I just saw this cartoon on Facebook. It says it’s by Kellie Lewis. I laughed and thought – how true.

Hay distruction
November 26, 2016
Black Friday morning Rich and I picked up a loaf of hay, took it home, and filled my hay shed. Yea.
Later we had a pet emergency and had to rush Ash (Rich’s dog) to the vet. I was in the process of moving ponies around so I stuck them into the field that the hay shed is in.
This morning I went out and found Simon in the act of mass hay distraction.
It took a little work to get cleaned up (and every hay barrel and net is currently topped off). And the ponies are moved into a different field.

Trail report – oct 23, 2016
November 25, 2016
Last month I took both dogs and Simon and we did a fun ride leaving from the massanutten visitor center. It involved a lot of rock climbing for Simon, and I found myself dismounted and crawling back down some of these rock climbs using both feet and both hands with Simon lumbering along behind me like a mountain goat. It did take us to an amazing view!

Mid-Atlantic #6 2016

MA6 was held at the PG Equestrian center in mid October.
And oh my goodness, it was so long ago I hardly remember what to say about it.
It was an awesome last team competition if the year!

Saddle repairs – Martins Harness Shop
November 23, 2016
This past weekend I went to tack up Poe and found some damage to his saddle. It’s a well used older Stubben and repair work tends to be a necessity every so often. Luckily I live near one of the best saddle repair places around.
About a year ago he replaced the billits on this saddle. A few years ago he custom made me an Australian girth with elastic on it. He has stitched up an array of straps and I have even brought him friends much loved tack for work.
This time I needed a patch put on the underside of one knee roll and a stirrup leather keeper replaced.
I dropped my saddle off on Monday and Tuesday morning I got a call that it was ready for pick up.
Bravo Martins Harness Shop in Dayton. Excellent work, great customer service, reasonable prices, and quick turn around.
