It is a difficult thing to have. Today I deadlifted after not doing it for a little while. I was excited to get back to it, as it is one of my favorite lifts. But I had to take it easy to ensure that I could do more in the not too distant future. I… Read more »

Title Generator?
I need one. Titles seem to be the most difficult thing for me. Even when I have bad rides, it is harder to come up with a title than anything else. Today was a great day. The barn was super crowded because Duke was there to trim feet and we were having a little end… Read more »
Nice Weather
At least for the past two days. The middle of the week was down right yucky. I ended up giving Bear three days off because of the weather, and just general tireds on my part. In fact, it was a little hard to get to the barn Friday afternoon because the week felt so long… Read more »
A Tired Bear
Today was warm and Robin was swamped with work, so I went out to the barn on my own. Bear was doing his best to bury his head in the bale and get all the good stuff. He must have been at it for a while, because he pooped four times today. Lately he has… Read more »
A Little Loping
Very little loping, actually. I said a few rides ago that I wanted to get Bear moving out a little more. It is easy to come up with excuses for not doing it. Mine are that he got sore last time, and then I got a new saddle and didn’t want to push things too… Read more »
Still Good
The first ride in the saddle was not some kind of one-time experience. If anything, Bear was moving and feeling even better today. And he was equally as stiff coming out of the pasture today as he was yesterday.. Robin and I got to the barn early so we could beat any other potential weekend… Read more »
Another Saddle
As I mentioned a little bit ago, I’ve been worrying about the fit of Bear’s saddle for quite some time now. So I decided to just get a new one and see how it goes. I found a great deal on a used McCall wade. It felt like a good move to make, because if… Read more »
Another Birthday Ride
This time mine. Yesterday I turned 31. Things are now slowing down at work and I was able to sneak away early in the afternoon. It was a little cold and damp out, so we had some tea before heading out to the barn. And we also got our first video from Giddy Up Flix. … Read more »
Back Inside
I can’t even remember when our last indoor ride was. I know we had a brief indoor ride just before one of the ferrier visits, but I think that was back in the early summer. This is definitely a good thing. I enjoy the fact that we have an indoor arena, but I also like… Read more »
The Comfort Zone
We got back into town over the weekend and I had a busy few days with work, so I couldn’t get out to the barn. I was also a little tired from all the travel, so I didn’t really mind. Today was a nice afternoon, though. Sunny and not too cold. We arrived and I… Read more »
