Medieval, Music, and Marchador Monday =----> Wexford Carol with Desejo and me.
I'm usually in a Medieval mood, my research and writing keep me in the Dahlquin zone =----> Christmas music brings a deep connection of it's own. Music is medicine and so much more.

A favorite Winter Solstice and Caturday memory, our second winter at the ranch, 2014. KTM, the ranch foreman and colt starter, Russ, and me ;)
Feel the power of this sacred day =----> may you have a purring cat in you lap, a song in your heart, a good horse with you, or a great book to hand.

#Canterday memory with my handsome, Desejo. I just love his attentive expression, soft reins. I am missing my ponies and and fun in the saddle. But I am loving being a grandma too <3
As I write and work on publishing concerns...I would LOVE to see your pictures of horses <3

December 31, 2024 - This wildflower was hanging tuff after some rain storms here on the central coast of California.
2024 is almost no more...whether it has left you battered like this flower, or been a superlative year and you are still blooming...may you find the resilience to thrive in 2025

My poor Big Huggin', Russ, has been sick =p Never a fun way to start a new year or any day...
I did fit in a New Year's Day ride with Desejo, ponying Mystic, and McCrea rode Cochise and ponied Red Elf <3 Woot woot =----> 2025 is happening =---->

#TrainerTuesday on the Trail with Desejo, riding into the light, enjoying the beauty on the trail, including the Spanish Moss.
More details in alt text-and oh how such images inspire my stories in #Dahlquin, writing or riding in #MedievalIreland.
A blessed day to all =---->

Yesterday my redz were radiant in the glowing halo created by the setting December sun, but my photos could not capture it. It was also a time it pause and just be grateful for them and however much time fate will allow us. We never know. Everyday is a gift.

More from Mystic, Mica'n'me on the trail yesterday =----> In case you missed the singing video, yes, the weather outside's delightful, the trails so insightful...the weather is just like summer, but the ticks are such a bummer =p My poor, wolly mammoth ponies, in their big winter coats AND ticks

Mystic'n'me doing a quick bareback loop on the Pond View Trail...with a view of the pond :)
It was cold, breezy, and so overast, it felt like rain, but things are green, lush and so many wild flowers making an appearance.
I am so out of shape for bareback rides, so, I need to fit in more.

#Caturday memory with KTM and Russ putting up a target way back when =----> =----> =----> Our ranch foreman ❤ "No job too big or small" He has his own took belt (well, claws and teeth), still does his own stunts and besides killing whatever he can catch, he is such a patient babysitter ❤
March 8, 2025 at 3:35 PM
It's #MoggyMeowday and #WorldCatDay
KTM, the best ranch dog we never had! Ranch foreman, head trainer, and babysitter. Rescued from a feral cat colony, bottle raised and never ceases to amaze us with his abilities and resilience. Whether putting first rides on colts, or doing his own stunts <3

Only 8 planners left needing a Forever Home, and your new barn, SMARTIEVILLE
Every Small Business Saturday I sing the praises of this planner and the community.
Especailly helpful while in Reno "grandma-ing" AND managing a writing career and ranch.

How good it felt to finally get back to my ponies <3 <3 <3
Our Canterday started with worming, and all three were champs. All that practice paid off.
The "paper whites" are just reaching their peak, and the aroma is delightful - wish I could share THAT with you all.

#itsthemostwonderfultimeoftheyear . I may hit a few wrong notes, as we all do in life. With writing I can edit over and over. I keep trying, keep riding, and keep singing. Happy Holidays from #Equisance to you all =-----> =----> =---->

Sacred Sunday is a GREAT day to catch up on ranch and pony fun =----> I do LOVE holidays and horses =----> Living on a horse boarding ranch, we never really have a day off, but Sundays we pretend we do and try to share a quiet morning to ourselves.
December 8, 2024 at 4:33 PM
Canterday and Desejo and I are cantering again =----> I am grateful for every thundering hoof fall as we fly once more, because we never know, life is always in the balance.

November 27, 2012 =---->I have kept my promise to Desejo, NO more Christmas Parades. The worst night of his life 🙁 But on the up side, you have NEVER seen a horse trailer load so fast, he nearly leaped over me like an eventer to get in- "There's no place like home, there's no place like home"

Mare Monday with Mystic - look at that expression <3 Moer details below =---->

Sacred Sunday at the pond. The snowy egret took flight but the heron stood it's ground. The is always magic at the pond. It is my ponies favorite place to be, grazing, having a picnic. I love it too. Inspiration, motivation, pond magic.
