I'm a little bit creeped out by things in my barn now. There was a terror in there, it might have been a raccoon, but chances are equally great it was a ghost. It just so happens I was just talking to my friend about her ghost hunting adventure and I made a point of saying I don't believe, so I wond[...]
I did not expect this, but Dave has found true love in the form of a goat. The goat was super awesome. Apparently it was bottle fed, which makes it super friendly. It acted more like a dog than any goat I've ever been around (granted, I haven't been around many/any). Dave wanted to j[...]
The horses are really picky about what they will eat, so they basically force me to buy this stuff. I tried giving them sticks, and small bits of lumber, but they didn't seem to think those were food. They will eat the processed pellets I provide, but they are so expensive, I decided to give hay[...]
Roopert had ruled over his kingdom for several years. He felt secure in his position but he was always on the lookout for threats to his crown. He made sure that all who entered his kingdom knew his absolute power. His main political rival had been Red. Red had appeared one day, and by birth[...]
I hate that there is still snow covering my property. My arena is still covered in snow. My trailer is still surrounded by snow. My trainer hasn't confirmed that her arena is uncovered, so I'm assuming she is still covered in snow too. Dave is lamenting that I was making riding progress, and[...]
It finally stopped snowing. Hurrahs are in order. Friday afternoon Saturday There was lots and lots of snow, and lots and lots of wind. Dave and I dug lots of paths, but after realizing how far away my barn is from my house, I decided it was easier to just struggle through t[...]
Really, I'm just waiting for winter to be over with. Although I'm sure I'm repeating what nearly everyone is thinking. It's too cold, my arena is frozen, my trainer's arena is frozen, I missed my last lesson because Dave let out the air in the truck tires (sabotage?!), and then every time I[...]
All of last week, I was eagerly awaiting my show on Sunday. It would be my first show in a while, my first with my trainer, and my first true hunter show. My trainer thought it was a good idea to enter in the flat classes, school her over the jumps in the warm up, and see how she does. There was no[...]
Maybe you have or had parents that would respond to your pleas of horses with "Do you have any idea how much care they take?!" I don't think many of them actually know though, other than the generic "You'll have to shovel poop!" (the horrors!) I don't find my horses had to take care of. It's not[...]
Friday was a day of adventure for all my equine companions, each more successful than the last. So we will start with the least accomplished and move our way up. Pony Man When I went to my lesson on Friday, I loaded up Pony Man and took him with me. He paused to look in the trailer (something he's[...]
