Shades of Dick Thompson


Remember the farrier whose hand was sliced by Maggie? Well, Ralph is our farrier here...he is completely awesome! He is tiny, wiry, and aging, but commands those horses' respect. He doesn't put up with any funny stuff and very effectively and humanely puts an end to the di-dos. The horses pay attention and learn. It's wonderful to see. It's not that they're terrible...even I am comfortable picking up their feet (even the hind ones), but Ralph likes to run a tight ship. Now, they have very tidy, rounded toenails.

Let's see, what else did I do? I made my lentil soup, walked 1.7 miles on the treadmill, and tried not to annoy the Coach too much on this his coaching day.
