Cindy, You can do it. I did it, it took a while but we are now able to ride by ourselves from the farm. I think the key with my horse was to push her just a little at a time. I had a lot of friends at rides, at home to help me. Karol was a bear to c…

Ooo yes this is a very important question! I think that a pale blue, or turquoise would go well with chestnut.

Very important item - what color goes best with a liver chestnut? She has navy on in the picture. Very sweet mare, so a girly color is best :). Navy Blue? Or a yellow? Or tan?

Angie, this is wayyy too adorable. And can Josie come by sometime and teach me how to scramble up on a horse without a mounting block? :)

About Me:

I started riding about 7 years ago, and got my first arabian to do rides with about a year later. Love that horse, but a year after I got her, I found out she had physical constraints that don't allow her to do endurance. I've done a few rides without her on horses borrowed from some generous friends, but it's not the same. Now I finally have horse #2, another arabian mare, but only 3.5 yrs old. So we are starting our journey together learning to do this silly sport. Egads!

Diary of a Chicken

The outdoor arena. It looked safe enough. The sand was soft and deep. What could go wrong?

But then, I was riding the 4 YEAR OLD. The very tall (15 hh for pete's sake!), very bendy, very agile, 4 YEAR OLD. The one that tossed me last fall and sent me to the ER. She's very mellow, very sweet, and actually very slow right now (a bit porky from the winter...), but that's not what's in my head. In my head, is the fresh memory of being fine one second, and the next hitting very hard

A Founder Saga Part II - Success!

Why is this the most beautiful picture EVER?!

Because this horse is TROTTING!

If you read my last post, I talked about the long road my horse, Zoey, and I have been on since she rotated her coffin bones last summer. She's made slow progress, but slight progress. We tried a… Continue

1 step forward, 3 steps back, Cha Cha Cha

My 4 yr old mare, Hula Mayya, is only my 2nd 'new' horse. And she's teaching me how much I don't know about riding :).

My 1st horse, Zoey, taught me many things, none I was too eager to find out really, but she was generous enough to offer me many training opportunities. My first year with her, I learned how to keep a horse from bolting out of the arena (lots of leg, a well timed crop, and stay agile enough to duck under a door frame when she dives out into the aisle). I also learned how to sta… Continue

Stuck in Neutral - A Founder Saga

Why does this horse look so sad?

My 14 yr old horse Zoey, the prettiest, sweetest BEST horse in the world has had a rough year. Diagnosed with COPD (Heaves) in the early spring, then she got hit with a case of laminitis in April. She was improving from that, then one thing led to another, and she took a dive f… Continue

abscess getting better, just not 100% yet, frustrating buggers....

thanks for the tip on the hoof sock - wioll check it out!

my puter got hacked, so on a (very slow) backup, so not online much....have more to tell you soon - have a contact for you for a riding buddy/endurance mentor!

At 9:08pm on February 1, 2010, Karry Heun said…: Hey! It feels like we won't ever ride again doesn't it? My mare spent 2 days in hospital with colic. It's amazing how much weight they can lose in a few days. I was just starting to see improvement too. I hope your abscess heals quickly. I saw a little product in a magazine the other day called a hoof sock. Just a neoprene sock that stays put, and keeps your meds in place, or keeps it clean once the abscess opens up. Sure beats duct tape if you as me!
