Berry's birthday was yesterday. She is now 7 years old. Pony was a bit disgruntled, possibly because I completely forgot about his birthday. His birthday was exactly one week ago. He just turned 5. Sorry Pony. I'll do something for you at a later time. Not that he would appreciate it, of course. It was surprisingly difficult to[...]
After an extensive study, I have concluded the following: Inconclusive if barn chores count as working out. Heard frequent comments that it should be counted, with the proof that one usually needs a shower afterward. Further studies to follow.[...]
People keep offering me their horses. Only the title is actually misleading, they aren't offered them to me to keep, most of the time, they are offering for me to take their horse to care for it, until they are ready to come get it. As though I won't mind at all, what's one more horse to take care of? There was one time I didn't mind.[...]
The above picture cracks me up. It just looks so casual, like I'm not even moving, just relaxing - "Oh hey guys, what you are up to? I'm just sitting on this horse here, I'll probably be finished about noon." I feel like I'll never shut up about these dang lead changes. I still don't have confirmed changes, although I am getting bette[...]
Everyone loves socks. At least, everyone normal does. If you don't, you must be some kind of crazy person who likes blisters. I do not like blisters, so I like socks. And, obviously, I like nice socks, so when Sox Trot offered me socks to review, I was all over that. Socks, just like riding boots, can be painful for me to buy be[...]
I went to another show! Yet another reason I'm so glad I have my trailer back. To make this show especially great, it was located about 15 minutes from my house. No more hour and a half trips for me (for now)! It was cold. Way colder than it should be in May. Berry had also been in the last 16 hours in an attempt to keep her clean. Thi[...]
If you use wordpress.com right now, you will love wordpress.org much, much more. I don't know about blogger or any others, but WordPress is seriously amazing. There's tons more options, there's way more customization, and tons and tons of plugins to do anything you could possiblly want. Using wordpress.org is identical to using your curre[...]
Let's start with a follow up to my whining post about being covered in mud, because I got to have more fun, covered in mud. I may have made a gross, muddy mess of the edge of my arena, but the important thing is now there's a nice ditch around my arena. Hopefully this will be enough to divert the abundance of rain we have coming ou[...]
I've had this draft sitting since January. At first I was super excited because it had just come out, and I was going to be the first to make fun of review it. But now it's been months, and I may or may not be the first. But anyway, here are my thoughts, with some revisions since the first time I wrote it! Revisions that you won't notice[...]
Say Florida Sandy, I've found, almost always throws a big dark bay. Good moving horses. Usually very born broke types. That probably has to do with Private Account, who seems to shine through even generations later. Source I was casually reading the forums today, when this peaked my interest. Say Florida Sandy was a New York bred race[...]
