Tuesdays

Promising yourself that you're going to do something at least once a week is always harder than you would think. But here we are, a blog post by Tuesday night. I might even finish up before this migraine really starts to roll in. The weather has been prime for ponies this week and while one…

Another Year

How did we get here? Thinking again that it's almost been a whole year since my last post and so much has happened. Okay, that's a lie. Nothing really has happened any differently. A quiet year with a few hunter paces in between. Long days and inner battles, but we may finally be on the…

Absolute Craziness

Well then... This has been a bit of a hiatus full of craziness. Number one reason for not posting was the lack of computer and WiFi passwords at all of the houses that I've been staying at... Number two reason is well... J... It's hard to stare at a computer screen (that was non-existent anyway)…

Course Brook 5.27.18 – Dressage

Being the winner of the warm-up is a real thing. I always laughed when I heard people say it but then, that's exactly what we've become. The key has been to only give myself about 15 minutes to warm-up that way I don't psych myself out and Brantley doesn't think his job is done. Of…

Keep Calm…

Figured I would do a little blogging while I sip this cup of super hot tea. Anyone else out there tea drinkers? I go through waves where I drink a lot and I'm not quite sure if it helps me sleep or not but it sure doesn't hurt. And it's a little bit better for…

And We’re Back!

  Sometimes I just like to spend time in the dirt with my own thoughts listening to the wind howl through the cracks in the indoor. Safest place to sit? Probably not. But there's something incredibly comforting knowing that even though there are scary monsters out there this time of year... he'd rather just sit…

Catching Zzzz in Negative Temps

First off, I wanted to put a shout out to my Blogger Secret Santa Emilie from Because Pony. I'm always amazed how talented this group of bloggers are. Thank you so much for this! I can't wait to see what else you have in store! Right now she is having a sale to support some…

Holiday Countdown

When I pack up after a long week of overnights, I always mumble and grumble asking myself why. Why am I doing this? Why did I pick this? Will I ever sleep in my own bed again... Or hell... Will I ever have my own apartment at this point? But I turned around this time…

Lost…

A little lost... I've definitely ridden Cody more than my own horse. You'd think I could say, "Well at least I'm in the saddle" but mentally, it's not the same. Although having my little shadow with me is a definite plus, it's not the same. I keep burying myself in work and not even purposely.…

Some Saddle Time

Thanksgiving always brings late nights and early mornings... Too late... And too early. I think I averaged about 3.5 hours of sleep from Wednesday through Monday morning. Thanksgiving Day wasn't even the craziest of days... It was more the weekend. You don't really think about how much people travel that time of year but holy…
