Hi, I'm Ev. I'm training to become a horsewoman. These are my adventures and misadventures. I'm green as hell, but so far, so good. I'm now learning from Bo (and sometimes his wife DeDe) at D&D Ranch in Pope Valley. I am extremely lucky to have this opportunity, I feel quite blessed, and I feel that they, and horses, have really turned my life around.
Solomon is my baby- a big old flea bitten grey Appendix gelding who is very kind and way too smart! I love him so very much. He is a rescue and was meant to be co-owned rehabbed, and maybe rehomed to a good home. He turned out to be over 25 years old with injuries that ultimately do not make him riding sound, so he is retired.

He gave me a "mom are you crazy?" look and sniffed me while I was tying his toy to a new part of his stall today, but did not knock me down.

Today he was a very good boy on the way out, and pretty good the whole way back. When we got to the orchard going out, I gave him the o.k. to eat a couple of apples off the ground because he was behaving so well. Yay!

When I picked his feet, we had a struggle with his front right again. I think I'm going to ask the vet to check it out on Saturday when he gets his medications. While I was cleaning it, once he settled down, he took the opportunity to rub his head on my butt. BAD HOSS! Heh, I am amazed that nobody walked by, I'm sure it looked hilarious.
