Maybe Mae: Devastated
http://maybemae.blogspot.com/2009/04/devastated.html
Sunday, April 19, 2009. Things have been tough lately. Last week, I lost a friend. She had a lengthy illness and it wasn't exactly unexpected, but of course that doesn't help how much it hurts. As anyone who ever lost a loved one knows, the loss - whether it's a family member, a friend, a horse or a pet - tends to trigger other losses, too. So as I grieve for my friend, I also grieve for my mother, my dog from 5 years ago, and the amazing Arab mare I had during my childhood and teens. I hope you are ok.

Maybe Mae: September 2008
http://maybemae.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 30, 2008. A Poorly Braided, Tail-Chasing, Bouncy-Trotting Mess. Bart: I thought you said you wanted a challenge. Lisa: Duh. A challenge I can. That's about where I am right now. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, I will be riding Marve in the schooling show next month. And I'm already getting nervous. 1 Convincing Marve he does NOT want to chase down the horse in front of him and ride right. on. its. tail. To it (Although, wtf? And get him nice and round (if I'm lucky), but if he ge...

Maybe Mae: January 2009

Monday, January 26, 2009. Shedding Fear = Better Riding (duh). But we still have a lot to work on. A lot. My riding seems so hot and cold. I feel like I know what it's like to have it together and ride well and give effective aids.but knowing and doing are in a very. Long-distance relationship right now. It's frustrating. Try But I listen to my instructor and try to see how her comments specifically apply to my riding and what I can do to get better. I certainly didn't whine back, "But I am. I've been fe...

Maybe Mae: I want a pony.
http://maybemae.blogspot.com/2009/03/i-want-pony.html
Monday, March 23, 2009. I want a pony. Some things never change. I will always want a pony. And judging by some horsey message boards I was on, it looks like this is a desire shared by other adult women, too. Still, was I a brat or what? Good lord ponies are cute. I know I will totally own a pony someday. Somehow, and perhaps not for logical reasons, that goal seems more attainable than owning a full-sized horse. I mean, I know ponies are a little cheaper to feed but other than that you're talkin...Yes, ...

Maybe Mae: Small Check, Big Post
http://maybemae.blogspot.com/2009/05/small-check-big-post.html
Wednesday, May 13, 2009. Small Check, Big Post. It’s already May 13 and I’m finally getting around to sharing this news:. The lease check I wrote to the barn this month was a lot smaller than usual. As in, only half the amount. May 15 will be my last day leasing Marve. As for me, I hope to be back. Maybe it will be when I take up another lease, or when I decide I’d like to blog in detail about my lessons and progress, or maybe even the day I finally feel ready to buy a horse. For now, IR...I really sy...

A blog named after a husbands nickname for his wife. Thursday, May 8, 2014. It finally decided to STAY warm around here! Well, for now at least, lol. It has been mostly 80's for a few weeks now, so maybe we are safe! Shelby is doing good except for SLEEPING. You know how I bragged on her last post? Hahahaha. I read that again and was like, SIGH, why can't she still be like that? GRRRRRRRRR. I know, I know, these days shall pass. But um, they can go already, we have had enough! I started her on rice cerea...

The Unspotted Spotted Saddle Horse: April 2013
http://theunspottedspottedsaddlehorse.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
The Unspotted Spotted Saddle Horse. My adventures with 'Cisco'. Tuesday, April 30, 2013. Well Friday we finally got the stars to align and got our farrier out! And boy do his feet look better. My gosh it was amazing after he was done how much toe he had to cut off. They looked so tiny! I bet big boy is so much happier moving around now. Anyway I got out there early so I could brush him down. I seriously haven't seen him for 3 weeks or more. I know, bad bad! Oh, btw I'm prego again! He scrambled back up a...

Maybe Mae: Slate Article on Horse Slaughter
http://maybemae.blogspot.com/2009/02/slate-article-on-horse-slaughter.html
Thursday, February 26, 2009. Slate Article on Horse Slaughter. The recent Explainer column. On Slate describes how horse slaughter works. It's a brief, matter-of-fact piece and isn't too gory, though it disturbed me to read it. There is a video link I totally did not. Lately, I've seen the issue of horse slaughter or abuse crop up more often in non-horsey places. I recently saw this video. On the Onion. At first I thought it was going to be funny but it grows more upsetting, especially when they show...
