Sign My Guestbook!Wow - so much is going on that I haven't had (or made) time to write! Sorry about all that!
- wow 1 Remember that horse I wrote about a couple of months ago? The one I thought I would be riding with my friend? Turns out that he (Murphy) was in pretty poor shape. I don't want to make the owner feel bad; she has enough problems right now. Suffice it to say that he wasn't rideable. I worked out a program for his "rehabilitation". It's been a month or so, and I'm glad to say that he's improving! His back muscles are filling in behind his whithers; I can see some of the belly muscles working; his trot is more balanced and he can pick it up from a walk (he used to hop around a few strides before trotting). I just went to his next level of effort, and he seems to be handling it. The chiropractor comes in a couple of weeks and after Murphy settles from that adjustment, I'll put this little 100 pound rider on him.
- wow 2 I just found out from my friend last night that Murphy's owner is considering turning him over to me! I'm not too sure if this is a Good Thing or not. I like the horse, he'd be a good babysitter and I think he'd be a good driving horse. He may even be fit for light regular riding. The downside is that he's 16, will require special shoeing (I think), and already has "grey horse melanoma".
- wow 3 Tap dancing is killing my feet. I have so much fun, and I seem to be doing well, but sheesh, my feet ache for days! I just bought 2 "books" of classes (I take class at two studios), so I'm committed for at least 3 more weeks (6 more classes). I'll go ahead and take those, but they should finish up around the end of this month. By then the days will be longer and I'll probably want to be doing horse stuff anyway.
- wow 4 I'm learning Excel the hard way - under deadline. I'm helping with a membership list database and making labels. I did get it (and Word) to make the labels last night, but the zip codes are coming out funny.
- wow 5 Tiger Horse - I think I might want to get involved. Do a google search on it.
Well that's it for now. Oh, except for the stuff on my mac powerbook. That is an education in itself.
