Although the above picture isn't actually the twins, even if they look more alike than the actual twins. David and Alex, the actual twins, aren't twinning so well, but they are growing up into little boys! They aren't just babies anymore! They both walk and mutter little spells as they wander around. Twin with Bridgette O[...]
Many people dream of owning a horse. I can understand the appeal, they are amazing animals and I have had the best moments of my life with them. So it isn't uncommon to see this question posted online. It's some variation of this: I am thinking of buying some land and getting a horse. How do I get started? What do I need to know?[...]
For thousands of years, humans have cared for horse hooves. We trimmed them, and stuck all sorts of things on their feet in an effort to make them not fall to pieces. There have been leather shoes, a trendy moment until 1000 AD for bronze shoes, and the for the longest time, iron shoes were the norm. Eventually, we switched to steel or a[...]
I love photographing Sync Equestrian clothing, so I just had to share my latest shoot. I am in love with these breeches, they are polished and classy, and so incredibly beautiful. They are a classic navy, with understated silver detailing, and really flatting seam lines. They are made with a flattering compression fabric that smooths eve[...]
When I did the trial ride for my very first horse, I took him outside of the ring. I had already ridden inside of the tiny arena, but for whatever reason, the owner suggested I go ride in her field. I went out there, exploring the small wooded paddock, and when I turned around, Clay picked up a canter. It wasn't fast, he was a pretty slo[...]
Owning a horse is a popular dream. If you're here, it's probably because you've always dreamed of having your own horse, and you want to find a way to make it a reality. I wanted to share my tips of how to have an affordable horse, based on my decades of owning horses. I've keep horses at home and I've boarded, and I'm extremely cost con[...]
Horses cost money. In fact, horses are well known for costing money, it's basically one of their defining characteristics. Tell someone you have horses, and the first thing they say is, "Oh, must be expensive," or some variation of that. And then somewhere in the conversation, we mention how the cost comes from the upkeep, and not[...]
I've been wearing Sync for a while now, so it's time for the review! Full disclosure, I am a regular photographer for Sync. I do a lot of their e-commerce photos, and more styled fashion shoots. It's a woman=run company, and the positivity and fun we have on set makes them one of my favorite clients. But, even if I didn't know them[...]
I moved to a new barn at the beginning of January. Stu was at the previous barn about three months, and it was three months of mostly frustration. I didn't even want to go see him because I wasn't having fun. There were definitely a few rides that felt wonderful, but the majority felt like I was making no progress and I wasn't feeling co[...]
I, Courtney, am addicted to sugar. I love it. I will devour just about anything with sugar on it. When I mean devour, I really mean devour. I am the person at parties who goes back for a second slice of cake, and if I can sneak it, a third piece. In fact, I'd probably eat the whole cake by myself if there weren't people around. Yes[...]
