Do you enjoy cosplay? Or dressing up as a superhero in your every day life? Boy, do I have the right thing for you! Equestrians on social media have been puzzling over the latest clothing launch from Maximilian Equestrian: a one piece riding suit. The shirt and the pants are one. They have been joined. It looks exactly like a catsuit f[...]
It was time for a vacation, so naturally we decided to travel back to the same place we went to last vacation: Iceland! We loved Iceland before, and this time we decided to take our oldest child. We considered bringing the boys too, but they are at an age when tantrums shows up really quick, and their attention span can be short, so it s[...]
I have finally completed a project that I dreamed up way back in 2010, when the internet was still in it's childhood. Or maybe its early 20's, honestly I'm not exactly sure how long Al Gore's internet has been around. At this point, I think Internet may be middle aged. But regardless of all that, I've had this dream for a really long t[...]
But, she's not wrong. It's amazing how much environment changes your thinking. One of the reasons I switched back to my old trainer (so, my current trainer) is because I knew she doesn't mess around. She's a tough coach, she doesn't mess around and she pushes students to actually ride the horse. Such a novel concept, I know. Who woul[...]
I saw a post and I just cannot get it out of my mind. Therefore, I'm coming here to talk about it, because I think it raises a broader question. The post was someone asking if they should purchase a horse that had attacked a person and literally ripped someone's finger off. While this was the first time the horse did that much damage,[...]
Summer is upon us, and it's time to spend every possible moment at the barn. I literally have! Which is really amazing, it's been a long time since I was such a barn rat. But I've been there every single day. Amazing. But it's made me realize that I don't have many riding shirts. It's not like I can wear the same one every day, as I come[...]
This is a depressing follow up to my last post. I actually never imagined that this would happen to me, but here we are, with a thankfully doing-well-now horse, and a dent of over $6k in my wallet. My horses have been mostly healthy. We've had a few minor colics, one gross cut, and that one time when Berry got stuck on a fence. I truly[...]
I moved Stu to a new barn. You should already know this if you follow my YouTube, which you'd better, OR ELSE (for legal reasons this is not a threat.) But if, for some reason, you missed that update, the rumor you just heard in the first paragraph is true. I moved him. This man has been to a lot of barns at this point. This time, I[...]
Horseback riding is expensive. Horses are expensive. Every conversation I have with a non-horse person seems to center around horses being expensive. It sometimes feels like I have to justify why I am spending money on horses, as it's such a frivolous thing to do, and there are real, grown up things I should be spending money on. But the[...]
It's only April, but I was hit with inspiration. Really, my kids gave me inspiration every day, and one day they started asking about ghosts. I've tried to make ghosts funny, as kids get scared of lots of things. They are young, they don't know how the world works, and their imaginations are going wild. Their big beautiful hearts[...]
