MerryLegs, 2 years 8 months
| November 3, 2014 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
MerryLegs is looking quite….recovered. Last week I turned her and Farley out together, figuring that MerryLegs could finally handle being pushed around exercised and be reminded of social niceties. I think it will be awhile until I house them together again. There are both logistical reasons (medicated twice daily mashes) and herd dynamic reasons. […] more
Oct Link Luv

Most of these are from October, but since this is the first month I’ve made a concentrated effort to put this together, there are some oldies but goodies here too. Enjoy! I’m always very amused by lists like this (probably a horrible fault of mine). How to tell a hipster from a trail runner Anyone doing […] more
Oct IRL

October was definitely a month of sending carefully laid plans to the graveyard. MerryLegs LOTS of new stuff….starting with her first vet visit on Oct 1. *sigh*.

Dear Mouse

Dear Effing Mouse, Yes you, the one that chewed little holes in my precisely pre-measured, medicated bags of feed. And then spread the feed all over the floor of my tack room last night. I hope you die a painful, terrible, TMS-autoimmune mediated death. That is all. Melinda more

Sometimes it’s because it’s a subject I’m particularly passionate about, sometimes it’s a question I get frequently, and sometimes it’s a question that […] more
Night Riding

Hi it’s me. I’m heading out on Farley for a night ride. Same loop as usual, same plan. I’ll call or text when I get back. Bye. More often lately Matt gets this message on his phone as I head out into the dark, regardless of the moon, to get some miles in. Riding at […] more
Farley’s new job
| October 27, 2014 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Sunday I turned MerryLegs out into the arena where she could buck, rear, kick, and run. In contrast to her paddock where only the first 3 could (and did quite spactacularly) occur . The kids who come for lessons love MerryLegs. She’s sweet, personable, and interactive. But on Sunday I noticed something else. Two little […] more
