Today our local trail club was having a hike and potluck. There was also a trail ride early in the morning, but it was one of those times where my trailer decided it did not want to participate, and expressed this by shutting off all its electronics. I stared at it for at least 15 minutes, but could not figure out what was wrong, so I ca[...]

I had another riding lesson last night, except... it was not on my horse. I have managed to not say anything in front of my horses, but I think they'll figure it out next time I ride them, because I had an awesome lesson, and I feel like a better rider. Because I have become a defensive rider due to my high energy mare, it was nice to[...]
I had decided I would rather ride hunter style, because I want to jump. So I made the plunge, and scheduled a lesson with a local instructor. And of course, I had an amazing time! It's been a long time since I've actually riden, and even longer since I took a lesson. So naturally, I was terrible. Also, I rode dressage, and this is hunter[...]
Earlier, I introduced my pony, and my training method. Now after several months, I've decided its time to continue training the pony. For your pony to be considered trained, it has to be able to pose for photo shoots. After all, that is the main thing ponies are used for. Take your pony and a good friend to a field, and start taking phot[...]
This past weekend, I went down to Knoxville, Tennessee to stroll casually along through the city and get color thrown on me. It was more fun that I'm leading you to be believe. I ran/jaunted it with a very wonderful person, but in an effort to protect her privacy, I'm going to keep her out of some photos. She doesn't like being circulat[...]
March has been kind of terrible, health wise. First my poor little doggie got sick, and had to be hospitalized. She was never spayed, so her uterus became infected and if it had ruptured, she would have died. We got her to the vet in time, but I still feel like a terrible person for not spaying her. It was one of those things I put off be[...]
I could not resist the temptation any longer. I bought chicks from Tractor Supply. I think I went a little overboard. I bought 6 silkies, and 5 others that I am not sure of their breeds. 11 chicks!! I am planning on giving about half of them to my neighbor. We usually split a purchase of chicks every year, although this year she is[...]
It snowed over the weekend. So naturally, we were the terrible neighbors that ruined everyone's peaceful snow day. Dave just got a second ATV. We had to take it out. We had a grand adventure! For about 20 minutes anyway... But as it turns out, while these helmets might protect our head in the event of a fall, they did nothing t[...]
