I've never done a BlogHop, but this seemed fun. Thank you That Red Mare! 1. Mares or Geldings? Why? I love mares! I feel like I get along very well with them, and I love my two mares. Although my gelding is pretty cute too... So now I'm having second thoughts. But given two equal horses, I wou[...]

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 on[...]
I have been quiet for a while, and that is partially because I was given new responsibilities at work that consume much of my time. After work, I'm just so tired. I'm making an effort to write regularly again, starting with an overview of the last few weeks. There's the good, and the not so good, so[...]
I have been slow to update, but I don't have anything to talk about anyway. I didn't even have a lesson this week because I had to go to a work meeting. Dang work, always interfering with my riding. So all I have been doing is working on my arena (and sleeping). Last weekend, the arena was finally[...]
After spending all my free time on the bobcat, I feel like I've reached a new level of awareness. It's like a form of meditation, as long as it involves being covered with dirt and dust at the end (I don't follow those hippie lifestyles, so this could be entirely possible.)

Step one, which was by far the most annoying step because I hadn't considered it prior, and it took the most physical labor, was removing all the random objects that[...]
I haven't finished talking about horses this week, but I'm taking a break from horses to talk about chickens. My little baby chickens are growing up. Luckily my neighbor took some of the chicks so I only have 6 of them now, but that is actually more than I expected. I certainly didn't hope[...]
I am going to build my own riding arena.
I rode Vintage on Saturday, mainly just working on holding two point, and getting her to stop rushing jumps. We made progress on both. Its possible I bored her completely by continuously staying on a circle, doing the same jump over and over. I think eventually she just gave up on life. Afterward,[...]
Sorry for the giant photo of my neck and hair. I'm not sure how to make it stop. I went trailer shopping. It was extremely tempting to buy one. But first, the outfit I wore to the derby! That way if you only came for the outfit, you can skip the rest. I drank lots of mint juleps and had a grand[...]
