For the want of a screw...
You know, I was embarrassed last week when I lost that screw to Riley's hospital plate -- felt like such a bozo. It's the worst kind of stupid mistake, the kind you have to reveal to half the planet because you can't fix it yourself.I'm happy to report that the Internet has offered me some vindication. By chance the other day, I was googling hospital plates to see if I could find a type that Riley could be turned out in (hope springs eternal).Click on this image (a Web page from the NCSU Vet school) and notice the part that I've highlighted/enlarged. Yippeee!

An inside look at Totilas (back at the stable)
Last night I was talking with a friend about Totilas, and we wondered aloud about "what he's really like to ride," "what's he like around the barn," etc.. By sheer coincidence, Horse Hero sent me this video interview -- Fiona Price poses just those sorts of questions to Edward Gal, with Totilas in his stable rug behind them. Can I put in a plug for Horse Hero? They're free (just need to register), and their videos are informative and entertaining. Fiona Price gives a relaxed, fun interview, and she has an intuitive sense of what people want to know. Kudos to Horse Hero!

Most hated barn tasks

Falling off is a spectator sport - thanks to Youtube
Youtube has it's share of horsie atrocities on film. At least as remarkable as the rider/horse mishaps are the spectators..."Nerves of steel" mother of the year award... Goes to this mom (videotaping at 24" and 1'19," through three bucking fits).The girl is certainly gutsy, but that's no kid's pony.A Mexico vacationThe teen claims he was coerced to ride while on vacation in Mexico (read text on Youtube for his account of the event). If mom was the one who insisted, she has a come to Jesus moment while videotaping...
