Of course we went to the Maryland Renaissance Fair this year. Of course. We started out by getting food/wine. Sure, it might have only been like 11am, but Dave had been talking up those turkey legs, so there was a small demand for them. Then everyone got to watch me get my hair braided. Luckily we brought patient people who didn't mind[...]

First things first - after Saturday's classes, kind hearted Dave decided that Berry's girth was pinching her, and we must get her a new girth immediately. This may have been the case, as she was a super good girl using her new girth, so I'm glad we got it. But I also got this snazzy new helmet. The tack store bought a bunch of protypes[...]
This past weekend was the Old People Riding Club Rally. It was a great reason to spend very little money and get Berry some show experience. She was a little crazy the first day, but on the second day, she was acting like it was nothing. She was such a good girl! The first day was probably 50 degrees and windy, so of course I felt like[...]
I had a work thing last week. I'm sorry! It involved three 12 hour days, but the good thing about that was, I only worked three and a half days. Then I went up to Ohio for a wedding. But now that I'm back, there are things that need discussing. Before the terrible rain last week that washed out part of my arena, I was having a grand ti[...]
I get so excited watching these horse movies. Now it's time for yet another one! Sadly, this one was actually pretty minimal on actual horse interaction, and I'm going to (grudgingly) admit it's really not that bad of a movie. If you like stories of criminal teenagers getting their acts together, especially by means of (barely) interacti[...]
Really it's only the two personalities, but multiple sounds better next to mare. Last night I rode in my arena for the first time, and Vintage decided to pull out crazy mare. Crazy mare usually happens when she hasn't been ridden in a while, and she will become hot and excitable, taking every aid as MORE ENERGY!! Since I actually rode her[...]
Only just under 2 months after expected delivery date!!! Since I'm so excited, here it is from a variety of angles! O-M-G I am so excited!! I was becoming so excited and giddy, I started singing while dragging it, but luckily no one was harmed because the tractor noise drowned it out. If only it hadn't been late and getting dark[...]
This movie just came out, and should not be lumped in with the Black Beauty from the 90's, because that one was pretty awesome. This one... I don't even know. But if you want to be included in my confusion/amusement, read on! But be warned, there was so much ??? that this is a long post. Our story begins with the local beautiful inside a[...]
Wordpress tells me I have now been blogging for one year (as of yesterday). Hurrahs all around! When I started this blog, I wasn't really sure of what I wanted to do, I just wanted to write. I thought it might end up being an "Outfit of the Day" type deal, because I love looking at those kinds of blogs and with the sheer amount of clot[...]
After a tiring few weeks, I'm feeling much better. I even rode Vintage! In an effort to make taking care of my horses easier, I let them in the my backyard, so they are literally only steps away. But, because I own a Weirdo Horse (TM), it turns out this does not make everything/anything easier. We returned from an outing to fin[...]
