Berry Requires the Vet

I was planning to do a different post today, about my happy Christmas. But instead, I spend the morning caring for my constipated horse, so I'm going to tell you about that instead.   We returned from vacation late on Sunday. I went down to check the horses, and they were alive, but their[...]

Treasures from the Parents’ House

On Thanksgiving, I was talking about a course I had taken in college, and decided to look for the course materials. It was like opening a treasure chest. My old bedroom had been converted into a general use room, making it hard to remember how it looked when I was a teenager living there. But I sta[...]

Sweet, Sweet Berrry

I spent some time with Berry, as I often do. I wanted to appreciate our time together, but she decided the best activity we could do is get excited and leap gracefully through the air. Unfortunately she's not particularly graceful, nor athletic. The excitement was short lived. Then all she co[...]

Horses: Unraveling the Mystery Part 2: They Poop

This is well known. Horses poop, and they poop a lot. They have no shame about pooping, and will poop whenever and wherever they feel like. Sometimes they have little quirks - my appaloosa mare will never poop while being ridden. She's too much of a lady to do that. My pony poops in neat little pil[...]

Horses: Unraveling the Mystery Part 1

I feel like there are a lot of misconceptions about horses and horse people in general. There's a belief that if someone has horses, they are wealthy, often stuck up, and just generally unpleasant people. I want to quell the rumor mill and set the record straight.
