Xmas baking! by Annette V Hart 12/2/2013 8:10:08 AM
I've just finished baking our Christmas cake and managed to only burn the top (gentle beheading required!) Now I need to decide on a design for icing it!... more

Grownups acting like kids by David Ravenwood 12/2/2013 5:53:19 AM
Can you believe the people on TV and the computer fighting over items during the Thanksgiving sales? They aren't doing a very good job of being thankful. Their selfishness is unbelievable. These inconsiderate people remind me of the 3rd and 4th grade... more

Left Canter Pirouette by DeAnn Melton 11/30/2013 8:49:21 AM
Maxx was able to do a large canter pirouette on the left lead! This is exciting because it means he has gained the strength back and his left hind leg can handle it. When the pirouette was attempted previously he would stop....he couldn't do it. Now ... more

After the Rain by DeAnn Melton 11/25/2013 4:39:20 PM
Often Mondays are the perfect day for me to ride Maxx since Ellen is busy with classes. I turned him out thinking he would be wild after all the rain (safety first!), but he rolled, stood up, and looked at me. I kept waiting for him to be spirited. I... more

Still Raining by DeAnn Melton 11/23/2013 2:05:30 PM
It has rained all day yesterday, last night, and today. Wonderful for the desert, but hard on horses that want out of their stalls. It is too wet to ride in the arenas.
I put Maxx out in the one turnout acceptable and he stood on top of the ... more

Getting Better by DeAnn Melton 11/20/2013 4:36:26 PM
I watched Pat train Maxx today. My schedule and the availability of a car (college student) has been so busy I
haven't watched his training. Beautiful!!! Maxx looked superb. He is reaching more with his front legs and lifting higher.

Reflections on teaching writing... by Annette V Hart 11/19/2013 2:22:51 PM
I have been teaching various elements of creative writing and it's made me doubt my own writing: have I done this right or that 'properly.' I just have to remember that what is considered 'right' changes over time - even the rules of grammar change.... more

The Ballistics just don't jive with JFKs Wounds by David Ravenwood 11/16/2013 1:00:21 PM
Many people believe Oswald alone killed President Kennedy. They point to several facts: Oswald was the only employee who left the school book depository after the shooting, he was seen shooting Officer Tippet, finger prints were found on the rifle an... more

Not Yet by DeAnn Melton 10/31/2013 5:57:34 PM
Pat told us yesterday that Maxx isn't ready to compete in the November dressage show. He can do the canter pirouette to the right, but doesn't have the strength and comfort to do a canter pirouette to the left. From my understanding he stops, hops ar... more

Dad gets his 15 minutes of fame by David Ravenwood 10/26/2013 6:38:03 AM
Several people think the video of a six-year-old girl's dad imitating her tantrum is funny. I think it's sad. All that time and energy spent on the video could instead go toward training the daughter how to behave. Many people say all kids throw tant... more

Time Clicking Away by DeAnn Melton 10/22/2013 11:06:58 AM
There is a dressage show in late November. The entries are due the 25th of this month. We asked if Ellen & Maxx can be a late entry and what the last possible moment of an entry would be....the week of November 11th. Can he make the moves without str... more

A Few Good Leaders by David Ravenwood 10/20/2013 12:09:20 PM
I relearned a startling fact while rereading part of Sam Walton's biography. He constantly worked to improve by learning from other people. He would ask what he was doing wrong, even when no one had said he'd made a mistake. He applied all he learned... more

Bringing Maxx Back by DeAnn Melton 10/16/2013 2:17:08 PM
We are trying to bring Maxx back to his level of training before all this summer misery hit. Today Pat trained him and said that she couldn't feel any difference between the two hind legs SOOOO he is doing well! My standing joke is now he needs an ai... more

Dallas, Texas ISD Leadership by David Ravenwood 10/13/2013 5:47:12 PM
A teacher was let go a few years ago because a parent complained about the statues their child saw on a field trip. The teacher had asked permission from the principal to take them there. Permission was given. This could have ruined her career. But a... more
