pack my ample behind up and down seriously steep trails. And […] more
Tevis Gremlins Strike Again!
| July 3, 2010 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
After two kitchen fires and three glasses of wine, dinner is served. It’s best that you don’t know all the details but it is sufficient to say that the first fire was of a magnitude that after vainly looking for a fire blanket in the kitchen and attempting to beat out the flames with a […] more

I’m pleased to announce the Team Faubel Tevis 2010 Rider sponsor is De-Lyte Bites! De-Lyte Bites is a new company that is owned by none other than fellow blogger Heather.

Do I finally get to blog about my horse????? It looks like I do! Which is a good thing, because I didn’t end up being able to RIDE today – among getting a 3 day evict notice (a *mistake* was made….and not by me), having my dremmel tool die in the middle of a trimming […] more

It was a monster….and except for my reviewers actually turning in their reviews, recieving my UCD transcripts, and paying the gazillion $$$ application fee, I’m done! I will probably hit the magical “submit” button […] more

Here’s a pic of Farley in her wonderful wool cooler: Here’s a pic of Farley so you’all can see how beautiful and “muscle-y” my Tevis horse is getting! Yes there are ribs *sigh*. but she looks like she’s in such beautiful condition I’m not going to worry about it. She’s getting plenty of feed and […] more
Show Champion!
| June 27, 2010 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Wonderful thing #1 As some of you long time readers may know, I haven’t had good luck with dressage shows. First there was the November schooling show, complete with a very tough judge and a scoring mistake. Then there was the May triple rated show, where at the last minute we switched me from training […] more
