I am Declaring War on Sugar

I, Courtney, am addicted to sugar. I love it. I will devour just about anything with sugar on it.  When I mean devour, I really mean devour. I am the person at parties who goes back for a second slice of cake, and if I can sneak it, a third piece. In fact, I'd probably eat the whole cake by myself if there weren't people around. Yes[...]

When is it Time to Move to a New Barn?

I was working one day, taking photos are a client's barn when it dawned on me that the client's barn had children's toys by the arena. There were tables set up for children to eat. In fact, that barn had literal children scattered on the property, an entire children's riding program. My current barn had none of these things.  Gettin[...]

Why Do We Do This?

There are times where I wonder why I still have horses. My life seems complicated enough as it is, and then add that I have three horses spread out on two different properties, all the expense of keeping them, all the time spent caring for them, and all the frustration they add into my life, it just doesn't seem worth it.  [...]

The Power Behind Improvement

Life happens. I try to update my blog once a week, aiming for Mondays, but sometimes I just get caught up in life, and I don't have time to write up a blog post. This week, It was because I've been busy at my real job, being a photographer.  I had a few shoots close together, and I had to take time to make the actual photoshoot happ[...]

Having a Human Baby: A Guide for Equestrians

So you've decided you want a human baby. This could be a good decision, human babies can be useful for many things, including overbearing, unconditional and unstoppable love, much like a dog, but without the ability to leave them in the house to go out. As an equestrian, the process of acquiring a human baby might be confusing, but lucki[...]

The First Three Rides

I am now riding my own horse, a truly incredible feat. After a bit of a rocky start, he's smoothed out and doing much better. My trainer did do lots of groundwork and rides in the last two weeks to get him to this point, but I was not present for most of it. I think it's better that I didn't see that part, as it left me with a bit of bla[...]

Bringing Stu Home

It's been just shy of two years since I sent Stu away. Life has changed so much since then. Well, I birthed out my litter of babies. That's basically it... with me I mean. I guess the world as a whole has gone through some changes, some of which effect me, others do not. But this isn't the time to get political. Or maybe it is? It's[...]

Invasion of the Crawling Babies

Everyone warned me this would happen. After the usual pleasantries were exchanged, they would make a comment about how I had my hands full. And then followed by, "Just wait until they are crawling!" Twins that are potatoes are one thing. You place them where you want them, and then they stay there. They may not be happy about it, or they[...]

The Equestrian Inspired Neutral Fall Wardrobe

As equestrians, we have a serious style advantage. Everyone just loves our look. It's inspired countless fashion campaigns and looks. It's a classic, never go out of style look. Seriously, look back 40 years ago and people were wearing the exact same look. Don't take this to the extreme though, eventually fashion does change.  Oh[...]
