I would happily spend every weekend taking pictures of horses and their people. So happy I got to do it two weekends in a row! Let's see if I can keep this trend going... Presenting D'Arcy. For these photos, I went to visit D'Arcy and her[...]
The Dressage Chronicles If you're in the mood for a light read about believable characters in the dressage world, you need to read this book. I got it several years ago, and have read it multiple times. I'm working on another re[...]
Poor poor Ponyman, who seems to get hardly any attention from anyone. He's not as desperately needy as Stu, and finds him annoying, so he just keeps to himself away from the herd. When I give him attention, he soaks it up like a plant taking in[...]

Almost Walking The little baby is so close to walking on her own! She now blitzes around with the help of a walker. She's so fast, it's hard to get a non-blurry photo of her. She can't stand on her own, so she'll crawl over to t[...]
I'm a big fan of internet learning. In this day and age, it is possible to learn about nearly anything on the internet, and video seems to be the number one format. From YouTube to LinkedIn Learning, knowledge has never been so accessable. Even[...]
