Tales of a Mischievious Horse

Writing

Surfacing

There are owls outside in the woods, hooting and echoing to each other. The cat ignores them, languorous on the cat tree, awaiting royal attention. She doesn’t feel the stress of my days except when it is all too much. Read more…

Breezy has come a long way

Breezy’s first saddle was a Passier Compact. It was very comfortable, but she outgrew it over the winter. I took the saddle on trial for a weekend knowing I’d be able to return it if it didn’t fit. So our Read more…

Miss A and Miss B save the day

Or maybe just save my sanity. It’s been five months since Kasane died. I realized this afternoon when a friend of mine asked what had happened. I looked at the clock and realized it was almost the same time I Read more…

Stay-at-home orders and riding

I have avoided posting on here since the COVID-19 pandemic broke out mostly because I write about my time with the horses. There has been a lot going on, with fallout from Kasane’s passing, Andromeda arriving, and Breezy deciding she Read more…

Humor: Equine social distancing

All you need is a fly mask and a grazing muzzle and you’re golden! Ready for our outing to Cosco! That’s Isis in her grazing muzzle and fly mask. She had to wear a grazing muzzle any time she was Read more…

Wonkiness when riding

I am a reasonable rider. I have a good seat and most of the things that Breezy does when she is um… “asserting” her opinion I don’t have any trouble staying on. What got me was when she started getting Read more…

Introducting Andromeda

Andromeda arrived from Texas today after a long ride with Blue Ribbon Horse Transportation. She was a brave girl and walked down the ramp from her box stall and into her new paddock. She settled in and said hello to Read more…

Migraine today, thank you weather

I managed to work through a sinus headache today because, at the time, it wasn’t interfering with my reading. Until the weather front really got here and now it’s like a pounding headache that hurts whether my eyes are open Read more…

Reclaiming space

My friend and I are supposed to have riding lessons on Saturday. It’s supposed to rain Friday night and part of Saturday morning, so there is a chance things will be too wet to ride. Before my ride, my friend Read more…

Riding through grief

Grief does weird things to your head. It makes you feel fragile, as if any little thing might make you react in a way that might not be appropriate to the situation. That first week after Kasane died, I visited Read more…

RIP Cedars Kasane, 6 June 2006 to 10 Jan 2020

I can’t believe that she is gone. Kasane came up with what we thought was mild colic this morning. The barn owners called me about 8:45 AM. I called the vet, let my office know I wouldn’t be around today, Read more…

Breezy’s ride on 30 Dec 2019

My riding instructor has been riding Breezy once or twice a week since Kasane isn’t ready for lessons yet. We opted to put Kasane’s lesson and ride times towards Breezy. These rides have been a tremendous help for Breezy. She’s Read more…

Goopy, gunky nose on Kasane

Today, when I went to the barn I noticed that she had a serious runny nose. No cough, no fever, nothing that would indicate an infection like yellow, smelly discharge. Acting normal, except for the amount of green goo oozing Read more…

Kasane approved for rehab riding

Kasane’s lameness from her shoulder injury is almost completely gone. She is moving so much better. You can still see a little bit of an off movement on her front right but only barely. It’s hard to tell if that Read more…

Happy Halloween from Breezy and Kasane

I bought a unicorn headband and a sparkly witch hat not for me, but for my girls. They were both very good for their photo shoots. Happy Halloween from Breezy and Kasane.
