A Note About This Blog

I used to be a writer. Unpublished, but a writer just the same. I have several 100,000 word novels sitting on my hard drive. Then I fell off a horse and got a concussion that scrambled my brains really good (yes, I was wearing a helmet.) After that forming a written sentence was very difficult for quite some time. It's still difficult, but at least now generally the sentence structure isn't egregiously flawed. Verbally and written wrong words pop in, I switch words around, and sometimes I make no sense at all. It isn't because I don't have knowledge of grammar and punctuation, but my brain simply can't do it sometimes. Reading this blog you're accepting that there's going to be things that look like typos or make no sense. It's not because I don't proofread, it's because my damaged brain doesn't see what's wrong. I try my best, but things will slip through. I don't need them pointed out, I know they're there, but if I continued to worry about them I wouldn't write at all. I didn't for quite some time. It's painful as a past master of words to use them so badly, but fortunately the words don't seem to mind.

time flies

It's been awhile. Grad school fried my brain and now it's starting back up all over again with dissertation crap. And I was so freaking busy all summer. I realized I haven't shown at all this year, but I've been to five different events as a second shooter. Yay making money instead of spending it! Though, I did end up buying a fabulous hot pink saddle pad at Colorado Horse Park (I couldn't resist! It's my colors!)

Toffee pony spent two months with a trainer and now walk, trots, canters and jumps. The best part? She steers! Well, most of the time she steers. She's still extremely green so sometimes the steering goes out. I've been riding her and I'm very impressed with her. Her arena work still needs, well, work, but riding down the road? She's very well behaved. She looks at stuff, but isn't concerned, just wants to know what it is. I'm really quite sad she's not a bit taller, as I really do enjoy her. I'm planning on taking her to a local show in a month and we'll see how that goes.

 

Naners is rehabbing. We're up to 30 minutes of walk and two minutes of trot. She's also now allowed to go back in the pasture and while we would prefer if she didn't gallop out to the fence line it did her no harm, so we just let her do it. However, she's gotten super grumpy about being saddled, so first we're ruling out back stuff (as it's cheaper) and then we'll look into ulcers. It's never ending with her. 

Ollie would like to report that winter is coming
