A Gray MerryLegs?
| November 4, 2014 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
ML really really wants to be gray. The grey hairs on her face, body, and legs have multiplied as her winter coat grew in. Her baby pictures didn’t overwhelming suggest that she was going to be grey. At two years old she doesn’t look like she’s going to be grey. But she’s a weird bay. […] more
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

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!

Reader question: Hydration parameters
| October 30, 2014 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Sometimes I get a question from a reader or friend that is too good of a question not to share more broadly with you, My Dear Reader. What makes a good question? 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
