Well, it is almost July 1, 2008 and how many trails have you ridden this year? My younger mare has been laid-up with a deep, digital flexor tendon injury since early May. We managed one trail ride before the injury and now we are waiting for another ultra-sound to let us know if we can get busy.
My Morgan mare, Tessie, is letting me know it is time to ride her again. So, today we ride. Now mind you riding Tessie is not trails or whizzing about the arena. She has old leg injuries that limit her activities and she is what I call a 20 minute horse. Sometimes that includes tacking up!
I still don't know if anyone has seen this blog or how to get it out to be seen, but, as always,
Take care,
Patamar and Tessie

Introduction to Tessie's Horse Sense
Good Tuesday to any and all who may drop by here. I have never created a blog before so am new at this.
I want to begin by saying that I am a horseperson; not a whisperer or cowboy, but a person who lives for horses as much as my lifestyle allows. I want to connect with other horse folks to get their ideas with regard to horse keeping, riding, feeding and everything horse related.
I have two mares; one 24 year old Morgan mare and an almost 10 year old Paint mare. Very good girls they are, too!! This blog is named for my Morgan mare, Tess. She was trained under an English saddle and is an insecure girl. Well, not so much after almost 16 years together, but she was and still could be a 'run-a-way'. She has damaged her legs; tendons and such, and now has ringbone. We ride in the arena and on the property where I board, but no trails. It would cripple her further, especially if she ran away again.
My Paint mare, Ms. Fizz is a wonderful trail horse. She reminds me of Goldie Hawn when she was giggling on 'Laugh-In'. She knows when it's time for work and when she can be just a silly girl. She rarely spooks and never runs off! Right now she is recovering from a deep digital flexor tendon injury. Pasture play got a bit whizzy. I'm hoping to be back on the trails soon.
Well, let's see if anyone finds this blog and speaks up.
