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...

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...

Heartstrings : May 2012
http://89heartstrings.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 21, 2012. I started Coro on Tri-Hist on Saturday, and yesterday afternoon he had a slightly runny nose but no wheezing, flaring or fluttering. Truly like night and day. Could it really be that easy? Gray dressage horse, photo courtesy of JustChaos). And more like this, a return to his roots (in fact he felt closer to gaiting yesterday than he has in a long time - his little legs were just a flurry while I glided along in the saddle):. Tuesday, May 15, 2012. Sunday, May 13, 2012. On this Mothe...

Heartstrings : July 2012
http://89heartstrings.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 30, 2012. Clinic for a Cause. On Saturday I attended a benefit clinic at my trainer's barn in Peyton. All of the proceeds went to Ruby Ranch Horse Rescue. She is not under saddle yet but is going to make someone a wonderful partner. E. was sweet enough to go with me and take lots of pictures. This ramp wobbled, like a horse teeter-totter! How awesome is she? Wednesday, July 25, 2012. Coro at 3 years old, 1992. Coro at 23 years old, 2012. Thursday, July 12, 2012. Thursday, July 5, 2012. MVR E...
