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...
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....

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...
I might have two offers to ride horses for other people. I never thought about doing that, until I realized how out of shape I’ve become from not riding. SO… I’m going to take up the ladies on their offer. I’ll have to bring some fo my...
