I had my lesson on Tuesday, and it was pretty amazing. She was either super worn out still from the poker ride, or she really is just getting better. It was a good time to have a long boring talk about our relationship! (except it wasn't boring, it was amazing!) I'm having trouble remembering who's[...]

Deep in the overgrown pasture, the feral pony lived a quiet life. He was small enough to live unnoticed by the humans, and nearly unnoticed by the other horses. He learned stealth. He was able to sneak up to the horse's hay, and munch away for several minutes before the horses would take notice. Eve[...]
Time for the weekend recap! Saturday was gorgeous, I just wish it didn't mean that winter is coming. We went to visit a relatively new winery near us. But Sunday was the really good part. I took Berry to a poker run, and it was so much fun! It was hosted by Sandstone Farm in Millwood, VA, and[...]
First things first - after Saturday's classes, kind hearted Dave decided that Berry's girth was pinching her, and we must get her a new girth immediately. This may have been the case, as she was a super good girl using her new girth, so I'm glad we got it. But I also got this snazzy new helmet. T[...]
This past weekend was the Old People Riding Club Rally. It was a great reason to spend very little money and get Berry some show experience. She was a little crazy the first day, but on the second day, she was acting like it was nothing. She was such a good girl! The first day was probably 50 degre[...]
I had a work thing last week. I'm sorry! It involved three 12 hour days, but the good thing about that was, I only worked three and a half days. Then I went up to Ohio for a wedding. But now that I'm back, there are things that need discussing. Before the terrible rain last week that washed out p[...]
Really it's only the two personalities, but multiple sounds better next to mare. Last night I rode in my arena for the first time, and Vintage decided to pull out crazy mare. Crazy mare usually happens when she hasn't been ridden in a while, and she will become hot and excitable, taking every aid as[...]
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[...]
This movie just came out, and should not be lumped in with the Black Beauty from the 90's, because that one was pretty awesome. This one... I don't even know. But if you want to be included in my confusion/amusement, read on! But be warned, there was so much ??? that this is a long post. Our story[...]
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[...]
