MerryLegs is gorgeous. Tall. Elegant. Someday I’ll have a picture to prove that. I decided to turn her out in the arena to run around and blow off some steam. It’s been *ages* since she was out, something I was reminded of when she acted like everything between the paddock and the arena was new. […] more
ML saga update: follow up bloodwork
| January 9, 2015 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
I got Tuesday’s blood results back today and it’s good news! Her chem panel is normal (has remained normal throughout the whole ordeal which was the bright light in the midst of dark gloom) and her SAA which was over 7,000 at the beginning of this whole thing was…..6 on Tuesday. Vet agreed she looks […] 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.

Endurance Horse Skillz

I’m sure every affectionado of a particular horse sport has their pet peeves when it comes to how their horse’s training is perceived by people in other horse sports. Dressage is more than being able to have 3 gaits and go in a circle, and jumping potential is measured in ways other than the frequency […] more
August 12 Pony Play

It was pointed out that I have been lax in posting Merrylegs pictures. Mostly because my photo opportunities look like this: Tonight I went out to the stable and made a point of taking along the camera. Only to turn it on and find out that somehow the photo card had gotten “write protected”. Major […] more
