I don't take being grounded well.  I mope.  I pout.  I whine.  I generally make myself a nuisance to those poor souls who for some unkno...

They always find something. Going in, I knew Solo was struggling with some jumps and in a test ride last night, refusing to lift his back ...

Only if it comes with a cape. I guess if you are not as big a dork as me, you won't get that reference though. But I DO get another tr...

Who, me?? What stories to tell? How about when Solo decided to exit his stall, sans halter, sans me, Friday night & trot briskly ...

The rumbly truck is home!  With a new tie rod end and freshly packed wheel bearings, it is ready to resume Solo-hauling duty with renewed vi...

Why? Oh, because the universe is unkind! Like I don't already have enough to juggle.  This is why --> What the hell is that?  ...

Happy Valentine's Day!  (Or #%@#&! Valentine's Day, as the case may be) Red Number One: Love. Love for the horses (of cours...

Yes, we went to visit our good friend again today as Solo showed no improvement when asked to engage his hind end after a week and a half of...

I am having to make this my mantra. Because if I go any further ahead of myself than one day, I start flipping myself out and have to refer...

Operation Solo Rehab is on Day 3. It's hard to not ask him to be round and bendy; it takes me forcing myself to just get up off his bac...

I kick myself for not thinking of the chiropractic thing earlier. I unloaded Solo at Dr. Bob's clinic (having already given all my mon...

All bummed out and nowhere to go. Solo did not feel any better on our test ride today. Which means our problems are probably not inflamma...

I am hoping the warming weekends mean that winter is moving on out. If it's not, I may use the pitchfork in a forceful manner to encour...

I spoke to Dr. Bob again on Tuesday.  We agreed given the sudden onset of Solo's discomfort and the fact that he wasn't "warmin...

Mine's up.  Solo raised his hoof too. The chill outside doesn't help. It's a sharp, clear cold. The stars are harsh pinprick...

Cross country day promised to be many things.  Solo & I didn't run till after lunch, so that meant I got to spend all morning watchi...

So I may have mentioned that Solo is out of shape a bit. And I may have mentioned that we had a great ride for a couple of hours yesterday....

Not too long ago, I took Solo in to Dr. Bob to have his Coggins pulled.  Dr. Bob LOVES to talk, so inevitably we end up chatting about 14 di...

Sorry, SillyPony, we did not perform show jumping with such brilliant finesse that the judge decided that all the other riders sucked and ga...

It's always a comedy of errors with me.  But I guess if it wasn't this would be a really boring blog. I have cleaned enough tack f...
