Insecure

Thanks all, for the welcome. I’m still a little insecure and feeling my way here. I’m just back from the barn where I rode my big Hanovarian Pi. I’m starting to get my leg and seat back after three months off because of an annoying surgery. God you lose your strength _fast_ in this sport.

I put him back in the double bridle today, and he has such a long, big head I couldn’t keep my hand under the bits, and get my thumb into the corner of his mouth to get him to open his big yap. I had to have a friend stick her hand in his mouth while I slipped in the bits. Now when it’s a snaffle bit he just drops his head, and takes it pretty as you please. He knows the double means he’s going to have to work hard.

I’ve got to get into town. I’ll babble at folks later.

    Hi Melinda, welcome to the blogsphere.

    I found your blog via GRR Martin’s journal. We share some interests: opera, history, writing, dressage horses (can’t afford to have one right now, but I hope things will change), so I’ll come back and read what you want to share with the web world. :)

    Good luck with your projects.

    Hi Melinda,

    I also found my way here via GRRM’s blog.

    What made me come check things out was discovering you wrote “The Measure of a Man”, one of my all time favorite TNG epsiodes. Whenever I want to get nostalgic and watch a couple TNG episodes that is one of 3 that always get watched.

    I haven’t had the pleasure of reading any of the Wild Cards stuff, but now I think I just might.

    Good luck with all your projects!
