I spent quite a bit of time on the phone with a very nice person at Renegade before ordering the size that I did; we both thought the next size up (2WW) would be TOO big. I can send them back for a refund or exchange for the next size up; I just hate spending the extra money for shipping back and forth and back! Oh well; if they won't work (I cannot get the heel captivator – an ingenious device – up over Lance's heel bulbs), they won't work, and the sooner I send these back, the sooner I can get the replacements – hopefully before our next horse-camping trip.
Lance and I still had a lovely ride in the moonlight. Last Sunday at a neighborhood picnic, I talked to a couple neighbors about where I could ride on our hill. I used to ride all over, but with more houses and fences built in the area I wasn't sure what was acceptable anymore. With permissions in hand, we were able to go quite a ways and mostly stay off the gravel; it felt like "the good old days." :-)

She's probably actually happy for the attention? :-)
Perhaps she does like the attention, but also needs a little bute to keep up? I know I do.
Woodrow did a stint as a lesson horse a few years back, and all went well until he decided the rider needed to up her game a bit. He started trotting out of the ring and going to the pasture gate with the poor girl. She must have learned some assertiveness as she is doing cross country now with a lovely Connemara mare.
Sara, I do thinks she likes the extra grooming.
Mary, that's an excellent idea! I tend not to think of those things because I've never been a pill-popper myself.
There are also the B-L pellets - Bute-less. They have devil's claw and yucca and a couple of other natural anti-inflamatories. I bought some for Correy's old guy when I was living there - it did wonders for him. Coastal or Wilco should have it.
I think Tang's wondering where her pasture pony days have gone - she's getting out more (not enough, though), and while it's work, she enjoys it, I think.
