I rode today! =) Isis and I rode with another person at the barn in the front pasture. It was Isis’ first time there undersaddle. We were both a little nervous. Overall she was good (and would have been better if I had calmed down a little). It was nice to be back on her.
I [...]
My posts here have been reduced since Isis has been in NC. I’ve been out to the barn almost every day so I can work with her.
Most of her first week was spent lunging and getting her in shape. Her feet were long, so I had to wait until after her trim to work [...]
Isis hauled beautifully and did very well. She has settled in and seems to be adjusting. She has her own stall and her own turn out paddock. She is up during the day and out at night.
I discovered tonight that she doesn’t like the new water. She has been at a barn with city water [...]
To me this is even better than selling the house: Isis will be in North Carolina on the weekend of August 24th! Whee!
Finally! Finally! Finally! (Happy dance!)
This is like Christmas and birthday and Big Happy Surprise rolled into one.
It has been nerve wracking having her in a different state. I trust the people [...]
This was sent to me by a friend who also has an Arabian horse. Thought I would share it.
My treasures do not clink together or glitter, they gleam in the sun and neigh in the night. - Arab proverb
And another one I’ve used as a sig on some forums:

The best part of this weekend was visiting Isis. When I pulled up on Friday, Isis was in the paddock next to the barn. I rolled down the door and said her name. She immediately nickered and yelled for me. I grinned. The barn owner said that she never whinnies for anyone like she does [...]
Tonight was a Horse Masters meeting tonight at the Occoneechee Steakhouse in Hillsborough, NC. The last meeting was also held there. Good food, pretty reasonable prices. One of the ladies in Horse Masters had called ahead and confirmed that the restaurant could handle a group of 20-25.
Meeting started at 7:00. Nice chatting with everyone. [...]
I have pictures of Isis all over my cube. Her face is the background on my cell phone. I carry several hundred megabytes worth of pictures of her every where I go on my MP3 player. It is almost impossible to express how much I miss her. It’s like having your sanity in another state…
Misisng [...]
I’ve been trying to get things unpacked in the apartment. Some days, like Wednesday, I’m super productive. Other days, like today, I’m not even close. I unpacked maybe one box tonight. Shuffled things around. Just didn’t have the energy after work to do much. Instead, I will probably opt to go to bed early.
Tomorrow morning [...]
Remember the lady I had called earlier about boarding near Hillsborough? She called me last night. Her daughter is going of to college so she’ll have space for one boarder? Well she called me. Originally I had told her that what she wanted would be too much and that I wanted to check around. (And [...]
