I know I’ve been quiet for a while, but this is only because I’ve been living my best life. Well, almost best life. Best life would mean I’m actually riding, which I am not. But, with my new photography business, I 100% have been living my best life. I want to go more in depth […]
What do you do when you have a nice dress and a horse? Obviously you combine the two for pictures! I’ve been practicing my photography on people for a while now, and I decided it was time to combine it with horses. I asked Olivia if she’d be willing to model with her horse Frankie, […]
I saw this, and I just had to share (again, since I shared it already on Facebook). This video is incredible! What beautiful scenery. What an adventure! What a cool woman to just go for it. I’m in awe of her! The pleasantries out of the way, I want to discuss this further, but it […]
I’ve been cleaning out my house a lot recently. I’ve discovered the easiest way to keep baby safe, and to have a clean house, is to just get rid of as much as I possibly can. Plus, I really crave a no-clutter look. I didn’t use to be like this, but now I can’t stand […]
Vintage has been retired so long, I’ve forgotten if I even chronicled her lameness. Basically, it all started many years ago when she jumped out of her stall window. She hurt her fetlock, and long story short, she went to the vet clinic, got a total evaluation, and injections made her sound. Long story short, […]
I started out with trying to work with Stu on the lunge, but I realized that he just really needs the ground work element to build upon. I’m moving forward on heavy ground workout for Stu, so I went to YouTube for some ideas. I’ve done groundwork before, but it was so long ago, back […]
Since I almost never talk seriously about Pony Man, you’d be forgiven for expecting that he’s just a random pony I picked up on the side of the road. Well, that’s only half true! He’s a random pony I picked up next to a breeder’s farm on the side of the road! But in all […]
Finally, I did it. I tacked up Berry, and I just got on and rode. I put on my stickiest breeches, pulled out the dressage saddle and tacked up. As I lunged Berry again, it came to me that there really wasn’t a way to make her easy. I’ve had her a long time, dealt […]
Stu is a dominant horse. It took me a surprisingly long time to realize this. There were many times I made excuses for his behavior. He’s a little bit slow, he doesn’t understand what I want, etc. etc. But what actually is taking place is he just doesn’t want to do it. He’s incredibly lazy, […]
My deck overlooks my pasture, and I’ve been wanting to experiment with getting overhead photos of the horses. One day the horses were hanging out by the deck so I seized my chance. While I didn’t get exactly what I was looking for, I love their reactions. Pony took the opportunity to show Stu that […]
