I did the thing…

I finally did it. I finally got to ride my horse last night. We just cruised around walk, trot, canter with the only intension of sitting there and enjoying it. I know he had three months off but I thought, "Why are you so stiff..." Oh wait... It's me, I'm the problem. This horse mirrors…

Ok. It’s Wednesday. 🐫

I really have been trying to work on getting those Tuesday night posts up. I missed my Friday night "writing prompt" post this past week too but in my defense, that hasn't completely locked in just yet. Plus I was exhausted and mega cranky so it would have had a very negative spin. My excuse…

Another Week

That blinking cursor gets me every time. Especially when there hasn't been any changes or exciting adventures to be had just yet. But I made myself a promise and it's Tuesday night so here we are. Another week has gone by and I'm just itching to ride. We got hit with a slight cold snap…

A Writing Prompt / Pt. 1

Describe the last difficult "goodbye" you said. Everyone says that saying "goodbye" is never easy. But I've never known it to be a permanent thing, even in death. Is it sad? Devastating even? Absolutely. But as time goes on you learn that in death and tragedy, amazing things could follow. I've been lucky enough not…

Day Late, A Few Dollars Short

I knew I was forgetting to do something last night as I stuffed a giant burrito into my mouth around 8:45 last night. Most definitely paying for that today. But I have news!! Great news!! Exciting news!! The boys and I have been selected as Brand Ambassadors for some of our favorite products. If you…

Stall Rest Continues…

There's a feeling of accomplishment when all the barn chores are done and the sun hasn't even made its way to our side of the world yet. Especially when you're at a DIY barn and you're out of there before the rest of the boarders show up. Just you and the horses. Dylan's morning lameness…

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)…

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…
