Baby’s First Pony Ride

It seems like just days ago she was born, and now she's hit another milestone - her first pony ride!!! She's been born in another way: introduced to the wonder of riding.  Naturally, she has already been around horses, since she lives on a horse farm, but I have never let he[...]

DM for Credit

I am on Instagram a lot. I like visuals, and it's the perfect platform for me.  I keep seeing this over and over again, usually on those accounts that "feature" other user's photos, but also on businesses, like @theecofriendlyhorse.  "DM for Credit" They found a picture they liked, decide[...]

The Brief – July 24, 2020

It's been a while since the last check in! Boy, does time fly! My toddler is now a super active toddler, and she's a lot to keep up with. At least she understands most of what I say. Sometimes, she even listens!  Actually, it's pretty funny when Dave and I are talking about something, and she[...]

Equine Couture Satin All Purpose Saddle Pad Review

I'll be upfront and say I've always been a fan of Equine Couture because their products are so pretty and fashion forward. I already own a few of their saddle pads and apparel.  Breeches.com sent me the Equine Couture Satin All Purpose Saddle Pad to review. I received the plum color, which now[...]

Reminiscing…

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 having a cluttered house, or a d[...]

Vintage, the Horse Model

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 s[...]

TuffRider Tatum Tights Review

As part of my partnership with Breeches.com, I was sent the TuffRider Tatum Tights. The tights retail for $53.95, are available in charcoal/black and wine/black, and come in sizes XS - XL. These tights are very lightweight. When I first pulled them out, I thought they might be too lightweig[...]

Family Time

It has been a busy few weeks. Grandma came up to stay and watch Bridgette, giving me time to get things done. We did some housework, I'm riding regularly, and we had family time! I ended up so busy, I didn't get to blog as much as I would have liked. Unfortunately I only get childcare sparingly, es[...]

Ground Work for the Dominant Horse

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 when I was a te[...]
