A life with/for/about horses
I spend a lot of time at the barn, but during work this past weekend, I spent more than usual, so I got to see all sorts of fun stuff. At one point I was driving the tractor out and I accidentally disturbed a next of field mice. The mom bolted with some babies still […]
The barn has needed repairs since we moved in, which embarrassingly, was 7 years ago. It took a while to work through the procrastination. But, now that I’ve started, I’m very excited to continue, and all I want to do it keep working on it. It’s really not that hard, and it’s so rewarding to […]
It’s been a while since I rode. The last time was at a polo lesson last August. The last time I rode Berry was a few months before that, although I can’t remember exactly when it was. Late Spring, I would guess. I hadn’t been riding Berry because of the trailering incident. I probably rode […]
Israeli showjumper, Danielle Waldman (formerly Goldstein) recently wore a lace jacket to compete in the Longines Global Champions Tour final in New York. The equestrian was formerly known for her colorful feathers woven into her hair, as well as being ranked 40th in the world for Showjumping. The feathers stayed in, of course, a cascade […]
Stu is now a big two year old. He’s spent the last year of his life basically being feral. He got some basic training at his breeder’s farm, and then I worked with him a few times until I got pregnant and he kicked me twice, like a little shit. I decided it was too […]
Ever had a week where it just feels like there’s too much going on, and existance is just so hard? That was me this last week. I need to get back in the groove though, and keep moving onward! So let’s get back into it with the weekly round up! Farm Work It feels like […]
Apparently I’ve always been a klutz. My mom said when she took me to the doctor as a baby she had to convince them those bruises really are because I’m really clumsy. He walked with her to the car as I played on a foot tall concrete wall. Right in front of him I tripped […]
I will start by saying I’m not a fan of the traditional selfie style photo. The one where you just stretch your arm out with the front facing camera open, and snap the photo. Major dislike. Especially dislike when I see the same person posting basically the exact same selfie photo over, and over, and […]
I have plans, BIG PLANS. Well, no, maybe medium sized at best. But my plans involve getting some planting done. There’s a few areas around my house that need sprucing up (although not with spruce trees, they are too big), and I want to put in plants around the barn. I’m not very good at […]
Helmets I ordered my new helmet, and am eagarly awaiting it’s arrival. It’s taking a little bit longer than I expected… maybe today it’ll get here? I definitely need a new helmet. I tried on my old helmet and I’m shocked at how loose it is. I don’t think there’s any protection left there. I […]
