No suggestions yet, but she's lovely! Very balanced looking, and quite the hunk of horse! Congrats!

Roast beef, roast potatoes, brussells sprouts, gravy. Blackberry and apple crumble for desert. Which has apparently overflowed it's dish according to the smoke and smell coming from my oven...

Today's lesson focused on straightness, and adjustability at the canter. Putting together the pieces to make the second level work come together and build a foundation for changes. Physically and mentally quite stretching, working on that school canter to medium canter and back transition, on a circ...

If he's doing it out of joie de vie you need to tell him to tone it down... This is not a time to be overly sensitive about his feelings, just get his head up. I generally tend to pull harder on one rein than the other to throw them off kilter, and then keep them moving forward. I dislike bucking in...

"like!"

To answer some questions... M&M, those are guard hairs. The quills are in a layer closer to the body, and in addition they are covered in coarse hair. We have on big guy who we think is this one's dad who has a completely ridiculous head of hair. He's called Donald, for obvious reasons... Tuffy,...

let's try that again!

We do love a tasty apple core:

That would just drive me into a screaming tantrum.

Go have that nap now. Sod 'em. They can now wait for you. You are not the maid.

But yeah, I'd stay off the sauce for now if it were me, it might turn off my filter.

Moutaineer

Ah, I love that, Lorilu!

Moutaineer

How funny, West. I'm making shepherds pie this evening too, for the first time in ages. I found some ground lamb so it should be yummy.

Moutaineer

If you agreed to the terms of inspection and potential seizure of an improperly stored weapon when you were issued your gun license, I can't see how it would be an issue.

Moutaineer

Too many jumps in the way for me this evening. Must be patient until Friday, when the hunters leave for their championship show...

Moutaineer

Sausages, taters, mess o'greens, eventually. Rode this evening, so here it is 8.45 and I'm just cooking now...

I will warn you that my DH often puts a dab of Superglue in these when he does them up for me so they don't come undone...

So Quinta, how were the potatoes?

Moutaineer

So, okay, your example of the driving too slowly, I might want to do that to people every day on my commute but I know that in my heart, this is wrong. And I wouldn't do it. (I might however, flip said woman off if she is plopping along in the fast lane) My hope then is that she is not the angry pe...

I am originally from England where we have very stringent gun control laws. I now live in Utah... I grew up on a farm. We had shotguns and hunting rifles. Our guns had to be licensed and registered with the local police station and had to be kept in a locked cabinet. After Hungerford, the police wou...

Moutaineer

Ok, I've never done it before, but I'll play!

Moutaineer

Hah, Kathy K!

I will have to pick some brains about smokers sooner or later... We were gifted one by our enthusiastic son. We've managed to smoke a total of one marinated chicken breast in it so far

It took us a while to find a safe place out of the ever-present wind to set it up.

Me... 54, a transplanted Brit living up a dirt road on a mountainside in UT (it's a long story!) DH and I own a cabinet and closet company, and I am the chief designer. My education and avocation and original career is as a painter and printmaker, and one day in the not too distant future I intend t...

Enjoy the opera! If you've never seen Tosca, I advise you to take a hankie.

After years of practice, I'm largely opera-proof. No dying animals.

Well, I'm afraid I bottled out... he's really quite happy where he is and it just seems like tempting fate when everything is going well. Especially at this time of year when everyone is feeling frisky and ripping shoes off left, right and centre. I will reconsider in the spring...

Hi there!

Moutaineer

They look fabulous, Shirine!

Moutaineer

welcome!

Moutaineer

Yeah, the scallops were pretty darned good. Marinated in fresh ginger and soy with a spot of brown sugar, wrapped in thin sliced organic bacon, and grilled...Mmm.

Moutaineer

So, it seems to be gone now. How sad. Onwards we go...

Moutaineer

Scallops, somehow. Wrapped in bacon, maybe, or with some fresh ginger? With baby bok choy and probably CSA spuds. And I have chicken stock.in the making for a butternut squash soup.

Moutaineer

Still working on straightness. My homework this week is a shoulder in at the canter. Now there's an interesting exercise... As a side goal, I have to get comfortable sitting the trot on this big, bouncy boy, and stop dumbing it down. That is going to require me doing some serious core work, but with...

Moutaineer

Probably about 4 acres. Lots of room to get away from each other. Highly visible from the entire farm.

Moutaineer

Typo, embarrassingly enough... I thought about changing it for here, but reckoned that would be even more confusing!

Moutaineer

I guess I'll get this kicked off! So, I have had my new horse since February, He lives at a very nice little boarding barn. His current living situation is turn out all day in his own grassy paddock, in at night--reverse that in the summer. His paddock is bounded on two sides by the mare pasture, bu...
