The woods
There’s a monster in the woods, she said. Left leg, right rein. No there is not. Glance left, pause, stare left. No, there definitely is not. There’s something in the woods and it does not belong. Sidepass, sidepass, no spinning, … Continue reading →
Pony move: 12 feet
Confetti moved into her large paddock over Labor Day 2013, two years back. The neighbors were good. I eventually negotiated for both a feed room and a tack room. She had an empty small paddock on one stall and a … Continue reading →
