A life with/for/about horses
Did I ever mention I love wild turkeys? Not to eat or to hunt, but just to look at. I did not have any affection for turkeys before I moved out here, but now ever time I see them I stop dead to stare at them. Seeing them is like seeing a beautiful sunrise on […]
This is the most exciting development since baby was born – I can now bring her down to the barn! I finally put up some fencing to make a little area where Bridgette can sit in her stroller and be safe from the horses. It’s not complete yet, as it turns out it is harder […]
Terri Crowley is a different kind of artist, embracing technology to create one-of-a-kind paintings. By using a combination of digital and traditional tools she creates a one-of-a-kind original art piece. She begins with a pen and a tablet, painting on a digital canvas. When the digital work is completed, it is printed out on a […]
The compilation video of all the show jumping.
It’s the last week of August! The air is already getting colder, and fall is approaching. Time to bring out the pumkin spice lattes! Just kidding, those things are gross.

Ah, another year, another Great Meadow International. I believe that’s the saying. I love that Great Meadow hosts so many events, primarily because it’s minutes away from my house. It really makes it convenient when world class competition and events literally come to me. Now that I have B, getting out of the house is […]
Did you ever play horse video games as a kid, dreaming of riding your own horse? The controls were clunky, the graphics poor, and the horse mechanics were often messy, but it was the best you had, so you played it anyway. I used to imagine the button press coinciding with the jump really would […]
She’s five months already!? How is this possible!? She doesn’t even seem like a baby anymore, just a small person. It may seem weird to describe her like that, as she clearly still looks like a baby, but she has become so big, and she seems so intelligent. I’m sure every parent says their baby […]
We’ve all heard the long running joke that actually riding horses is a very small part of having horses. And here’s my latest example. Still haven’t ridden since last summer, and I spent my free days doing farm work. It just needs to be done. But it’s setting me up to be able to groom/tack […]
