So starting to lease a horse in January in a place where temperatures are often below freezing was probably not the best move ever. Especially when that horse was just broke last summer and is still young. Today is the first time ever that I am actually going to be able to ride Texas 2 [...]

Today, for the first time that I know of, the barn owner at Hill Farm was upset with me. I have been having one of those weeks to begin with. At least Genny is doing fine! I has asked her to do a favor for me, which she did, but apparently she did it grudgingly. [...]

Last night after work I was tired and even thought about not going to the barn. I had to remind myself that the one thing that can make my day better no matter what is seeing my pony. So I bundled up (it was 20 degrees for the high yesterday) and headed out. By the [...]

So SolitareMare over at A Good Horse is ready to get back into the horse owning swing of things. Her struggles to find a new horse got me thinking about something. She just lost her horse and is now trying to find her next “Perfect Horse”. Her frustration at horse shopping is normal and I [...]

The woman said that my horse just needed to move around a little. She also said that she was not done with the trim job. It was very unbalanced and she would have just left well enough alone but she was worried he would hurt himself since the job wasn’t done. She insistent she had [...]

Before I start my post can I point out something very cool? Gennyral has something in common with one of the players in the Super Bowl! No, I am not kidding. 2 Years ago when they injected Gen with stem cells they also did something else to try and increase the speed he healed at. [...]

I should be writing a post about the not so good trimmer visit yesterday right now. I think I need another day to cool off from that one though (yeah…it was BAD). I am stoked that is is going to be in the 40s by me today so I can ride this afternoon! Yay! I [...]
