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[...]
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[...]
I've been wanting a baby (horse) for a while. I discussed it a bit in this post, in which I got some really great feedback. I didn't even have to pay for it, many of you willingly gave it up. No one even billed for their advice. After thinking on it, searching the internet greatly, discussing wit[...]
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[...]
Pony, being a full grown 5 year old pony, needs to get out and see the world. I can show him the world.... you know, if I feel like. But in this case, D'Arcy will show him the world. She started by riding him last weekend. So, to give you a brief recap of the life of Pony, I bought him[...]
I go to the nearby park quite a bit to ride. I have an arena at my house, but it's good to get off the property. Also, the park's arena is way bigger, and that makes it easier to ride in. And there's trails at the park. And it's a de-sensitizing dream, with dogs, kids, soccer, cars, random people wh[...]
With the feeling of spring upon us, I, like many mare owners, have the temptation to do something a little naughty. Not everyone likes appaloosas. I'm sure there's some of you looking at Vintage and thinking of appaloosa spawn... It's not my fault she always looks like she wants to de[...]
We had beautiful weather in Virginia this past weekend. It is basically spring, which means all the plants are preparing for spring, and they will probably die when it goes back to freezing weathering. Only the strong shall survive. D'Arcy and I took advantage of the nice weather by going for a lon[...]
