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[...]
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[...]
I decided to start a new posting series where I talk about all my horse memories from the times of old. Although really what happened was that I was trying to come up with a catchy rhyming title, and then I thought of Memory Monday, and thought, I should do something on every Monday! So, gather ar[...]
I spent the last day of nice weather out hiking. At least it was a nice hike with good company! We went down the riverside trail first. It had many rocks to scramble over, and went right along the river at points, giving a great view. Someone had attempted to take their baby carriage down it[...]
Of course we went to the Maryland Renaissance Fair this year. Of course. We started out by getting food/wine. Sure, it might have only been like 11am, but Dave had been talking up those turkey legs, so there was a small demand for them. Then everyone got to watch me get my hair braided. Luckily we[...]
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[...]
Wordpress tells me I have now been blogging for one year (as of yesterday). Hurrahs all around! When I started this blog, I wasn't really sure of what I wanted to do, I just wanted to write. I thought it might end up being an "Outfit of the Day" type deal, because I love looking at those kinds of[...]
After a tiring few weeks, I'm feeling much better. I even rode Vintage! In an effort to make taking care of my horses easier, I let them in the my backyard, so they are literally only steps away. But, because I own a Weirdo Horse (TM), it turns out this does not make everything/anything easi[...]
