I have a case of Anglophile this week... first with their television shows, and now their clothing. To further this, today I'm using a wool wrap that my parents brought back for me from their trip to Britan this past spring. Sure, it's super itchy, and also only like 70 degrees outside, but it is important to me to fully celebrate my Brit[...]
Despite my laments earlier that KP's Pony Club was only in Britain, I found it. It can be found easily on YouTube. I am moderately fulfilled now that I have seen the first three episodes. Usually, I'm a terrible person and snark heavily on horse movies because they are terrible, awful, unrealistic things. This show, shockingly, is not[...]
I have a case of the summertime blues. My motivation level is almost zero. It's always weird to me that as riders and horse lovers we love these animals and riding more than anything, but sometimes, don't feel inclined to ride. At all. Some, who may not be feeling this way at the moment, might gasp in shock, and declare they would never t[...]
It's that time of year again - Time for me to set aside my horse-ing so we can do something Dave enjoys. The Maryland Renaissance Festival is the second largest in the country. It just started this last weekend and runs for the next 8 weekends. This past weekend had the theme of "Children's Weekend", but it seemed to contain an aver[...]
There's no hidden meaning here, this is a post about Baked Garlic Asparagus. Sometimes I become obsessed with something, and then I have to share it with the whole world. In this case, it is Baked Garlic Asparagus. If you don't like asparagus, or don't like cooking it, or are morally opposed to asparagus, you won't be after this recipe. I[...]
Now the thrilling conclusion of the TTouch Blog Mini Series. I only have three equines, so I can only do so much with this topic. Today's contestant: Pony Man, a 5-year-old, medium sized pony with a heart filled with arrogance, and cowardliness, in equal measures. He enjoys galloping up to greet people, or hiding behind trees, sobbing[...]
Katie Price is a British reality show celebrity, with a ready for TV drama filled life. I'm not a fan of reality TV shows, but throw in horses, and yes, I absolutely am a fan! I don't care if it's good, or terrible, I want to watch this so badly! What do we need to do to get this to the U.S.?! This is the best video to describe exactl[...]
This is the second try to determine if the TTouch characteristic evaluations can accurately determine a horse's personality. Vintage was the first try, and did not leave me convinced. Just like the psychics you can call, the information given was vague, with a few accurate bits, and that's just not good enough. Subject: Berry, 7 year ol[...]
Warning: This post contains nothing related to horses, and is completely comprised of selfies of my hair. Breaking News: I got a haircut. This may not seem like news, but I hate going to salons because it always takes forever, so I rarely get my hair cut. Maybe once a year. Yes, I do often have split ends, but it's worth it to avoid an[...]
Many years ago, when I was a wee child, I had no horse, and therefore, I devored every horse book I could find. One of them was Getting in TTouch: Understand and Influence Your Horse's Personality. I loved it. It talked about interpreting your horse's personality based on appearance, and ways to influence your horse's personality. It wasÂ[...]
