This day at the barn was so chock full of good stuff I don’t know where to start, I mean besides with that picture, cause if you have a picture like that you’d be insane not to lead with it.
First, My mom came out to the barn with me, which ALWAYS makes me happy. She’s the bees [...]

Today Woody and I continued, what was supposed to be, the beautification process. Most of this involved more pulling of his mane. I have come to a very important realization.
Like plucking my eyebrows, I am not to be trusted when pulling a horse’s mane. See, when I pluck my own eyebrows, I sort of space [...]

But i did (of course) take some more pictures when I went out to see His Gimpiness yesterday. He’s still really sore, but remains in good spirits. He has the sweetest attitude.

But the cool kids aren’t shoving him in lockers when they see him shuffling down the hall

And if that action involves being nuzzled by an OTTB, all the better.

First things first, all of our horses are quarantined and fecal [...]
