I find TTouch fascinating. I don't know if how accurate it is, but it does seem to have some truth behind it. It's more accurate than palm reading, but it seems to fall into that realm. TTouch was created by Linda Tellington-Jones. It's both an encyclopdia of horse characteristics and how they relate to personality, and a series of[...]
The posts I had planned for today is delayed. I usually write my posts in advance, and then read/edit them again in the morning they are posted to try to catch any typos. I frequently make typos, and looking at a post with fresh eyes helps to catch them (although I sometimes still miss them anyway!) This morning, I had a post queued up,[...]
She turned one! I can't believe it's been a full year since she was born. The time went so fast. We had planned on her first birthday party being last weekend, but we ended up canceling it due to the virus. I actually made the decision to cancel a few weeks ago, and it was hard at the time because there was no confirmation of anythin[...]
Two things have been accomplished in the last few days. I'm so excited to be making some progress! I actually don't know which I'm more excited about. They both give me satisfaction, but which gives me more? I'll have to think about this. First, Stu finally understands lunging. I do not know why this is was so hard for him to[...]
We're doing something a little bit different here today. I bet no one was expecting this topic to come up. I wouldn't have expected it either until I happened upon a video that peaked my interest. On the Weird History YouTube channel, there's a video "Things You Didn't Know about King Henry VII." Short of stalking the man, I didn't thin[...]
Saturday was the 79th running of Warrenton Hunt's Point to Point. Leading up to the event, I was watching their facebook page to see if they would cancel the event due to the coronovirus, and it seems others were too, as they eventually posted that the race was still on. I've never been to this race before but I was told the event[...]
This isn't a current events blog, so I don't usually bring up current events. But with everything going on, I decided I will bring it up. COVID-19 It's scary out there. A virus which we still don't know much about is spreading like wildfire, and we can't contain it. This feels like a zombie outbreak movie happening in r[...]

Technically, the first day of spring is March 19th. But it's been so warm here, I think we can call it - it has definitely arrived. The first color of spring is always yellow - the daffodils and forsythia. My first reaction to the warmth is how happy I am to get outside again. My second reaction - "Okay, what needs[...]
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 horse Ollie. Longtime readers will remember that D'Arcy used to keep Ollie on my farm. Ollie a[...]
