No Comments

So I just wanted to say that I have been catching up on everyone's posts but for some reason, whether you're WordPress or Blogger, my phone isn't letting me comment on anything! But at least if you're on WordPress, I can click the little "like" star button! Brantley is taking to "winter retirement" quite well.…

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)…

Singing and Eventing…

First off, I really think we need to appreciate #equestrianlife tanlines for a moment... I think there was one year that I wore shorts right out of the gate and thought I'd never see my legs this fluorescent again. Well hello there pale skin! Brantley and I had a pretty incredible clinic with Allison Springer…

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…

What is this? A Blog Post?

Why do I keep letting it go this long? Instagram to the rescue if you've been following along. We've been kicking butt in the arena minus some saddle fit issues and last weekend was our first schooling trial. And this guy was totally ready to kick some ass. I was mostly worried about dressage but…

And the World Turns…

Oh the weather outside is frightful. Actually, up until yesterday, it has been absolutely gorgeous! Even yesterday wasn't too bad minus the fact that it was so windy that a tractor-trailer rolled over on the Newport Bridge... Just a tad windy. Lots of power outages but luckily not at any of the houses that I'm…

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…

The Pet-Sitting Life

Let's talk self-employment. You have an idea to start a business. You have a game plan. You open a bank account. You follow up with clientele. And away you go. Your level of success is based on the amount of time and work you put in right? Sometimes it takes a few months. Sometimes a…

All Work, No Play

We used to adventure on a consistent basis but for some reason I've lost that. Same walks. Same neighborhoods... Over and over again. So on Saturday we went to the beach. I forget how lucky we are that we have just about everything in this tiny state within a 20-30 minute radius. It was cold…

Goodbye January

The last couple weeks were full of late night rides alone and with friends... Okay... Just one friend - Amanda and Red! Luckily we got in enough rides for me not to feel bad about lack of ride time this week. I truly can't believe January is just about over, but I'm glad because with…
