Stu has been in training for over a year now. My, how time flies when I spent most of it laying sick in bed! But I had the cause of my sickness forcibly evicted, so that part is behind me. Let's look ahead to the future. Wait no, we aren't looking ahead yet - we are looking at how Stu is doing now! We are looking at now, now. The present[...]
A few weeks after I birthed the twins, my Pony came back from lease. The trainer said he was the world's best pony and he was wonderful, but she wasn't getting enough business to justify keeping him. That's fine, I took him right back. When he got back, I was surprised to find him more assertive than he had been before. He wanted to be h[...]
We all have that one horse that really moves us. They are our friend, our partner, and our best teammate. It can seem like they are so in tune with what we want, they know what we want before we've told them. This is such a common thing in horse world that we even have a name for it: our "Heart Horse." Similar to a soul mate, there can o[...]
After spending most of last year as a lesson pony, Pony has returned to me. My understanding was that he was the world's best pony at his lesson barn. I'm not sure of the exact details though. I really should have asked though. If there's one thing I love, it's hearing how great my pony is, and exactly why he is so great.&nb[...]
They have arrived. After so many months, starting with constant sickness and misery, and ending with constantly being uncomfortable, they are here. It's been over a month now, and I finally have the energy and time to write this, early in the morning, while all the kids are still sleeping. Pregnancy was rough. It was definitely not[...]
I had the opportunity to shoot for Sync Equestrian again for their latest product launch. This time it included the Venom Performance Top and both the Venom Full Seat and knee patch performance breeches, as seen here. It was an e-commerce style shoot, which basically means the focus is entirely on the product, with a white background. Ne[...]
Things have been pretty quiet around here. There's not a whole lot I can do, now that I'm the size of a small whale. Since there's twins in there, I already look like a full term pregnant woman. And I still have over a month left. This is trying for a flattering pose. Most of the time I'm just a blob. I feel like I will never[...]
I am so excited to present... my first commercial photoshoot! I partnered with Sync Equestrian to photograph their amazing equestrian leggings. I'm not a big gusher, but their leggings really are fabulous. They are so flattering and grippy, and it really was an honor to photograph them. Here are some of my favorites: [...]
As our little girl is growing up, we started to feel like we might need another one. The first one was working out really well, and it could be fun to have two. They could play together, for one thing. and then they are this cute, you can't have just one So with that in mind, we though, we could try, and see what happens. Well, wha[...]
Another big update on the farm: Pony Man has a job! I am thrilled that he will finally be doing something, but the sad part is that it isn't with me. I leased him to a lesson/training barn, and he's going to be a lesson pony. Puffing himself up to impress the ladies It was hard to let him go, but he really needs to be doing s[...]
