Yucky is a bit of an understatement. There's no way to polish this up, so I'll be blunt. The foal I wanted, the one that was just born this week, has died. My second choice foal was still born. Such is life I suppose. Nothing is ever a guarantee. Completely overshadowing this though, and pu[...]

Guys. GUYS! I am so excited because I got new arena footing! This is the best day ever! I didn't even have to pay for it! D'Arcy traveled to an exotic beach, and since she didn't ask me what she should bring me back, I offered to her that she should bring back some sand for me... and she DID! Two va[...]
This last weekend was as action packed as any horse-obsessed person could want. It had all the excitement of a lesson, baby horses, moving hay, and a horse show! I need an extra day off to recover from this madness. Today's topics - Lesson and hay. I was half-heartedly looking at n[...]
A while back, I had baby chicks born. They were adorable, fuzzy little black things. But now they have grown up. The ones Dave picked up from the store have been given to my neighbor, and the fuzzy little black ones were put outside. Unfortunately, one of them did wander away and disappear fore[...]
Gold Cup was over a week ago. But it did happen, so here's the official report. It was a very wet, very muddy day that basically passed in a blur. But a great day with bloggers Emma, D'Arcy, and Shelby! We actually got Emma to come out! We were thrilled that we managed t[...]
If anything could inspire me to have a breeding farm, it would definitely be going to a breeding farm. They are so incredibly cute, I want to be surrounded by foals all the time. I want to lay in the middle of the field and have lots of foals leaning up against me, like a foal pile. When I[...]
It's finally that time. I've had at least one request (really, probably just the one) over the years to present a tour of my property. I never did it before because there's really not much to my property. The mystery of not knowing what it looks like is way more intriguing than what it actually look[...]
I don't believe in ghosts. I feel like that's an important point on this entire ghost story. Sure, Paranormal Activity had me jumping at every noise in the night, but that wore off. If I watched it now, I bet I'd have no reaction to it. Especially now that they've made those god-awful sequels. If it[...]
In the span of a week, my flock of chickens has doubled. It started one warm afternoon when I walked up to my chicken coop. I peeked in to take a look, and I heard little cheeps. My first thought was, that better not be what I think it is. I crawled into the coop, and found a little nesting[...]
Above is the closest I've been to riding a horse recently. And that's not even me playing it! That's Dave playing an online horse jumping game. He would miss the jumps, but magically, the jumps would become transparent for him to just canter through. This was only a safeguard to avoid injury though,[...]
