Zebra Print is the Secret to a Fly Free Horse

Fly season is approaching (or in some cases, already here) and once again, we are preparing to deal with annoying, obnoxious flies. While uncomfortable for us, they are highly annoying to horses, who aren't able to run back into the air conditioned house to escape. We try to keep them away with c[...]

My Heart Belongs to Trail Riding

When I did the trial ride for my very first horse, I took him outside of the ring. I had already ridden inside of the tiny arena, but for whatever reason, the owner suggested I go ride in her field. I went out there, exploring the small wooded paddock, and when I turned around, Clay picked up a can[...]

Winter Ride #1

I decided to get my brain in gear and get out and ride. The pull was too strong. I keep seeing ads for shows or events I want to do, and I think to myself, wow, if my horses were in shape, I could go do that. So even though I won't be able to do the event in two weeks, I could still maybe do an even[...]

Local Explorations

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[...]

Cross Country Action

I met up with Shelby a few days ago for a trek through Middleburg/Piedmont hunt territory. It could possibly be the most beautiful horse country in the world (although I am biased). Shelby knows the area very well, and took us on a little tour. Unfortunately, there was a storm cloud just sout[...]

Pony’s First Trail Ride

Pony is a coward. The times he's gone off the property he has been fearful, and scared. When he was out at training, his trainer would purposely take him for walks around the barn, where he would spook at the same things he saw everyday in his daily life, the sawdust pile, the hay bales, the dog, de[...]

Horse Blogging Trail Ride: The Attack of the Evergreen Tree

I still have one more New Orleans post to make, but it's been pushed out of the line up because I have been inspired. I went trail riding with Olivia from hellomylivia on Sunday at the Battlefield. She wrote about our adventure here. It was so fun meeting up with her again and going riding! She's[...]

Trail Ride – State Arboretum of Virginia

On Saturday I took a trip with my neighbor to the State Arboretum of Virginia in Boyce, Virginia. It was about an hour's drive from my house, and since I followed my neighbor's trailer there, I'm not even sure I could find it again. I was just zoned out, passively following the trailer, not noticing[...]
