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.

Another Solly update! Big news.

From early September, when Danmakine visited!



Take THAT, common sense!


A-PLUH!


Saying hello to Danmakine


Saying hello to me!


Meditating with Solomon keeping me company.


Solomon coming to say hello to momma.


His lovely face.


His lovely attitude!


Getting his hooves picked.








Walking away


Solomon at night!






Rolling!


Late September, Solomon in the roundpen. He was really high energy! I know, I know, I'm in a skirt... :p



The big news? We're moving.

I don't WANT to move. Solomon doesn't, either. But I simply cannot afford to board at Bo's ranch any more. :(

So, Solomon is moving to a 90 acre or so pasture about 8 miles from Bo's ranch. Three other horses, gentle hills, a big pond, water troughs, and lots of room to roam. I'm really really hoping that he does well there! I went with KizmetRanch and JustBloo to check it out. They both felt he would do well there, also. So! Here's hoping...

We're moving the day after tomorrow. I'll still visit Bo, though!
