Heartstrings : December 2012
http://89heartstrings.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 12, 2012. Dani and I had a nice short ride last night, our coldest yet. The barn was spangled with icicles and lights. I found her cozied up in her blanket - I have never met a horse that lets you love on them so much when they are laying down. We had to give a trial saddle a final spin, and I have decided to purchase it - an older Albion K2 Legend. It seems to fit her nicely and puts me in a good position. Young horse 30 degrees new saddle? It went splendidly. What a good mare. Coro ...

Heartstrings : Getting Fuzzy
http://89heartstrings.blogspot.com/2013/12/getting-fuzzy.html
Tuesday, December 3, 2013. Coro would like to remind everyone of the inherent risk of equine activities. Is usually waiting in the car, and true to her hypervigilant Border Collie genes, I don't think she takes her eyes off of me, or the last place she saw me, for the entire time. The rest of the week. For the first time in the new place and the first time in over three months? Calls it). I took a couple deep breaths before attempting my first awkward launch onto his back, and Coro (predictably) snor...

Redheaded Endurance: Tack Update: Sensation Treeless Saddle (mostly)
http://redheadedendurance.blogspot.com/2014/06/tack-update-sensation-treeless-saddle.html
WE'VE MOVED TO www.redheadedendurance.com! Friday, June 20, 2014. Tack Update: Sensation Treeless Saddle (mostly). Scrappy in Sensation with Sensation pad. Underside of Sensation pad, post ride. See all those crazy seams? Regrowing hair spots at the shoulders goop pre-ride, that's why it looks mussed, but quite even sweat mark in person, with good spine clearance shown for a super sweaty horse. Sensation with Haf pad with firm foam inserts. Oh, you thought you could walk? Current incarnation of tack, wit...

Heartstrings : September 2012
http://89heartstrings.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 24, 2012. Coro was set fee this weekend! Notchee may get her stitches out today and hopefully join him in the pasture soon. I can't describe how wonderful it was to see him standing way out in the middle of sixteen acres, and come running toward me when I called him. This horse is so dear to me. Wednesday, September 19, 2012. Oh, so much to write about - it's overwhelming! Notchee and Coro were moved to their new home on the prairie a few weeks ago. It almost. Coro sampling the pasture.

Heartstrings : October 2013
http://89heartstrings.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 22, 2013. I've started a second blog. Devoted to my new dog, I hope all of you will follow along! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I blog about life with my two rescue dogs - a Border-Jack from Arkansas and a Potcake from the Bahamas - at http:/ myrubicondays.blogspot. View my complete profile. MVR El Corazón is a Paso Fino gelding in his twenties who lives on the Colorado plains. He enjoys trotting, checking pockets for treats, napping in the mud and having his forelock brushed. When I saw t...

Heartstrings : January 2013
http://89heartstrings.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 11, 2013. It's always fun to drive up to the barn and see the Tall Bay greet me in one of her pretty "outfits". Today started out in polka-dots, but I left her in heavy floral since tomorrow's predicted high is all of 16 degrees. We had a mini-lesson, more work on my crookedness, waist and knees, some leg yielding, "posting hula" (post three times left, three times center, three times right, repeat), and some elementary Spanish Walk: Dani is in the pawing-the-ground-on-cue stage. Means "c...

Heartstrings : June 2012
http://89heartstrings.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 28, 2012. Why He Is The Best. I just entered Coro in a FB contest for Trail Blazer magazine asking for a few lines of why your senior trail horse is unique - my aunt saw and her entry is far better than mine, so sweet. Monday, June 25, 2012. Thursday, June 21, 2012. Here are the rest of my favorites. I've been keeping quiet about the new mare here, but the vet check is in the morning and she could very well be in my barn by tomorrow afternoon. This blog may need a re-design :). Desdemona w...

Redheaded Endurance: February 2015
http://redheadedendurance.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
WE'VE MOVED TO www.redheadedendurance.com! Friday, February 27, 2015. Not Bad for 2.5 Months. While I'm certainly not 100% satisfied with the results of my 50 at Mojave XP. Here's the pro photos from Gold Rush Shuffle 55, November 2014. Credit to Baylor/Gore. Please note I am grateful to all ride photographers and in no way blame them for my horse and I being mad strugglers in photos. Tis the nature of it! Me: We're gonna die in a hole! Scrappy: Grin and bear it- towards camp! Grooving along some miles in.
