…rises from the ashes! Yeah! Connor‘s back on the riding circuit and everybody’s very happy about it, especially Connor! Connor is the first horse of “Kids Horsin’ Around” – he came together with Star about ten years ago. He is an OTTB (off the track race horse – thoroughbred – as evident by his tattooed [...]

Good-by Winter Coats!

Two young riders with Star after they’ve gotten her all shined up!! Everybody is so happy now that winter is over and the horses have almost all but lost their winter coats! It’s been weeks of laboriously grooming and grooming and horse hair flying everywhere!!
Horses and Water Sprinklers!
Posted in Horses on April 20, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
It was an unseasonably hot day today – 96 degrees!! Put horses in the turn out to play and put the water sprinklers on. They loved it! Like a bunch of little kids they ran in and out of the water and then rolled in the mud for good measure!

Doggone Horse!!!
Posted in Horses, Max on April 4, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I usually don’t let beginner riders on Max…(especially without a helmet)…But Lilly is an exception! (She later rode bareback!) Actually, this dog is not a beginner. Lilly, Jessika’s dog, has been out trail riding, so backyard riding at Kids Horsin’ Around was nothin’ for this “dog on horse”!
Appeal to the Great Spirit

It was Sally Swift who said increased awareness of your body leads to a better rider. One of her visualization exercises that I love to use (and she has alot of them!) is the Appeal to the Great Spirit, from the magnificent statue in front of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, by Cyrus E. [...]
Bye, Bye, Silver!

Bad news at Kids Horsin’ Around today. Silver’s owners emailed and want to take him home much earlier than we had planned (years earlier!)…they’ll be picking him up tomorrow! Too bad! We had big plans for that litttle guy and he will be sorely missed. When God closes a door, he always opens a [...]
Ooops! My Bad!!
Posted in Horses on February 19, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Ok, right off the bat, I committed the number one cardinal sin for bloggers…too much time elapsed between my posts. My last post was 2/13 and here it is 2/19, that’s……6 days!! Yikes!! I’ve been busy, honest! I can justify my lapse in proper protocol, hear me out! Well, it’s been raining and my trainer [...]
Rain, Rain, Go Away!
Posted in Horses, Max on February 9, 2009 | 2 Comments »
It’s raining like crazy today and everybody’s wet and soggy! Lessons and training cancelled. But, I have to remember, as I look around the ‘net, many horses are standing in frozen snow, dealing with ice, or maybe with horrific bush fires as in Australia. That one hits close to home since we also have our share of [...]

September 1, 2011.....the same kind of person who would consider killing their family horse because it is no longer useful to them.This kind of stuff really pisses me off. This pony obviously served her family very well, and now that she is not longer useful to them, they are going to have her killed!!!

- With Jack...It's Always Something..... June 8, 2010Saturday we had a Junior Girl Scout Troop in from Pacific Beach to earn their "Horse Fan" Badge. During one of the activities, we bring out Jack, a very quiet and complacent horse, to take weight & height measurements; listen to heart & gut sounds; and record respiration. It was during this little workshop that we notice Jack had a nasty ga […]
