G Ima Starr FA. Feed and Tack Stores. Saddle Fitting and Boot Repair. I finally have a new exercise to share with you. I am not sure that it is a useful one for broke ponies, but for a green bean like Izzy, it worked like magic! The Loop de Loop exercise. It's great to have JL there as. Eyes on the ground. Right now, it's mostly about having him accept the contact and move forward in a circle while maintaining the rhythm. While he is a hot mess right now, what I like is that each day there is discern...

G Ima Starr FA. Feed and Tack Stores. Saddle Fitting and Boot Repair. Izzy's Leg: Update 14. Unfortunately, this "ten days to heal" wound is taking a wee bit longer than even Dr. Tolley predicted. Oh, it wasn't him who suggested it would heal in ten days; that was the trainer (the responsible party) and her vet who made that prediction. Welcome back, my old frienemies. A much simpler bandage than before. This bandage will also need to be redone every other day. We're going to try this bandage for ten...

G Ima Starr FA. Feed and Tack Stores. Saddle Fitting and Boot Repair. In the Heat of Summer. I don't want to complain about the heat, and truly, I try not to, but we have finally reached a temperature where even I won't ride. I ride every day; I enjoy it. It doesn't matter if it's cold, hot as heck, or blowing hard enough to make even Dorothy check the sky. But this, this is just too much. He immediately sidled up to Speedy and suggested they run off. To where he didn't know, but things were not safe...

The Rider ~ No Longer Fiction
http://www.nolongerfiction.com/p/the-rider.html
Fiction is to the grown man what play is to the child; it is there that he changes the atmosphere and tenor of his life.". I'm a pretty normal twenty-something IT professional who works downtown but has an intense love for the country. I didn't start riding until I was 14, and my short Dressage career came to an end when I headed off to college. Five years later, after graduation, Fiction came into my life. We dabbled in Eventing but eventually returned to my roots in Dressage. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

G Ima Starr FA. Feed and Tack Stores. Saddle Fitting and Boot Repair. Izzy Throws a Temper Tanrum. Not to panic - nobody got hurt and no one's confidence got rocked. In fact, hopefully. Confidence grew, but I won't know that for a while. I had a lesson on Monday evening where Izzy threw a forty-five minute temper tantrum. It was actually kind of funny, and I found myself laughing at his antics. Even JL had to grin at the noises he was making. Presented to ME for staying with him. When he flung his head f...

G Ima Starr FA. Feed and Tack Stores. Saddle Fitting and Boot Repair. Hey hey, Cinderella, what's the story all about. I got a funny feeling we missed a page or two somehow. Ohh-ohhhh, Cinderella, maybe you could help us out. Does the shoe fit you now. Speedy G has definitely decided that his alter ego is Cinderella. I've owned this horse, or rather he's owned me, for more than seven years, and we've never had so many shoeing issues until this past year. He's clearly pining for some glass slippers. I sha...
