TTouch Evaluation: Berry

This is the second try to determine if the TTouch characteristic evaluations can accurately determine a horse's personality. Vintage was the first try, and did not leave me convinced. Just like the psychics you can call, the information given was vague, with a few accurate bits, and that's just not[...]

The Spooky, Sweltering Hot, Indoor Show

I took Berry to Frying Pan Park on Saturday for an open 4-H show. I took my very first riding lessons at Frying Pan Park when I was six years old, and I grew up coming to watch the shows there, always wanting to be the rider on the horse. I finally fulfilled that childhood dream, although mos[...]

4-H Show Prep

In case you are wondering, no, I am not in 4-H, as I am a full grown adult that cannot pass for a teenager. But, this 4-H show is catering to non-member apparently, and full grown adults can show at it. 4-H brings back such feelings of nostalgia. In my youthful, carefree days, I was a member of[...]

Cross Country Action

I met up with Shelby a few days ago for a trek through Middleburg/Piedmont hunt territory. It could possibly be the most beautiful horse country in the world (although I am biased). Shelby knows the area very well, and took us on a little tour. Unfortunately, there was a storm cloud just sout[...]

Confidence Riding Alone

Due to a few expensive bills, I've had to cut back on my lessons. I find it ironic that I had to buy stone dust to practice in my arena, and since I bought stone dust, I can't afford to ride at lessons. I blew my horsing budget with only two bills. Let this be a warning to everyone considering buyi[...]

Pony’s First Trail Ride

Pony is a coward. The times he's gone off the property he has been fearful, and scared. When he was out at training, his trainer would purposely take him for walks around the barn, where he would spook at the same things he saw everyday in his daily life, the sawdust pile, the hay bales, the dog, de[...]

Horse Birthdays

Berry's birthday was yesterday. She is now 7 years old. Pony was a bit disgruntled, possibly because I completely forgot about his birthday. His birthday was exactly one week ago. He just turned 5. Sorry Pony. I'll do something for you at a later time. Not that he would appreciate it, of c[...]

Still Talking About Flying Lead Changes

The above picture cracks me up. It just looks so casual, like I'm not even moving, just relaxing - "Oh hey guys, what you are up to? I'm just sitting on this horse here, I'll probably be finished about noon." I feel like I'll never shut up about these dang lead changes. I still don't have confir[...]

TWA Hunter Show

I went to another show! Yet another reason I'm so glad I have my trailer back. To make this show especially great, it was located about 15 minutes from my house. No more hour and a half trips for me (for now)! It was cold. Way colder than it should be in May. Berry had also been in the last 16 ho[...]

On This Weekend

Let's start with a follow up to my whining post about being covered in mud, because I got to have more fun, covered in mud. I may have made a gross, muddy mess of the edge of my arena, but the important thing is now there's a nice ditch around my arena. Hopefully this will be enough to divert[...]
