Back in the Saddle

Hey everyone,

I rode two of my mares today and let me tell you, it felt great! Those of you in Southern Ohio, know how cold, wintry and miserable it has been lately. I, even though have an indoor arena, just couldn't even brave it! I know, I've become a wimp. Being from New England, I should be used to this winter stuff, well, folks, it's been six years now and I think I'm out of practice.

Riding Zetty my just now turned 3 year old, is always fun. Teaching her to slow down and collect her canter is great. I experimented with a different bit, and I think it really helped her. She's coming along real nice.

Coco, my buckskin mare, she's just amazing. She's got to be one of my favorite rides. She's so talented and strong but yet sensitive in her mouth and cues, it's super fun. I can't say enough about her. Not only is she beautiful, but she can float and move with such fluidity. I can't wait to have Morgan Goolsby show her again this Summer and come home with more blue ribbons. What a team they are.

I know, I know, what about the mules? Well today they were enjoying their round bales and getting muddy rolling in the melting snow and mud. Their day is tomorrow. I think for sure Ginger, my super talented 2 1/2 year old gaited mule, and maybe Goose, my 4 year old powerhouse.

Well folks, I'll let you know how the mules do. But until then, enjoy your four-legged friends, because they are the only ones who will always be your true friends.

I'm Back on Blogging

I wanted to say to myself, "Welcome Back, Dora". It's been a long while since I have posted something on my blog. I have been very neglectful indeed. However, this has now all changed thanks to my being at home now 'til my new pharmacy adventure begins somewhere. But for the meantime, I will do what I want to do, and not as I must!

This is what I want to do: talk about mules, my mules, my friends mules, anything muley I can think about. Training techniques, product reviews, you name it. I'm here, with time, and I'm here to share my experiences.

Anyways, let's begin, shall we?

There has been many developments at DiaMond D Mule Farm. We hosted a very successful new NASMA "A" Show, at Roberts Arena, in Wilmington, OH last June. We plan on holding our 2nd annual Ohio Open Mule & Donkey Classic on June 18th & 19th, 2011 at Roberts Arena, in Wilmington, OH. Go to www.diamonddmules.com for show bill, class entry form, and sponsorship info.

On a sooner note, February 5th you will be able to come and compete at Gymkhana Fun Day events at DiaMond D. Again, hate to be redundant but, go to www.diamonddmules.com for a show bill for that day. It's $25 per rider/horse combo to ride all day. There will be refreshments and food for a small donation.

Well, folks that's it for today. We'll see you soon! I guarantee it!
