I Feel Like I Should Say Something Profound

It's been so long since I've posted regularly (or even been on the Internet except for research for work projects) that I feel like I can't post unless I say something profound.

I've got nothing profound to say.

Buddy is over his pneumonia. Lily is having a wonderful time with her working student job and wants to compete Lucy, Buddy and our neighbor's horse at a local event in December. She can't watch much of the Olympics before she has to rush outside and start practicing.

I never finished posting about the Breyer horse, horse camp and some horse stuff in the news.

But I've made my confession. I've got nothing profound to say. School starts on Thursday. I hope to get back into routine then.

Though I do love the non-routine-ness of our summer routine.

Happy Summer, if you're in the Northern Hemisphere, and if you're in the Southern Hemisphere, know that we're sending summer your way ... with many regrets to see it go.

It's good to see you back even if you have nothing profound to say, who does? sounds like you all had a good summer and I too am sorry to see it go so soon.

This is in response to a post from April about stall flooring. Last summer I was introduced to sand stalls over dirt. They are easy to muck, the pee soaks and dries easily and the sand acts as an abrasive cleaner for the hooves. The downside- sand colic. The horses I was working with were Polo horses and kept in their stalls 24/7 unless I was hot walking/working them. They were fed twice a day and given hay twice a day. They were also given sand clear daily. The hay had to be given in a hay rack as it was not safe to feed it on the sand. I think that sand was great, but took a lot of precautions. My ideal flooring/bedding is pea gravel. It is small enough to give under a horses hooves, but large enough to not be eaten, allows pee to evaporate, easy to muck, and increases circulation by massaging the hooves.

You always have something profound to say! And if you have the time I need some of your wisdom.

My computer won't let me access any of my friend's websites (get "cannot access page"), so I'm completely frustrated and out of touch.

I reached you by clicking on Victoria's page via a comment she left on my site. Confused, yet?

If you have time, I'd greatly appreciate your suggestions regarding a post I just put up this morning about a starving horse in my area.

I'm so stressed and am trying to reach as many people as possible (in this round about way) to get suggestions.

Thanks, Marvel
