I want to Ride. Dammit.
I have been planning all week to ride this weekend. And now the weather is calling for rain on Friday evening, Saturday, and Sunday. !@#$!#$.

I’ve been riding more. Not enough, but I’m averaging about twice per week, which is twice as much as before. I’m trying to work the kids on a more consistent basis. Isis is looking good and is back to actually doing collection work. She’s fun to ride. It’s like a light went on last summer…

I knew my old all purpose saddle (the Zaldi in the image gallery below, first picture) did not fit properly. When…
Isis this morning
The barn just called. Isis may be having another episode of EPM (neurological disorder), like she did back in June. She isn’t as bad as she was then, but she still isn’t “right.” I’ll write more when I know more. I’m on my way out to the barn now. Update: It’s not EPM. It’s choking….
