The last 6 weeks have been pretty much a whirlwind for me. I have been riding Plezant more, which take a lot of time. My heart horse Frisby, well, we had to put him down. His Cushing’s was worsening, and he got to the point where it hurt him to walk. So all he would …

Well, after many years of searching for the perfect hoof pick, and using others that I thought worked great, I have finally found the ultimate hoof pick. And it costs $2.49! I think that’s worthy of a review, what do …
Well, it’s happened, winter finally came. I knew it would get here eventually. Why does it seem just before we are all about ready to pull our hair out in anticipation of better weather the below freezing temperatures show up? It’s inevitable I guess.

The last 6 weeks have been pretty much a whirlwind for me. I have been riding Plezant more, which take a lot of time. Frisby was recently diagnosed with PPID (Fancy name for Cushings) which means changing everything I am feeding him, and September at work is extremely busy. Probably the busiest month of the …
