Still here
Hi all. Yep, we’re still here. Blue Ridge donated the last of our needed vaccines (thank you Blue Ridge Equine!) so Jeanne1, Jeanne3 and I finished the last of the horses today. Whew! I am so glad that’s over! Relief. We are all back up to date on everything necessary to stay happy and healthy ...
Tuffy
Hey there. Haven’t chatted in a while, so I thought I’d bring you up to date. Or at least partially so. You don’t honestly believe I’d put all my secrets on the internet, do you? So, I took Gator hunting third flight last Saturday. And despite the fact we had a lovely view of the ...
Did I mention?
That it has been raining quite a lot down here in Virginia? Yeah, it has. Solid for the last three days and we are under water and there are flood warnings for practically the entire state (unless, of course, you live on one of those “mountains”). Yesterday morning all of my black barn ponies were ...
Sassy!
Did I tell you all that Sassy Lad came back a couple of weeks ago? His adopted mother is a police officer, and her job recently left her with no time at all to play with The Sassman. So, when she did get the chance to go play with him, looking for a little stress ...
Sweetbriar
Yesterday I had a few girls from Sweetbriar college come out to work off a community service requirement for some course they are all taking. Lauren, Simone, Bree and Bree (how many Brees i n this world? Two? I had ‘em both in the field. How odd) helped me go through the old guy’s field ...
Brown deserves her own post
Brown went back to the lunge line to practice cantering. I wanted to make certain that when I said CANTER! she absolutely, positively knew what I was asking. Flapping like a rabid duck for upward transitions is too much like work, not to mention it looks pretty silly. She gets it alright, but I don’t ...
Red is brilliant
Yesterday Red went back to gymnastics. She hadn’t jumped in a while, and I like to change things up so they don’t get sour. Ring work one day, then a trail ride, then some jumping, then maybe trailer therapy… That sort of thing. Anyway, I set up a simple little exercise – ground pole to ...
Happy T day
I hope you all eat too much and spend the day lying on the floor regretting that last bit of pie, just as I plan to. But the only really good holiday is the fourth of July because you get to blow stuff up. Not much to the rest of ‘em. This weather is nuts. ...
Brown’s big adventure
Today Brown went on a ride around Montpelier. Mostly we take them in the woods out behind the barn, so this was only her second trip out with the cars, and tractors, and school bus loads of children, race horses training on the track, and oh yes, Keswick Hunt (which is why we didn’t opt ...
Gotcha!
Hey! I just got a surprise visit from Dr. Kovich (VA dept of agriculture) and Deputy Dahl (Orange County Animal Control). They popped in to check the herd. So I drove them around (in the rain. Seems it’s always raining around here) and showed them. They seemed pretty happy with everything. The horses are fat, ...
