Gennyral’s Back To School Clothes

Tue, 07 Oct 2008 09:32:20 -0500

So I have mentioned recently that Genny’s manners seemed to get fried out of him from all that summer sun he is not used to getting. My little monster needs to get those back in a hurry! I have a retired horse, but he is not dead yet so I still

Talk To The Butt

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 09:08:12 -0500

So I have always know that my horse is jealous and possessive of me. After the first 2 weeks of riding him all those years ago he made it very clear that I was his human…it took me a bit longer to decide that he was my horse. I have had him for

Therapeutic Riding…

Sun, 05 Oct 2008 08:13:25 -0500

I am such a sucker. Back in April I was inspired by Jackie of at Regarding Horse’s stories of her volunteering at a local therapeutic riding facility. I don’t talk about it a whole lot on here but I actually gave up a year of my life and

It was mid afternoon by the time the vet came yesterday, thankfully not later because we had to leave at 4.30pm to pick up our much-anticipated takeaway.He was a friendly bloke though and as he had injected 400 sheep that morning for blue tongue I fo

HGM’08: Hyderabad, India: Thoughts and bouquets

Sat, 04 Oct 2008 07:07:13 -0500

Going to India was probably not something within my plans if not for the event. However, it somewhat changed the way I viewed certain things. Frankly, before I went over, I envisaged cockroaches and rats running around on the hotel bedroom floor, fam

So I took a very poor quality (and jumpy) video of the 1st part of Cath Morelli’s freestyle so I could post it here. Looking at it though I found a bunch of other videos so I decided to just post the best ones here. If you have a few minutes t

You HAVE to Watch This!

Sat, 04 Oct 2008 00:05:22 -0500

Have you heard of the show on CMT (Country Music Television) called, My Big Redneck Wedding? It’s totally outrageous and you HAVE to watch it. ‘Nicole from Houston’ sent me a little link about the show urging me to watch at lea

Equus

Fri, 03 Oct 2008 17:52:00 -0500

The most recent production of Peter Schaffer’s Equus was a hard one for me to describe as I was leaving the theater. Usually, one is able to say “That was this” or “That was that” but… there were so many goods and bads in the show, that I
