Washed the truck windows and interior today and my PT got a bath. I spent some time in the morning hanging out with Jerry who is camping out in the roundpen while his new shelter is being built. He’s not one bit happy about it either. He distroyed a plastic tub I put hay in [...]

The Day After
Posted in Blog, Jerry on September 20, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I’m recovering nicely the day after taking my first spill off of Jerry. I’ve never been bucked off a horse. I’ve fallen off a couple of times but never actually had the pleasure of being bounced and tossed on the ground like I was yesterday. I landed on my a rock, my phone (which probably [...]
Week End

On Thursday Bettina and I went to try Patty’s trick for getting your horse to stop pawing while tied. Jerry has gotten much better at tying but still has this habit. The trick is to get a drink (we had wine) and your cigarettes and a pile of pebbles. You sit and relax and each [...]
A moment to ponder the view

Sometimes I feel as though I’m looking out the window of a train, moving so fast I can barely distinguish objects we pass. This is how my life seems when I’m doing so many things. My life is full and sometimes overflowing and spilling onto the floor, giving me another mess to clean up. Everybody [...]
Summer buzz

I’m really too busy to write this, but since I have a moment letting my coffee cool down, here’s an update.
That big job contract that I was waiting for came in and I’ve also been super busy with small site updates and someone’s site that keeps getting hacked because it’s on an insecure host with [...]
Weekness

So it was a long and interesting week. I started out Monday and Tuesday getting a lot of billed work done. On Tuesday Gloria and I took Jerry on a hike and had a lot of fun. On Wednesday morning I got a call that Jerry wasn’t looking so good and wasn’t eating and spent [...]

The weather is really feeling like summer this week. Paul worked in the yard over the weekend laying cross ties. I washed the truck and horse trailer and got the house clean for a BBQ on Sunday with friends. This week so far has been unusually not busy. I’m working on some pro bono projects [...]
Beautiful Morning
Posted in Blog, Jerry on June 4, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
It’s a beautiful morning. High gray clouds bringing cool air and mellowing the normally blinding sun this time of day. The sun is most definitely hotter and brighter at this altitude with little atmosphere and no smog or haze to disperse it. This morning was a nice break from that, felt almost like north coast [...]

Paul’s doing much better now. He went to the ENT for the 4th time and they finally correctly diagnosed his ear infection as a fungal not a bacterial infection. They had been treating him with antibiotics which just made the fungal infection stronger. Now they have him on the right stuff and he’s already feeling [...]
Jerry<=Lazy Horse

I just watched the chapter on the Success, Impulsion Video called Lazy Horse and wow! That totally confirms what I’ve found works with Jerry! I love that because sometimes I’m not sure if I’m doing the right thing (so many people say you shouldn’t let your horse eat grass, etc, etc. ) but these techniques [...]
