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…

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…

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.…

6 Years Ago…

I want to say that I can't believe it's been 6 years but honestly I can't believe that it hasn't been longer. It feels like forever ago I got the "free horse" call... I still remember the first time I saw you. Scared. Worried. Completely broken. Just like me. I didn't know in that moment…

Downtime

After the trial last weekend we definitely took it easy the following week. I went out for a couple great trail rides with the pup in tow and for once Brantley seemed completely content just standing and talking to strangers for a bit which is new. Usually he'll dance around wanting to keep walking but…

Still A Little High

I'm still a little high from Sunday... ridiculous I know. But can you blame me? Look at my boy... he's so happy and ready to get sh*t done. We haven't been doing too much this week. Monday came around and the farrier showed up. I guess I forgot an appointment that we made last week?…
