Ground Work with Stu

Stu is now a big two year old. He's spent the last year of his life basically being feral. He got some basic training at his breeder's farm, and then I worked with him a few times until I got pregnant and he kicked me twice, like a little shit. I decided it was too much of a risk to work with him while I was pregnant, and decided to shel[...]

Horse Farm Warnings

Apparently I've always been a klutz. My mom said when she took me to the doctor as a baby she had to convince them those bruises really are because I'm really clumsy. He walked with her to the car as I played on a foot tall concrete wall. Right in front of him I tripped and fell, and he believed her. My mom thought gymnastics would help[...]

How to Take Better Selfies

I will start by saying I'm not a fan of the traditional selfie style photo. The one where you just stretch your arm out with the front facing camera open, and snap the photo. Major dislike. Especially dislike when I see the same person posting basically the exact same selfie photo over, and over, and over. I guess a new one for each day?[...]

Planning for Planting

I have plans, BIG PLANS. Well, no, maybe medium sized at best. But my plans involve getting some planting done. There's a few areas around my house that need sprucing up (although not with spruce trees, they are too big), and I want to put in plants around the barn. I'm not very good at selecting plants to make a beautiful space, but I'm[...]

Weekly Round-Up Sept 20, 2019

Helmets I ordered my new helmet, and am eagarly awaiting it's arrival. It's taking a little bit longer than I expected... maybe today it'll get here? I definitely need a new helmet. I tried on my old helmet and I'm shocked at how loose it is. I don't think there's any protection left there. I also need it to rain so I can drag my are[...]

The Biggest Surprises of Owning Your Own Farm

I've been living on at my farm for a while now. I lived on my parents farm as a teenager so I didn't have the same anxiety when I first moved here that many people did (how will I keep my horse alive?!). However, there's some things that popped up that surprised me. It's things I sort of knew about from my parent's farm, but I was shield[...]

6 Month Old Baby

She's become so big now! She weighs so much, and she seems to take up my entire torso when I carry her around. Man, they get big fast! So, here's what she's up to as a 6 month old: She practices her vocals a lot. Screeching is her current favorite. Sometimes it's one startling screech out of no where, other times, she's singing a wh[...]
