My friend Zoltan came out with me to the barn on Tuesday and videod a ride on Kasane. It’s in three parts. Unfortunately the first part is sideways. (I’ll fix this as soon as I get the license for my video editing software sorted out.) These rides are very early in Kasane’s training. She’s had…
off to ride! Barn trail ride today. Should be fun. I'll either ride Isis bareback or Kasane on her first outting. 🙂 # Looking for a phone that can do everything and smoke the iPhone?

The stitches came out last week on Friday. So far, everything looks good: healing clean without tendon damage. However, there is some nerve damage. The top and inside of my finger feels like it has a perpetual case of Novacaine-like numbness. As the swelling goes down, I’ve regained a little range of motion. I can…
Josh Ritter’s latest album features a song called “The Curse,” about an archaeologist who falls in love with a mummy. The music video for this song was created by the band’s drummer, who is also a puppeteer. It is so nice to hear a story-driven song with a good melody. The video is just perfect….
Got out to the barn today and Isis was in a fully sweat and grumpy. Too hot to do anything except groom and hose the girls. # Anyone want an invite to #Glass If so, PM me and I'll send you one. (writeonglass.com. Neat stuff. Make sure to read the service terms.) # Hints of…

Sylvana, a friend of mine at the barn, and I both have four year olds we are working with under saddle. Our two Arabs (okay, he’s technically an Anglo-Arabian) have the Arab herd-brain: when one snorts the other automatically snorts and looks around. Even if nothing is there. It just takes a snort. Funny to…
I had a riding lesson up at Mom’s on Saturday. I rode Piccolo (Hanoverian warmblood schoolmaster horse) in a dressage lesson with Lauara, one of Mom’s new instructors. She was very good. She explained how to do a half-pass properly by pushing with my inside leg every time I felt his inside back leg move…

Stella is 21 this month. She is the oldest cat I’ve ever had. She has been very healthy and spry for the most part. Since the move to the new apartment, she has been losing weight and not looking as good. She is looking more her age instead of being so kittenish. (She did play…
