Best view in the world

First time I had these two pictures side by side, I was struck by how similar my two Bay Wonder Mares(tm) looked from the back. Same expression of the ears: listening, attentive and relaxed. The bright copper bay ears and neck belong to Isis. I took this picture when we were out on a trail ride around the farm’s perimeter.

Isis out on the trail. Best view in the world.

And then this picture, taken at the end of a ride on Kasane. Dark bay neck and ears plus the dark brown leather bridle with white stitching.

I feel so blessed to have had Isis in my life and now Kasane has taken over my world. Such a sweet little girl.

    The best way to quell pre-performance jitters is to go to the barn. While horses make some people nervous, they are my sanity. If I’m upset, just touching Isis is usually enough to calm me down. I dragged my dance instructor today to the barn. She didn’t mind because she also has horses. (In fact,…

    The good news continues (yay!). She drank water this morning. She seems to be handling everything well. The path out of the woods continues to brighten.

  • Studs in a jar

    For those of us who grew up on a horse breeding farm, the directions on the Stud Suds jar make for hysterical reading. In this case, the “studs” refer to metal studs that can be screwed into the bottom of horseshoes like cletes. It doesn’t mean the jar will let me fit a stallion in…
