Photos: River exploring her new home
Posted on February 28, 2011 by horsegirlonajourney
River is home and settling in nicely. She’s very thoughtful, and if she misses her huge grassy pastures, she is compensating by being deeply interested in all of the activity here. The RV, garage, miscellaneous household items, and house in these pictures are the neighbors’. Their deck parallels the paddock behind our barn. Since Saturday [...]

Rocky and Salsa have moved temporarily to the front pen so their pen can be used for a guest.

But yesterday I took advantage of a canceled [...]

Rocky meets a cow
Posted on December 20, 2010 by horsegirlonajourney
In the past couple of months Rocky and I have had only 6 or 7 sessions, not counting the turnouts in the arena where I spend a few minutes with him before returning to the office. We are proving that the Parelli method works even if you can’t live in a tent with your horse [...]

Slide Show: Our first trail lesson in Nevada County
Posted on October 1, 2010 by horsegirlonajourney
Erin took five of us out on the trail for a beginners’ lesson. We encountered pedestrians, joggers, dogs, bicycles, children, and other horses; creeks, bridges, and hills; and the occasional gold rush era ruin.

He came to see me … and I left
Posted on January 30, 2009 by horsegirlonajourney
This week has been heavy on the work and light on the horse, but I went out in my pajamas this morning and threw an apple over the fence into the bucket Rocky had just licked clean of beet pulp and probiotics and hoof supplement. I threw it hard so it would make a loud [...]
