2009 was a very strange year for me. I lost Lexington in the last weeks of 2008 so I was not even sure I would ride much in 2009. Then Phoenix came along and with some prodding by friends I started to lease him January 5th, 2009. At first I thought I would get out [...]

But we don’t use the “S” word around here.

What “s” word? Shoe. I am so bummed out right now to write that Gen is getting shoes put on this morning. My horse has been happily barefoot for over 2 years now. In fact, never in the history of my blog has Gen ever had shoes. That is all about to change this morning. [...]
So How Did Phoenix Like His Tacky New Blanket?

Hahaha…when I first got out the camera this is the face I got. Clearly the fat spotted pony doesn’t want his picture taken with his new, very loud, tacky as can be, blanket on. Poor little bugger was totally embarrassed by it. As you can tell I took this pictures before the big snow storm [...]
Normal people do not see a boarded horse everyday…

So while we didn’t get the 2 feet of snow that was predicted, we did get a lot of snow. Enough to keep me from going to see Gen. I tried, but since we don’t get huge snow storms that often by me the snow removal on the roads was just not that great. My [...]
What a great horsey snow story.

I am missing my Gennyral today. I tried to go up to see him but since he lives in horse country, which is not known for flat easy to drive roads, I didn’t get to the barn. Since I am missing my horse I thought I would share this sweet story about a fire department [...]
Early morning visit to the barn…

I have been battling a stomach bug since Thursday. Nothing serious, I just don’t feel well etc. So when normal people don’t feel well they rest. When a horse person does not feel well and a major winter storm is coming in, they go and ride. Yesterday was my only day to ride all week. [...]
Phoenix’s New Blanket Came In…

And it is even more tacky than I could have dreamed of! I cannot wait to put it on him!! And yes, you are allowed to feel bad for my fat spotted pony. I honestly think he will like how jazzy it is though.
Senior Horse “Tails”…

Now I am not a big fan of senior feed in horses. I had a friend in vet school who did a study on grains and found that senior feeds were some of the worst things you could feed a horse. Their high fat and sugar content lends itself to the development of cushings. My [...]
In France, horse falling off restaurant menus

I don’t know whether to thank Reuters for running this story or just be weirded out that people eat horse. I saw this story though and had to share. I couldn’t find a picture of the poster they talk about anywhere. Anyone out there ever eaten horse? Would anyone out there do it if they [...]
