Blog description:I live in Richmond and have 2 horses - TB/Connemarra cross, Harry, and a TB/App cross, Almost Annie. 2 dogs - Llewellyn Setter, Ellie, and Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Millie. 1 fantastic barn cat (inherited from a barrista at Starbucks), Ria. Also 1 party animal - my daughter - she's testing me, but it would be a bit difficult to send her back now. Maybe I'll get lucky and snatch a cowboy! (Every Eastern girl's dream :-D) Email me - I'd love to hear from you even if you're not a cowboy.

Hey guys....¿ I need some help!¿ Today I agreed to help with the youth program during this year's VA horse council meeting.¿ There is very little space for many horse related activities.¿ Last year they had a guy come in with a¿"fake steer" and they had a roping clinic.¿ That was a huge success.¿¿ Tough act to follow.¿ A vaulting¿(which is done on a longe line) clinic was suggested.¿ The age group is 9 - 16.¿ Any suggestions?¿ HELP!!!¿ :-0
Hey Guys! I had a novel question posed to me today by my bored daughter.¿ What could she do.¿ When I was a kid we had a "what to do when there's nothing to do list."¿ Kept us out of trouble.¿ Any suggestions for her....

(her favorite) go shopping.¿ 11. give the dog a bath.¿ 12.¿ Exercise.¿ 13.¿ get another job.¿ 15.¿ go visit an elderly neighbor.¿ 16.¿ climb a tree.¿ 17. grocery shop.¿ 18.¿ take up golf.¿ 19. take up fishing.¿ 20. wash windows.¿ 21.¿ write a story.¿ 23 vaccuum.¿ 24. clean out your closet and take old clothes to consignment or goodwill.¿ 25.¿ quit complaining!¿ Please feel free to add to this list - as she feels that there's still nothing for her to do. Thanks Annie
Hello Guys, Last year one of my horses developed laminitis. The cost of this devastating condition isn't just dollars and cents. It is also physical, emotional and time consuming. Some great people worked on this little horse with some pretty innovative ideas. I kept a journal during this time and have thought about posting it as it may be helpful to someone else going through the same thing. I would be interested to read other's comments especially about the big question as to when to give up. I'll start with a brief history of him. Then make daily or weekly posts of his progress. The time line will be sped up considerably, but founder is a painfully slow process, so these posts will take some time. I can get rather wordy, so you guys will have to let me know when to back off. By the way his name is Harry Hotspur. aka: Harry, Hairball, Harry Bear, Harry Kari, Prince Harry?. He was born May 5, 2001. Any interest? Annie
What I hate about winter. Frozen water troughs (don't use de-icers), but do use a hammer and neoprene gloves. Frozen ground - for obvious reasons. COLD - too many ugly clothes. Blankets, though they do make grooming a lot easier. Cold hands and feet - combated with the activated charcoal hand/toe warmers. Can be purchased at the grocery store for @ $1.50. They only last about 5 hours, but well worth the cost. Hats - make my hair look terrible once they're off. Fogged up glasses. Horses acting stupid.
What I love about winter. Christmas, no flies, frozen manure - makes stall cleaning a breeze.
What are your love/hates of winter, and what do you do about them?
