Swedish ad for horse racing
If horses lived and worked with us, maybe it would be something like this… Interesting how some ideas don’t even need words to convey meaning. 🙂 Especially with horses.

Vet Visit
The vet visit went well today. Both of the girls got their shots. Isis tickled me: quite a few times when I went out of her sight, she would nicker as soon as she saw me. Yup, that’s my kid. Isis was a model reformed mare — she used to be terrified of vaccinations. Today,…
Grazing Muzzle -1; Houdini Horse – 0
I checked on Isis tonight. Good news is that apparently her grazing muzzle is staying on okay. The bad news is it’s really pissing her off that she can’t get the muzzle off any more. I got back from vacation and went to the barn to see her before dark. Opened the stall door, and…
