My Big Beautiful Warmblood (an update)

Stu has been in training for over a year now. My, how time flies when I spent most of it laying sick in bed! But I had the cause of my sickness forcibly evicted, so that part is behind me. Let's look ahead to the future. Wait no, we aren't looking ahead yet - we are looking at how Stu is doing now![...]

Onward to Fall

Things have been pretty quiet around here. There's not a whole lot I can do, now that I'm the size of a small whale. Since there's twins in there, I already look like a full term pregnant woman. And I still have over a month left.  This is trying for a flattering pose. Most of the time I'm[...]

Big Man Stubert

It may surprise a few horse lovers to know that I have only visited Stu one time since he went to training - about two weeks after I sent him there. Life gets pretty busy, that's all I can say.  Luckily he has been in good hands, and I haven't worried about him at all. I have been wanting to s[...]

Stu’s New Adventure

Back in November, Stu was living at my farm, enjoying the good life. He got fed, he got water, he slept and ate as much as he wanted. But Stu wanted more. He knew there was something out there he was missing.  So Stu started jumping the fence. Again. The first time, well, I guess things happen[...]

Ground Work for the Dominant Horse

I started out with trying to work with Stu on the lunge, but I realized that he just really needs the ground work element to build upon. I'm moving forward on heavy ground workout for Stu, so I went to YouTube for some ideas. I've done groundwork before, but it was so long ago, back when I was a te[...]

The Dominant Horse

Stu is a dominant horse. It took me a surprisingly long time to realize this.  There were many times I made excuses for his behavior. He's a little bit slow, he doesn't understand what I want, etc. etc.  But what actually is taking place is he just doesn't want to do it. He's incredibly l[...]

Shot from the Top

My deck overlooks my pasture, and I've been wanting to experiment with getting overhead photos of the horses. One day the horses were hanging out by the deck so I seized my chance.  While I didn't get exactly what I was looking for, I love their reactions.  Pony is trying to figure out[...]

The Kool Aid Man

Several days after Stu's last breakout, I was again mucking stalls. The stalls happen everyday, but this time was going to be different. (This blog is well on its way to just being a chronicle of Stu breaking my fences.) You know the movie, "The Butterfly Effect," where the tiniest thing can cha[...]

More Misadventures of Stu

It was late afternoon, and I was walking into my kitchen after hanging out with baby. My tiny yorkie wanted to go outside, so I let her out, and turned to grab some food before I went back to baby. My eye caught something out of place, and I paused, looking out the window. Stu was grazing in[...]

Working with Stu

Stu annoying another horse. Stu is no longer mostly idle. Instead he gets worked every night, or every other night. (Basically, like 40% idle now, which is why it can be mostly not idle.) We've been working on the lunge line at a walk still, which is a bit disappointing to me. I'd like t[...]

Stu is at his new barn. This was his first ride with the new trainer. I think he's a bit confused about what's going on, it's a big change for him. He's not used to being stalled and he lost all his old herdmates 😭 poor guy! But his ride went well, so well that she took him on a trail ride after to cool him off, something I've never done. She's a braver woman than I, but really that's a good thing 😂

Great day at @middleburgspringraces ! 

@thetravelingrider were trying to coordinate our outfits, we were going for: "Modern Ascot Scene in My Fair Lady." How do you think we did?

I was trying to completely make my daughter and I's outfits, but I ran out of time and couldn't finish my own dress. I made Bridgette's dress and both of our hats. As a beginner, I'm pretty happy with how they came out! Just look how elegant my daughter is as she rummages through the cheese. 

The kids liked watching the horses in the paddock, which are apparently more impressive than the horses we already own 😂 Maybe they will be thoroughbred lovers. They also ran in the stick horse race, but two horses baulked so only Bridgette actually completed the race. That didn't stop the boys from weaseling their way into the winners circle photos though! 

We also had an unexpected bonus to this trip. We visited @rescuepetconnect and there was a beautiful little dog that could have been my beloved Paxton's double. I literally cried when I saw her There was no way we could walk away, we adopted her immediately. She's been absolutely wonderful and we are so happy to have her join the family! @rescuepetconnect is a great adoption service and was wonderful to work with. I highly recommend anyone looking for a furry family member to check them out. 

This was long, but I'm just so full of emotions! 🥹🥹
