ML’s revelation
| December 8, 2014 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
In honor of yet another big storm hitting my area, I present to you the valuable lesson ML learned during the last storm. At morning *doping: Yes, ML was the ONLY horse on a 20 horse property *not* in a shelter. Never mind that I moved her to this paddock because it has one of […] more
Earl Grey’s new trick
| December 7, 2014 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
The Wednesday before Thanksgiving, Earl Grey learned a new trick. I am not amused. My husband is not amused. If Farley cared one itty bitty iota about my sanity, she would be un-amused. (I can’t imagine ML being un-amused about anything so she doesn’t get to join this party). Apparently, not content with making me […] more
Nov 14 IRL
| December 6, 2014 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
As you will see, November behaved itself all the way up until the midpoint. And then things generally went insane (again). This happened, followed by this, and of course this.

The list for Nov is admittedly short, having been distracted by Early Grey’s new trick (a subject of a future blog post), receptions, tests, deaths and a multitude of other happenings that have me emerging from November a bit battered but whole nevertheless. So what did Mel read this month when not impersonating a rather comatose vegetable […] more

The Grandpa of the family drove and bred Belgian draft horses and they were kept right by the dairy. I was horse crazy even then, and […] more
Most definitely not horsey

*Warning* no horsey content here! But since (thanks to this blog and endurance) my friends are scattered far and wide and the *only* weekend that it was possible for me to throw a wedding reception was a holiday weekend AND a major endurance ride weekend, I figured sharing some of the adventure yesterday would be […] more
Here’s to 7 years, my friend
| November 27, 2014 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Happy Partner’s Day Farley! You are the best pony a girl could ever wish for. Last year I wrote a rather good (if I do say so myself) tribute to Farley and what she’s meant to me over all these years, so if you are into words just go re-read what I wrote last year. […] more
