I was working one day, taking photos are a client's barn when it dawned on me that the client's barn had children's toys by the arena. There were tables set up for children to eat. In fact, that barn had literal children scattered on the property, an entire children's riding program. My current bar[...]
There are times where I wonder why I still have horses. My life seems complicated enough as it is, and then add that I have three horses spread out on two different properties, all the expense of keeping them, all the time spent caring for them, and all the frustration they add into my life, it jus[...]

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.
