Happy Monday everyone! The rain finally stopped in Virginia (for now), the animals are doing good, and I'm really excited about an upcoming trip. I've gotten out of the practice of updating, but I'm going to try to get on a regular schedule agai[...]
We have a new hangout - we've spent many weekend days here, sipping on cider. We went after Gold Cup, we went after putting up fence posts, we went JUST because. Wineries are fun and all, but then I have to go through the tedious process of pret[...]
We visited one of our favorite places - Greenstone Farm! Where's Stu's little life came into being! They already have a bunch of foals, and then they have sweet little yearlings that I remember from last year as foals, and of course, the big guy[...]
Springtime is Virginia Gold Cup time! One of the best excuses to day drink, ever! Gold Cup attracts about 100,000 people from the DC area to our little area of Virginia. We joked on the way over there that for some of the people who c[...]
I wasn't thinking there was going to be a part 2... but then my mom sent me a whole bunch of photos! Awesome! Part 1 was basically my western years... I started out riding hunt seat, but I changed to western, and I think the casual infl[...]
My mom recently made me come get a bunch of stuff from her house. Stuff that I've left there basically since I left home 11(?) years ago. I suggested she just throw it all in the trash, and asked if I could throw it in her trash, but she told me[...]
Holy smokes, I'm still alive! I feel like I haven't posted in forever! I'm still kickin' though... just haven't been feeling inspired to write anything, despite things happening, and me thinking, "man, I should blog about that." Well, I'l[...]
In the time of my recent silence, I took a trip to New York City! It's so close to me, and yet I've never actually explored the city. I did pass through one time to get on a cruise ship, but I won't count that. I didn't have much of a desire to[...]
I love helmet cam footage. My current favorite to watch are hunter paces. There's great scenery, the horse is going fast, but not fast enough to fall like in fox hunting (usually anyway.) There should be more helmet cam footage out there! I need[...]
Yesterday, I watched with satisfaction as my hay guy dropped two fresh round bales in with the babies. Then, he dropped a third to be put in storage. We pushed it in next to the remains of a fourth round bale. I don't have to worry about hay for[...]
