So on my list of things that need attention regarding Sir Woods is his belly. He’s Type-A, he’s a worrier, he’s a sensitive sort. So next Tuesday we have an appointment to get him scoped for Ulcers. This pleases me a great deal.
On the day to day front, things are going swimmingly. The progress we’ve [...]

When it rains it pours

Alright, maybe when it dribbles it trickles? Regardless here is an additional update.
Thanks to my friend Jen and her generosity and selfless volunteering prowess we went Schooling at Loch Moy yesterday. First let me say that Jen was planning on tootling around with her lovely CANTER mare Cally… Liza was not going to let that happen.
Jen [...]

I suck!
Father it has been 14,000 years since my last entry. Furthermore in the 14,000 years I’m sure there’s a bunch of fun sinny stuff I’m failing to mention.
So, it’s summer. As a psychologist for an urban school district that means I get my summers off. My plan was to try to stay out of [...]
Plantation Report!

Woody won the dressage! I almost fell over! It wasn’t a perfect test, but it was forward and the judge apparently liked forward. The other tests I guess? Not so forward. I’m guessing they also didn’t blow a lead, but he blew the lead going forward?
There was a rail in Stadium because they were jumping [...]
I don’t want to jinx it, the Sequel…

Clip-Flop-Clip-Flop…
That was the sound of me bringing Woods in Sunday morning… Missing a shoe.
Liza had three horses running (the show farrier tacked a show back on, so Woody makes Three. YAY!) and I swear having three horses running on a one day is enough to keep ya’ busy. We didn’t REALLY stop moving until we got [...]
Not that we’re going anywhere, but if we were…

It might be a good idea to have Liza ride Woods for the three days leading up to his first outing at Novice. It would also be neat if there was video and pics of the jump school.
If we WERE going somewhere, and those things DID happen, I imagine it would look kinda like this.
Woody’s [...]

But it is getting close, so maybe I’ll say that it’s POSSIBLE that Woody will be making his Novice Debut at Waredaca in two weekends.
I will blame my silence over the past few weeks on that. I mean I’m so excited, there’s NO WAY I couldn’t mention it (IF it weren’t all a hypothetical, which [...]

First, I want to give props to Marlborough Unrec Horse Trials. I sent them my concerns about Woody’s XC time penalties and they handled it wonderfully.
Obviously, since it was past the 30 minute protest window they couldn’t change the standings, but they did change the website and offered me some support in return for thier [...]
Woody Leaves the Barn and the Donkey Behind to go XC Schooling

NERDS!!!!!
We headed out for some XC schooling yesterday and I couldn’t have been MORE pleased with how the day went… yes even WITH me busting ass and falling off.
As Jess and I were discussing my inability to defy gravity we decided sometimes you need to bust your ass to get it in gear. I fell into [...]
The Phantom Menace Abscess has passed
Posted in Uncategorized on April 1, 2009 | 1 Comment »
And the roadblock to our spring schedule and been replaced with a Mini-Donkey.
Woody’s undoing.
So Woods was out of work for about a month due to the Phantom Menace Abscess. But Magical farrier came out last monday and he’s right as rain. He was sound but still moving a little stiff through his back (So Allie [...]
