I've been asked how I get the horses to stand still, with no line (liberty), and walk around them. When I first started working with Mr. Peabody, it was winter, it was cold, and I had to pee often. We worked in the indoor very early AM and I was all alone. I would tie Mr. ...
A few weeks back, I was tooling around the internet and wandered on to Veganville (make no bones about it we're Vegan), a blog owned by a long lost friend from 25 years ago. She was having a contest in the sodium is your friend series, that involved The ...
About a year ago, Mr. Peabody spent his off time figuring out the latch on his stall. He spent hours lipping it, and tugging it, and banging it around. One day a few weeks later, the stall door was open and I assumed I had neglected to lock it. The next day it was open ...
I planned to write this morning about Mr. Peabody opening his own latched stall. I have video and it is pretty cool. But, when I checked my e-mail, I found out that Mr. P is in a national on-line magazine. Now, I'm sure you're thinking, of course Mr. P is in Horse & Rider, ...
By the time my son turned 3, I was bored out of my mind. Diapers, formula, bottles, that damn purple dinosaur, more diapers; I had had it. As soon as he was capable of lifting 6 pounds, we spent our Sunday mornings bowling. We did not use bumpers and both of us had lots of ...
It was a little too mucky to ride last weekend but I wanted to do something with Mr. Peabody. I had been working on backing Mr. P into his stall before the winter, so I thought as long I was in Francis Ford Coppola mode, I'd set the camera up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVtYFGW7-ac We did do a trial run ...
Mr. Peabody is mad that he is left behind.
I was on my way down to Florida for a quick 2 day photography assignment and I decided on The Yes Album (1971) as my music of choice on the plane. The latest issue of Horse & Rider in hand (4 years ...
Mr. Peabody got fat. By human terms he would be morbidly obese, in layman's terms, he's just a big tub. He's been on a diet (along with poor Leroy) since August. I cut way back on his grain; he gets the total of 1/2 a soup can (Campbell's soup can) of Nutrena LiteBalance ...
I was going to ride yesterday but when I did a quick walk around I realized how much ice was under the snow. Instead I went out and did some ground work. Side passing over a barrel, backing into a stall 4 feet on the stump, I actually had Pea, Leroy and Jerry ...
