First Rides

We did it. We had our first ride off property in almost a year. I tried to play it off like I wasn't nervous, but between being a raging *insert bad word here* the night before and then proceeding to dry heave in between mounting attempts, you could tell. I know that once I'm in…

Bombs Away

Something a horse person never really wants to pick up from CVS... That and epsom salts. It's just a sign of lots of swearing to come as well as being splashed in the face with a used-to-be warm betadine/water solution. Throw some icthammol ointment in there and you've got yourself a party for sure. Unfortunately…

This Is 33.

"Do not complain about growing old. It is a privilege denied to many." - Mark Twain I've never complained about growing older before. It's always been more of a question and wonder that I made it. Another year getting through what life throws at me while picking up whatever I can, and running with it.…

Stability

There's something to be said about having a 9-5 job. It's different that's for sure but being able to shut down when your shift is over has been a magnificent and much needed change for me. We are also still just in training but I'm excited to get on the floor and start on the…

Let The Year Begin

Sometimes you order something soft and adorable off Amazon trusting that the description is real because you know, it's not like you're blindly ordering off of Wish. You trust that it was made for you since it says "women's" even though you find out it definitely fits your dog better than it fits you... and…

A Quiet Christmas

Stella in all her winter glory Finally a bit of snow to get excited about! It almost lasted until Christmas but at least I got a good fix before the warm weather came back. I'm that weird horse girl where yeah, ice and snow at the barn can be a complete pain in the butt…

Peace Out 2020

Okay, we've got a couple weeks left to get through but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Trying to stay positive in the uprise of panic and uncertainty truly is exhausting and we're all in it together. We're all sitting here hoping 2021 will bring on something amazing even if it's…

Out of the Dark

Everything my brain has put my body through over the last few weeks seems so small now in comparison to what the world is dealing with. Finding the words to write and say my piece is proving more difficult than I had assumed. Especially when you're trying to sound more knowledgeable and up to date…

Insecurities

It's getting warm out there which means it's time to tuck those jackets away and rub on the extra deodorant so you can still hide under that sweatshirt. Or at least that's how I feel right now. Unfortunately the other day it was definitely too warm for a sweatshirt and that cued those early season…

Cold Snap ❄

First Covid-19, then Murder Hornets, and then a massive cold snap and possible snow storm? Okay 2020, take it easy. Luckily we only got some slight flurries on Saturday but the 30° windchill and what felt like 50mph gusts, it was pretty awful. Especially since we were coming down quick from almost 70° gorgeous sunny…
