Originally I was planning on reviewing this movie like I’ve reviewed horse movies in the past – basically, pointing out all the absurd plot points and inaccurate horse information. But, this is actually a good movie, and I just can’t. I first saw this movie as a kid, and I loved it then. I loved […]
With a new movie coming, Dream Alliance is being thrust into the spotlight again. A horse, bred and raised in a former mining village in Wales, owned by working class owners, ended up winning the Welsh Grand National, and competing in some of the greatest steeplechases in the world. It was one of the most […]
I’m a big fan of internet learning. In this day and age, it is possible to learn about nearly anything on the internet, and video seems to be the number one format. From YouTube to LinkedIn Learning, knowledge has never been so accessable. Even top colleges now have online courses, and sometimes even complete programs […]
As a nature lover, I believe we have an obligation to take the best care possible of our world. I don’t mean this as a political thing, or a debate about climate change. I just love the natural beauty of the world, and I hate seeing it marred by trash and litter. A lot of […]
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 love helmet cam footage. My current favorite to watch are hunter paces. There’s great scenery, the horse is going fast, but not fast enough to fall like in fox hunting (usually anyway.) There should be more helmet cam footage out there! I need more to watch! Therefore, I am encouraging everyone to go buy […]
The weather here has been SO NICE recently! Such a nice change from the frozen wasteland of a few weeks ago. I really hope the rest of this winter is very mild. I have things to do, horses to ride, grass to grow. When I got back from Florida a few weeks ago, I had […]
Way back in September of 2015, I learned of an incredible device that would allow me to record my riding without the assistance of someone else. The SoloShot 3, the automatic cameraman that tracks you and pans to follow you around as you ride. What an incredible invention, especially for someone who loves recording every […]
The Illumiseen Breastplate collar is a nylon breastplate with LED lights lining it. The lights have three settings: steady, blinking slow, and blinking fast. Illumiseen created this breastplate to increase horse visibility, and they succeed, these lights are bright. Illumiseen reached out to me, asking if I would like one to review, and I enthusiastically […]
I read The Saddle Club growing up, and I loved them. I don’t think I read every single one of them, but I read at least 60% of them. They were great for a kid fantasizing about having her own horse. I even loved that their vague location of, “40 minutes outside of DC in […]
