Wild, Wonderful Welly World

I can’t believe I am subjecting myself to a second dose of this crazy place, but I will admit that it’s awfully fun here. California has the geography, but a bit too much of it, which means that, except during shows, everyone is off doing

MIA in Welly World

Hi all. Sorry for the lack of entertainment on Wednesday, but the intense schedule – work and social – got the better of me this week. Some people like to see me at 7:15 am, while it’s cool and quiet at the barn. And then it’s
