Whee!!! I rode Isis for the first time sincer her surgery. Granted, it wasn’t much or for very long, but it was still sitting on her back… She moves so differently from Rajiyyah. Rajiyyah’s steps are more upright, more bounce. Isis reaches with her shoulder and strides out like a thoroughbred a full hand taller […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I called Mom tonight. She couldn’t talk at the time because she was trying to get Sahra’s (pronounced Sara) foal to nurse. She said he had a colt and then had to hang up. Sahra’s colt is a brother to my mare, Isis, and an uncle to Rajiyyah. Mom said he is gorgeous: a darker […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I was answering an email about Epona and a feast date on June 13th. This date seems a litle strange to me. I’ve heard of it before, but haven’t found any real supporting evidence. Many of the sites where this date is listed state that it is the “Celtic” feast of Epona (as opposed to […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Happy Valentine’s Day! Hope everyone has a pleasant one. Tweet

Arabian: I changed it an hour ago. Come on you guys, catch up! Quarter Horse: Put all the bulbs in a pen and […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

She showed how much strength she has. Coming home after a week and a half in the hospital marked […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Only Horse People: Believe in the 11th Commandment: Inside leg to outside rein. Know that all topical medications come in either indelible blue or neon yellow. Think nothing of eating a sandwich after mucking out stables. Know why a thermometer has a yard of yarn attached to one end of it. Are banned from Laundromats. […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
February 17-26 I was sick with the same illness I had in December. Yet again. Not fun. This time I saw my doctor (instead of the nurse practitioner). She said I had an upper respiratory viral infection along with bronchitis and a secondary sinus infection. She basically ordered me to bed until the following Monday. I hate […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
