Summer Slog?

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

Hi yall, I have to admit that I am in the middle of summer doldrums here. I sort of recognized that I was feeling a little burned out only yesterday, when I realized that I needed to pack for the YR event. My friend, Michele Pestl, came today for a cross country school and she put a voice to this feeling. Getting sick of going to competitions every other weekend and feeling that not a lot was gettingdone at home! I feel particularly torn about this because my season on Taukalot has barely started. He and I have been off to a rough start this year with shoe problems, then a hock repair, now a fall at Rebecca and me limping around. I only now, the last 10 days, feel that he and I are ready to do anything and properly prepared to go to an event. So, where is my motivation? Where is my gung-ho?

I think that I would be MUCH more inclined to go to a show if it were a two or one day event. I am very disappointed that Area VII seems to be stuck on the 3 day affair, which is really 4 days because you arrive on Thursday. (more…)

Boatless BBQ (a little late)

Friday, April 30th, 2010

But there is still reason to celebrate about the bridge. The 3 month repair has ended! and the 5 ton weight limit sign that has been up since last October IS GONE!!

This means that Jordan’s apartment and the barn can finally get some hot water now that the propane trucks can drive over. We can get a new load of shavings by the big truck. We were going to get it with one of the Ford trucks and off loading ourselves, a messy, sneezy afair.  So, to celebrate, we are reinventing the Boatless BBQ for Friday evening. Borders and students are welcome to come starting after work sometime. 6 ish?

And while we are rejoycing in lovely things, here is a new video I posted of De Novo. Kinda runs in theme with the previous post about young dressage horses. De Novo video.
