I wasn't thinking there was going to be a part 2... but then my mom sent me a whole bunch of photos! Awesome! Part 1 was basically my western years... I started out riding hunt seat, but I changed to western, and I think the casual influence of that rubbed off on me a bit. Hince the no helm[...]
My mom recently made me come get a bunch of stuff from her house. Stuff that I've left there basically since I left home 11(?) years ago. I suggested she just throw it all in the trash, and asked if I could throw it in her trash, but she told me I can throw it away after I get it out of her house. U[...]
I love helmet cam footage. My current favorite to watch are hunter paces. There's great scenery, the horse is going fast, but not fast enough to fall like in fox hunting (usually anyway.) There should be more helmet cam footage out there! I need more to watch! Therefore, I am encouraging everyone to[...]
Yesterday, I watched with satisfaction as my hay guy dropped two fresh round bales in with the babies. Then, he dropped a third to be put in storage. We pushed it in next to the remains of a fourth round bale. I don't have to worry about hay for at least a month. Hay has always been a source of w[...]
Over the weekend we did Weanling Walk 2: The Reckoning. Weanling Walk 1 is here. Weanling Walk 2 ended up being much better! Who would have thought a sequel would have been better than the original?! This time, I stuck a camera similar to a GoPro on my head and recorded the who[...]

We planned this weekend to get the babies trailer loading. That didn't go to plan. But, one thing I'd learned with horses is doing some ambitious plan will force me what we need to work on. In this case, we were walking them up to the trailer, through the big field that the horses are norma[...]
This long weekend was a fun weekend of visitors! And I popped up on Eventing Nation! I have officially peaked, it's time to retire. Shelby came back up, and naturally, she had to see the little babies. I think she was a hit with them. Stubert and Shelby doing the official muzzle bump greetin[...]
With the deep freeze coming through last week, it has been rough on the farm. The pipes froze in the barn which meant that Dave and I were hauling buckets of water down from the house. Not fun at all, and I feel especially bad for Dave as he was alone last week, hauling buckets of water for five hor[...]
When Stu was born, he had a teeny little hernia. It was so small that I didn't even notice it until the vet pointed it out during the vet check. I've never had a horse with a hernia before, having never owned a horse so young. It isn't uncommon in babies - It's basically a spot in the a[...]
