		<title>2009-07-06 Arguing with a colt</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ I have this problem.  It’s summer, and it’s getting really hot in the afternoons.  Too hot to ride.  I spent about fifteen minutes on Hickory one afternoon last week and came home with the next best thing to heat stroke.  No telling what that little ride did to him. I’ve been putting the horses out [...]]]></description>

		<title>A lovely moment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yes, the colt broke the trailer today.  Somehow, he decided he needed to be on the other side of the trailer neck hitch thing &#8211; I&#8217;ve changed the panels around, and we&#8217;re parking the trailer behind the barn now &#8211; so I&#8217;ve got this little isolation stall  . . . with a trailer in the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Riding</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After Sophie&#8217;s mental breakdown on the lane, I realized that I was going to have to do some tuning up of everybody.  I&#8217;m not that great a rider, and the idea scared me.  So I started out taking Sophie for walks, taking her down there by hand.  At first, she was skittery.  But I learned [...]]]></description>

		<title>Catching up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t written because I&#8217;ve been doing my head off.  I have to post the thing about our first ride down Boardman&#8217;s Lane this spring and Sophie coming un-glued, because that freaked me out: my gentle, boringest, most trustworthy horse freaking out about &#8211; what?  A ditch?  An electric fence buzz?  And running backward across [...]]]></description>

		<title>And spring is finally sprunging &#8211;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[  Here is a story for you: Chapter One Sophie, first day of being in the jail—and suddenly attacked by a goose. Then Saturday Morning, before we went to Burgers, I spent three hours working this brave little tractor for the first time in the arena. (Sorry that there are no pictures of this—hard to [...]]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;m just sayin -</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t write here a lot. That&#8217;s because nobody reads here a lot. I started this blog in hopes that my experiences with my horses might help somebody else in their own efforts not only to love, but to serve and care for an equine companion. I am not much of a trainer, but I [...]]]></description>

		<title>In case you were wondering &#8211;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is what it’s like to have horses: You get up in the morning. (Some people do this earlier than I do. Let me just explain that I get up WAY earlier than I would if I didn’t know people (horses) were out there in the frost starving. And though I may lie abed until [...]]]></description>

		<title>One sick baby at a time.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While Scooter is in hospital with pneumonia, I do not need a sick Tiger.  But he kept lying down yesterday, as we spent all day long putting a floor in the tackroom, and extending the walls up to the ceiling in a bid to keep the arena/hay dust out of everything we own.  Char worked, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Finally &#8211; the season starts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[  I have been dying to put the horses out on the grass.  But frankly, there hasn&#8217;t been any.  Usually, I start the season&#8217;s feeding in the third week of April.  But not this year.  Our winter left prodigious amounts of snow on the mountain, but the spring brought no rain.  Not for over a [...]]]></description>
