Sinwaan: Here we are again

http://sinwaan.blogspot.com/2013/09/here-we-are-again.html

Journal of my quest to be an endurance rider. Friday, September 6, 2013. Here we are again. Sinwaan watching neighboring cows. When his mane is at this angle he always reminds me of the. I figured this past week would drag by, but with school starting up again and all the other things that happen in our daily lives, it actually wasn't too bad. Before I knew it Friday rolled around and it was time to take Sinwaan back in for some more evaluations, and hopefully answers. Dr Pritchett and her tech, I believ...

Sinwaan: July 2013

http://sinwaan.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html

Journal of my quest to be an endurance rider. Sunday, July 28, 2013. Headed for the mountains! Heather has been itching to head for the hills. Real hills, not the little ones we usually ride on the roads. She thought that with all the miles I have put on Sinwaan, and with how far his fitness level has come the past couple of months, we were ready to tackle Cache Hollow with her. Sinwaan thought I must be kidding to not only expect him to carry me up THE HILL, but also to do most of it at a TROT. WHAT?

Sinwaan: Visit to the specialist

http://sinwaan.blogspot.com/2013/09/visit-to-specialist.html

Journal of my quest to be an endurance rider. Tuesday, September 17, 2013. Visit to the specialist. This week Dr. Dora Jean Ferris is in town so I took the opportunity and scheduled an appointment time with her for Sinwaan. Another thing she pointed out to me was his muscles quivering in a specific spot, when flexing him, more so on the left than on the right. As a comparison, right flexion test. Starts at 10 sec. right flexion test on right. Starts at about 18 sec. flexion test on left. Sinwaan was sett...

Sinwaan: May 2012

http://sinwaan.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html

Journal of my quest to be an endurance rider. Tuesday, May 29, 2012. 8 miles, 59 degrees. This morning my dog woke me up at 4:30 am because she had to go out and do some business. What to do, when the alarm is set for 5 am? Well, I went back to bed. The alarm went off and I hit snooze. I figured since one dog was already pottied, I could steal another couple of minutes in bed. That was about all I got, as I roused myself before the alarm went off a second time. It was a beautiful morning and it felt grea...

Sinwaan: July 2012

Journal of my quest to be an endurance rider. Saturday, July 21, 2012. Camas Creek Canter, Saturday. After a little while I decided to get up and take some photos of Laurie heading out on her 50 mile ride. She wears a yellow life vest to counteract Otto's, shall we say, adventurous nature. This makes her easy to spot! Thankfully it was a very easy-going morning. There was plenty of time to get it all done. We even had help! Before mounting up, I had forgotten something in the tent, so I asked Eliana to h...

Sinwaan: June 2012

http://sinwaan.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html

Journal of my quest to be an endurance rider. Sunday, June 24, 2012. 5 mile ride this morning, just wasn't feeling up to the usual 8. Wednesday, June 20, 2012. 8 mile ride in early morning temps of 56°F! Tuesday, June 12, 2012. This morning I did not want to get out of bed, what else is new? Driving out to the barn the temperature was a perfect 60 ° and I was even a bit chilly. Sinwaan saw me coming and walked a couple steps the opposite direction. He was not in the mood to work today! Friday I trailered...

Sinwaan: October 2012

Journal of my quest to be an endurance rider. Saturday, October 20, 2012. Typically for my birthday there is one thing I always have on my to-do list, and that is riding. Today was no exception. I was a bit worried last night, when what appeared to be a monsoon threatened with wind gusts and rain all night long. It was scary out there, and I was in town. Where there is some shelter offered from neighboring houses. I couldn't imagine how bad the winds might be out on the farm. There is a wooden rail along...
