Holy mackerel! A post actually about riding! I don't think I've done one of these in months! Because I haven't ridden in months! Yes, what I said in the previous sentence is true. I haven't ridden since I started my new job, because I don't have lights at home, and it's dark all the time. On the[...]
The lovely Sarah, from A Soft Spot for the Stars, is having the most wonderful bloghop, and I'm loving reading about people's locations. Here's mine! I live in Northern Virginia, in the general area of Middleburg. It's horse country here, but has the advantage/disadvantage of being close to DC. A[...]
It's that time of year again - the time when people lose their minds for black Friday deals. As someone who absolutely loathes shopping, I'd like to share with you something that has gotten me through these obnoxious times. You don't need it. You really don't. Sure, it's the latest trendy bridle,[...]

If you're wondering why I put up posts at a snail's pace, it's because I have a new job. It's a pretty awesome job, but I end up having very little free time.

In the midst of being super busy, I managed to get some horse fun in. Last Saturday was the fall edition of the Virginia Gold Cup. The Gold Cup is located at Great Meadow, which is also the location of this fabulous event. I did not check how many of the cross country jumps are still up, but someone[...]
The Illumiseen Breastplate collar is a nylon breastplate with LED lights lining it. The lights have three settings: steady, blinking slow, and blinking fast. Illumiseen created this breastplate to increase horse visibility, and they succeed, these lights are bright. Illumiseen reached out to[...]
We drove into our little town on Saturday to drop our truck off to be fixed (finally, omg!). For a town that consists of one street, it was surprisingly active, and we soon discovered the source: A new market had (sort of) opened. But, this is not just any market. This market is owned by Ayrs[...]
My truck is still not usable to pull my trailer, so I'm still grounded at home. I don't know how anyone can manage without having a trailer because these last two months have been very frustrating. I really wanted to go trail riding, but since I have no trailer, and no trails, I decided to just h[...]
It's common knowledge that taking care of horses basically means, I never go anywhere. How could you? There's horses to take care of, chores to do, and no one can take care of your horses the way you do. When you do end up going someplace, you spend the whole vacation worrying if everything is[...]
