Wow, it's been a while since I've written anything here. Ugh, I've been so busy.

The ponies are doing well...still working hard on the longeing! Looking for recommendations on a good liniment to help with sore, tight muscles.

Also looking for recommendations for stall bedding. Shavings, pellets, sawdust, etc.? I don't know!

I'm trying to clean out my e-mail...it's not working.

That is all.

Blogger just gave me a weird error message about cookies. Oh, well. It's letting me blog now.

The ponies did even better in their second longeing session today! I was really impressed. One of them knows how to longe, and today she was especially calm, cool, and responsive. We're teaching the other one to longe, and she's picking it up really quickly. She's a little nervous, and she trots around really fast sometimes, but she's already starting to read my body language and understand "walk," "trot," and "whoa!"

MY BRIDLE IS MOLDY!!! I'm mad about that. Anybody have any recommendations for leather cleaners?

I need to put in a horse supply order really soon. I need little stuff like fly spray and dewormer. I'm such a cheapskate, though! I must learn to SPEND MONEY!

The ponies did excellent in their longeing sessions today!!!! I was so surprised...but pleasantly surprised! :)

I'm doing some online research about fly spray tonight ... anybody have any recommendations for ANYTHING to keep these nasty bugs off the horses?

I have to clean my room.
Well, the ponies are going back to work on the longe line today! They've both been pasture potatoes for far too long. Of course, they're both in heat and sort of in a cranky mood and very herdbound, so we'll see how the longeing sessions go. I might have to bribe them with some treats. I hate bribing my horses with treats. :P

Been looking to stock up on hay...it is in high demand this year! There seems to be enough hay, but it's pretty bad quality. :(

Need more fly spray, too.
