Alright, lets see if I can get these photos right. I trimmed Taco's feet.. They were already chipping after two weeks, so I got a lesson from a friend on how to do it and I though I would give it a go. I could have been more aggressive with the toe, but I was conservative as it was my first go :P But I still brough it back from where the farrier ( Read more... ) -
Natural Phenom.
I am sitting here in the back yard after a day of ritualistic house chores. The weather has cooled a bit, a pleasant respit from the hazy, hot and humid that set in after this mornings round of thunderstorms. To the west, the sun is strong, and I can feel the heat of the day in it's rays as they touch my skin. Stronger as it magnifies through a ( Read more... ) -
How can people live this way???
My brother is supposed to be here with the family. They were supposed to be here yesterday evening. I get an email: "We missed out flight and I am in the rebooking line, can someone check the internet and tell me when the next Spirit flight is...

General Update
Stopped up at the barn yesterday and was going to bareback Taco in the ring for a bit, but one of the girls came in I hadn't met yet, and we decided to go for a trail ride. She makes this awesome cookies for the horses that are on sale at the barn. She has been getting orders for them over the internet as well... cool deal. So we chatted alone the ( Read more... ) -

Wow, what a nice day...
My parents came up today and arrived just before 11. They brought bagels and coffee and we sat in the yard for a bit before heading out the play golf. It was a bit hot, but the course we were on had quite a few trees (for the good and the bad of it LOL). Our tee time was noon. It was abit backed up, so it was a prety leisurely game, which is fine ( Read more... ) -

Can't remember what other ribbons were had.. bt it started to get real hot and people started bailing (including us) at the end... but they time we ( Read more... ) -

Why the vid's insist on going on top, I'll never know...
So went up again to ride Star today. I have some video of him at the trot and canter... and beleive it or not, I think he slowed down a little. It's kind of funny to watch because when I first looked at it I had to double check to make sure it wasn't playing fast LOL... At the end I lost it ( Read more... ) -
A change of attitude can go a long way...
Woke up late this morning. I didn't roll out of bed until about 9. It would have been easy to waste the day, but it was just too perfect out. As it was, I didn't get out of the house until 10:30. Went up to the Barney's to see Taco. Groomed him up while I talked with a woman at the barn that is nursing and injured horse. Poor thing got kicked in ( Read more... )
