Isis would have been 19 today. Same birthday as my little sister.

Update on the Grey Wonder Mare
Rajiyyah’s leg is looking much better! We stopped wrapping it on Sunday evening. Monday night it was still swollen and the cut looked kinda nasty — caked with blood and pieces of shavings. However, after 20 minutes of hosing to reduce swelling and get the gunk off of it, there was a pleasant surprise: the…
Missing the Barn
It seems like I barely have time to be at the barn, maybe once per week? This is the time I really need to be out there. How could I have forgotten that three years ago it was this time of year when Isis had laminitis? I was supposed to go to a belly dance…

Her concentration is much better after she exercises herself for a little while. So much improved overall. I wasn’t going to…
Courbette Magic Dressage Saddle

Brahm Queen’s first ride
The people at my barn are trying out a very sweet off-the-track Thoroughbred. She’s a big bay mare with a lot of heart. Fascinating to learn about the differences with Thoroughbreds who have raced and what that means they are used to (like someone mounting and then walking off immediately). A barn name hasn’t been…
