Episode 2, PVC Pipes and Horses? Dakota Lee explains…
02.26.09
Who knew a PVC pipe could be used in so many ways! Dakota Lee, teen author of her book, Flash of Freedom, talks about her experience at the barn with a horse injury. A young mare, Wysteria, walked up to her owner with a bad cut on her knee. Dakota was at the barn and able to take the ride to the vet. After stitching up the knee, and wrapping it, they brought out the PVC pipe sliced lengthwise. They used it on either side of the front leg to stablized the use of the knee during healing. Then they wrapped it up again. Wysteria is on stall rest and is restless indeed! Dakota shows how it was all done. In a future episode, Dakota shows the results of the healing and explains in more detail about the wound. Stay tuned! Subscribe to her feed and as always, please leave your comments!!

Howdy from the TN Guest Ranch! Mom and I love the site and wanted to congratulate you on your book! Look forward to hearing all about everything when you come to National Horse Camp this summer. We will be ordering several books for the school!!
Your brother in Christ,
Bryce Young
P.S. See you in a few months!
hey dakota! Forgive me, i dont really know where to comment. Im sorry i have only just started you book, but it really good and i cant help but share one opinion.
I can relate to moving around alot. But what i really thought was pretty cool was the way you compared school-popularity to a monarchy. I agree with it for the most part but i do have to say that i believe there are more than the catagores given i believe maybe groups can change more easily than said.
idk this whole comment your probably thinking who cares its just a book everyone has opinions.
But i think in reality there are no ‘groups’ no boundries. You built or placed all the obsticals before you. You can be as free as you want to be i think tara holds back to much she needs to loosen up and enjoy everything as it comes. Im talking as if shes a real person. As Janus Japlon says, “freedom is ONLY having nothing to lose.”
I think the Jocks (or jerks) as she refered to them, are really just funny guys who arent afraid to say whats on thier mind or show thier personality. I think the Dudes, are just guys who like the jocks do what they love -skating- and biuld around that. The populars are people i think who people believe since they have ‘groupies’ and most of the time $money they get labled as you put stuck up and rude. And if you lable someone like that long enough they can become that just as fast. I think the groupies are scared of who they are and really just shy and scared and need someone to hide behind but can be them selves if you give them time. I think the brains well are how you put them exactly centeralized around a book. I think the ordanaries are almost the people who are able to break free. but i think the people to really break free of the monarchy are the people who can execpt all the catagories relieze they are all indaviduals and they have personalitys, life is how you play it out. YOU WANT BLUE HAIR GET BLUE HAIR! Be yourself is all im saying is what tara needs to do, dont care for a secound what others think the past is the past and the futchure you decide.

Thanks to Coka Coola and Bryce Young for commenting.
Coka Coola- Dude, I can tell you are one heavy thinker! But don’t worry because I enjoy intelligent answers. They make me think and make my books more interesting. Don’t be surprised if those ideas seem to be in the next book.
Bryce Young- Hey Bryce! I get so excited whenever I hear from you guys over in TN. It makes me think of all the fun I have whenever I go, and now I sometimes find myself sitting, staring out the window wishing I was over there. I can’t wait!
Glad you liked the site, it took lots of careful planning to get it right. And after all your family has done to help me in my riding, I’m glad I can help with the academic side of things.
Thanks Dasha for commenting.
To answer all of your questions, all you have to do is go to my website (www.DakotaLee.com). On the question about boarding horses, yeah it does cost a lot of money. Usually boarding money is paid monthly, and the prices can range from $75 (the lowest I’ve ever heard of anyway) to thousands of dollars. It’s never buying the horse that kills you, but all the maintenance fees.
hey if u use some of my ideas give me credit kay? im not really a heavy thinker, lol. but thanx anyway
Cola,
Sure, no problem with the credit. And if your not a heavy thinker than you must like to type!

Hi, cool post. I have been thinking about this issue,so thanks for sharing. I’ll likely be subscribing to your blog. Keep up the good posts
With this Diet(…), I thank you for commenting.
Glad you like it, and it was very interesting. I will let you know that Wisteria is fully recovered, and nothing still effects her from that injury. So she can still go to shows!
