Well, that was demoralizing. #maclayfinals flat phase ... Group C. No stirrups. Ring being set for the top 25 o/f.

It’s been a day and I nearly forgot opening day! And after making sure I had my trees from the turn done in time, too. They’re going to need a bit of rail, I think. #keenelandfallmeet

Did you just get one like this, too? WTAF.

This is some Kafkaesque sh't ... all the means of communicating I can find require you to be able to be logged into an account 😂 Also, they disappeared two other accounts I had but rarely use, one an account for freelance work that was basically dormant.

USEF fee changes announced. Failure to read the room? Discuss.

Nope. Not Monday (or Tuesday, Wednesday, etc etc) nor today... and the message changed to a flat "no" today:

I was in the same situation until Hitchens decided to see if his odds of getting fed were better elsewhere. Then there’s this one. She’s better at logistics.

#caturday … I brought some work home with me for the weekend and these guys are (literally) here for it. They love themselves a little quality time at the ‘bed office’ (not chiro-approved).

That's like, shopping on a budget the way this night is going 😆

#notesfromthesundaypapers // OMFG Edition … I read so you don’t have to, but this time I’m taking you all down with me. Let’s all sleep well tonight

In other, lighter news... Got Clip My Horse on while making Sunday breakfast. Ammys are carrying nice pace this morning at Blowing Rock. I also spy a wine/plum-ish jacket...

@goonrgrrl.bsky.social @gloomylawyer.bsky.social so, the Baran? Makes me miss olde olde really olde Twitter and uh, Diva 😭 And I’m less than three minutes in on today’s events. Sweet Jesus. (Was traveling to visit fam today so just catching up now).

How’s that super rank horse laundry going?
It’s not. This one needed to take her turn.

I think there used to be a barn cat account at the “old place.” Hitchens thinks he would like to be a barn cat but I keep telling him the lifestyle isn’t what he thinks it is. These guys aren’t getting $36 crunchies and Cosequin treats in climate-controlled comfort 😂

It’s not Bodega Cats but here’s His Hitchens-y Awesomeness hoarding the absolutely rancid-smelling saddle pad I blessedly remembered to pull out of my EZ Bake car during this 99-degree weather (I exaggerate but only by about 4 degrees).

Indiana, Pa. (western part of the state; Jimmy Stewart's hometown) ... there was a concurrent Pride celebration down the street, that's an annual event.

You can also bring snacks ... at ours today (her sign referenced tacos):

With Rodney Jenkins being honored at Upperville, I was super delighted to spy Phlash Phelps in the Take2 jumpers. I missed that he was an RRP horse! And at WEC Ohio last fall (I need to venture away from the hunter rings once in a while). @goonrgrrl.bsky.social @gloomylawyer.bsky.social

Playing name that tune with the instrumental covers during the Browland derby.That was Hozier's "Take Me To Church," during the cute paint horse's round. I know I know this next one; I just can't spit out the song and artist. Also, hot mic!! (2 high options and are YOU coming to the party tonight?)!

Have reached the age where I'm excited to do surveys for the chance to win fly spray.
Wait. I may've always been that age?
