Jeanne Robinson has cancer. Not the easy to get rid of kind. She has the kind that strips away so much, and costs so much, in body, mind, soul and cold hard cash.

Go to Boing Boing for more information.

I Hate Your Horse: http://ihateyourhorse.blogspot.com/
and
Acacia: http://wildacacia.blogspot.com/

Same woman, but different focus for each.

I Hate Your Horse highlights the problems in the horse world, in terms of stupid people and the stupid things they do, good bad and just plain annoying.

Acacia is a Mustang being trained as part of the Mustang Challenge:

“Acacia is a four yr old Black Bay mare who came from the Three Sisters Herd. She was captured as a yearling and has been living at the BLM ever since…This is her chance to teach me…”

I enjoy both of these greatly. Hope you do too!

I do! (I am @gracefulshrimp) and I met Larissa Cox (@ridingcoach) through there. Larissa has some awesome links and posts and her own blog. Well, I was beyond honored and thrilled when Larissa asked me to participate in her “Real Riders” series. She is going to be having riders from all over write their story of how they came to be riders, what they love most about it and include photos of their horses.
Here is my story at, TalkAndTalk.wordpress.com.

Head on over and take a peek. She has other links and stories on her site, so read away!

We did a 5-day Carnival Easter Caribbean cruise, and it rocked. You can see my Flickr set here. It was amazing and beautiful and I loved it!
