http://travelswithharleymoon.blogspot.com/2015/07/and-in-todays-featured-ridean-ungulate.html
Wednesday, July 1, 2015. And in today's featured ride.an ungulate joins us for some fun. We determined he was a wether. I said to John, "Let's see what he does at the foot bridge. I'll bet he uses it." John replied,"If he does, hang on, because that will certainly spook Harley! Well the goat surprised us both and hopped from stone to stone, ignoring the foot bridge. Butch was waiting, as I expected, and I apologized for the delay. He saw the goat and exclaimed, "Where did you get the goat?

Travels With Harley: Of mud, ice, and broken barns
http://travelswithharleymoon.blogspot.com/2015/04/of-mud-ice-and-broken-barns.html
Monday, April 27, 2015. Of mud, ice, and broken barns. My quest continues.is there a mini-farm out there to fit our needs and our budget? And if the paint dust wasn't bad enough, now that mud season is here, the dust and hair is flying off the ponies. I've thought about wearing a dust mask when I groom them! I convinced John we needed to take some time off from repairs to get in a a little ride on Saturday afternoon. John and I need to keep the horses worked, at least a little, so they aren't too cra...

Travels With Harley: Still horse-crazy after all these years
http://travelswithharleymoon.blogspot.com/2015/05/still-horse-crazy-after-all-these-years.html
Sunday, May 31, 2015. Still horse-crazy after all these years. As my toe throbbed under an ice pack, I realized my slower reaction times and balance are not as sharp as when I was twenty. Now that I'm pushing 55, I don't mend quite as quickly either! But all the pain has been worth the joy our three horses have brought me, starting with our first horse, Halawa Moon, known around the barn as Harley, and sometimes as, "Gnarley Harley" if he's being particularly opinionated. Snoozy Rolex in the morning.

Brave and Careful. – Diligent Horse
https://diligenthorse.wordpress.com/2012/10/19/brave-and-careful
October 19, 2012. I took Reason to ride at the arena on Tuesday evening. The last few days have been warm, Tuesday was no different reaching into the 90’s. Where in the world did 90 degree temperatures come from, in the middle of October, no less! Getting Reason to flow into the canter depart and for myself to be quiet once he’s there. Oh yea and that Reason is an awesome loader now! Reason stepped right on without a second thought. He did try to jump off of it, instead of walk across it, but after a...

An Update! – Diligent Horse
https://diligenthorse.wordpress.com/2013/06/11/an-update
June 11, 2013. June 11, 2013. Well, here’s an update, since I’ve been lacking in my writing activities. Reason has been doing great! We have a new jump saddle coming (arriving today! Because my old saddle unfortunately does not fit. It’s been OK to get him going at best, but it’s time for something new and improved. I’ve never owned a new saddle, nor have I ever had one as nice as this one. I’m anxious to try it! Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here. Address never made public). Blog at Wor...

Travels With Harley: The Tractor Factor and Our Snowy Staycation
http://travelswithharleymoon.blogspot.com/2015/02/the-tractor-factor-and-snowy-staycation.html
Saturday, February 21, 2015. The Tractor Factor and Our Snowy Staycation. How I spent my winter vacation. More snow and blizzard winds; these snowbanks just get higher and higher. As of today, that snowbank behind me is now nearly at the corner of the milk room. We received another few inches yesterday afternoon following moderate temperatures (all the way up to the high 20's) and sunny skies. Will the snow ever stop? The snow is too deep down there! Bring back the hay! Rolex striding down the road.

Travels With Harley: The Filly Follies
http://travelswithharleymoon.blogspot.com/p/filly-follies.html
Today John bathed both fillies today, getting the loose dander, dust, and East Boston pigeon poop off them. The he "threw a leg" over each of the girls, first Rough and Ready (aka Ruffy), then Rolex Girl. Aka Roly) and gave them a short workout. I wish I'd seen them loose in the pasture- sounds like they enjoyed freedom on the green grass, something sorely missing at Suffolk Downs. November 9, 2011. Harley takes his girlfriends for a walk. November 16, 2011. He hadn't been out on that trail in a week or ...
