The longer that I have Izzy, the more mature and self-suffering Speedy seems to get. Speedy's eleventh birthday is in a few days which no doubt means that he has finally become an adult. I guess "kids" (while not his own, he certainly has to put up with Izzy's presence) and a full time job will do that to you. Speedy prefers the openness of the barn's aisle as opposed to being cross tied in the confines of the boxed-in cross tie area. Lately though, I think he's rethinking that situation. Izzy finds it highly entertaining to ensure that Speedy truly can't go anywhere.  Ho hum ... hanging out.  What does this go to?  Is it even plugged in?  Hey! That's what it turns on!!! Poor Speedy G ...

Ha! He reminds me of a kids in the back seat of a car poking at each other. Speedy's all "QUIT TOUCHING ME!!!" 4/11/2015 12:30:35 am
HAHAHA!!!! That's exactly what it's like! And no matter matter how much I tell him to QUIT IT!, Izzy just comes back for more. Just like kids. ;0)

About the Writer and RiderI am a lifelong rider.
I began endurance riding in 1996 where I ultimately completed five, one-day 100 mile races, the 200-mile Death Valley Encounter, and numerous other 50, 65, and 75 mile races. I began showing dressage in 2010. Welcome to my dressage journey.
