Chief Can't Trot With His Feet in High Grass (how is that for a show name?) … Continue reading Repetition Is Not A Bad Thing? At Least We Are Consistent

BRGHHH it got cold. I turned the heat on this am, I just can't work at home without it being a bit warmer than 60 degrees in the house especially when I have to go outside in the am to clean and feed in the barn.

I really wanted to get to Fair Hill this year but after weighing all the options and then finding out I have to be up there for work stuff in mid-November it seemed kind of silly to go both times.  I was driving … Continue reading Change of Plans, Oops

It is hot again. I want that crisp weather back thanks. The leaves are falling so if you look … Continue reading Fair Hill International?? Who Is Going?
