Just a Few Hurdles




After riding for an hour, I went back to the trailer to warm and unstiffen up a bit. Luke and I shared a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and oatmeal cookie. He really like the sandwich! Not so much the cookie.

An uneventful Valentine’s Day, which was part of the problem. A tough day not to think about lost love.“Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye old friendI can’t make you stayI can’t spend another ten yearsWishing you would anywayHow the sky turns to fire against a telephone wireAnd even I’m getting tired of useless desires” Java and I went…
As part of my Lift My Spirits and Feel Good List, I, of course, wanted to write about horses. I’m going to do this in a couple installments because I want to start at the beginning, when I was a child in the suburbs, completely obsessed with horses. I would sit in front of the…
“That’s life, that’s what all the people say. You’re riding high in April, Shot down in May But I know I’m gonna change that tune, When I’m back on top, back on top in June.” While taking Java for a walk, I saw an elderly woman standing at her trailer with her horse. I was…
Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I’ll try again tomorrow. — Mary Anne Radmacher Too bad this photo turned out blurry. Could have been a great photo of my hard drinking dog. I’m not sure why she likes to sit like this. It…
In another month, it will be a year since my Willow dog died. I spent all last summer trying to save her. I was reminded again recently of the pain of losing a pet member of the family. It made me think of one aspect of losing Willow that I’ve never heard other people talk…
I’ve been dancing around this horse trailer driving thing for years. But I swear, this is going to be the year that I become an expert at hitching, backing, and all around maneuvering this monster.

You are really learning a lot…I’m just sorry the lessons are hard ones…at least they look that way to me. You are pretty tough girrl!
I love going to the park to see all the dogs and their people. And the eagle…what a bonus!
You are a VERY tough cookie…and so independent these days. I give you lots of credit. Turned out to be a good day after all.
A great day! You overcame some setbacks that would have defeated many people (injury, Java running off, trailer) but went out and enjoyed your trails anyway.
The bald eagle flyby sounds really cool!
Sounds like you had a great day, even with the trailer mishap, I am so proud of you and how you were able to handle it!!
I love the pictures of Java looking outside, she is so cute!
I was beginning to think I was the only one with mud, but I see you are dealing with it too! I hate what rain does, especially when horses are involved. Yuck.
definitely a kiss me o radiant sun (Son) day for you:)
amen

So glad you got to enjoy the sunshine. We had it grace us about half the day today.
Have a great week!!!
Sounds nice, despite the frustrations early on.
A few less hurdles would be nice. Especially with the bum leg.
Hope your knee is better.. you had a bad morning..but hey the afternoon sounded great! There are lots of things you can learn to do! I think you should find some sweet guy who loves horses and dogs and cook for him..but short of taking out an ad in the paper..I have no idea how you will meet that guy..although we have a couple of bachelors up here that would qualify! 🙂
