We had our riding lesson, to mixed reviews. It was a bi-polar ride: we had the best ride we’ve ever had — and we had the worst ride at the very end. My instructor came out and we saddled Isis up and rode instead of lunging first....
Cr…Chromium You scored 30 Mass, 15 Electronegativity, 81 Metal, and 10 Radioactivity! Oooohaaaaah…. shiny! You probably have an incredibly stable and well-maintained group of friends… that probably also don’t get out much either. You’re not one to get bogged down by a problem. Of course, I’m basing...

Riding lesson will be next week. So another week to work with Isis and try and get some more training in. She has been doing well, but I really don’t feel like we’ve made progress. Maybe I’m too close to the situation to clearly see what is...
Another moving site… It honors the bond between horse and human. There are moving tributes to equines who have passed over from their owners. In Praise of the Horse, Tribute to the Equine/Human Bond Related Images:

Riding lesson tomorrow! I’m a little nervous. Well, not nervous. More like aware of how rusty some of my riding skills are. The pain killer is already in my purse because I know how sore I’ll be afterwards. It is a good soreness. Isis did pretty well...
I called the animal shelter this afternoon. The horse is doing okay and is not available for adoption. Apparently horse people came out in force with donations to help care for the horse until he/she is either returned to the owner or sent to the local horse...

Okay, I normally don’t post this type of thing but some times it’s just too amazing that the guy didn’t know he had a friggin’ knife in his skull! NEWS.com.au: Knife in Head Creates Headache Related Images:
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...
