It's important to train at the right moment, or you'll mess everything up! https://youtu.be/uxUEukrItr0
Someone has a new camera.... I can't take the suspense, it's me! Dave got me a new camera. I immediately played with the creative settings, and they were fun, if kind of weird. The sky picture above is some kind of HDR setting. Poffins and the field below are miniaturized. I'm excited to try it out this weekend. It will be the highlight[...]
Well, the title gave it away, but I'm pleased to announce the fencing around my barn is up! This is an exciting day for me, and therefore, the world. Putting up the second part wasn't hard. Perhaps it was just the humidity and heat the first time around that made it so miserable. This time, it was super easy. I did disco[...]
Did I ever mention I love wild turkeys? Not to eat or to hunt, but just to look at. I did not have any affection for turkeys before I moved out here, but now ever time I see them I stop dead to stare at them. Seeing them is like seeing a beautiful sunrise on a glorious beach that suddenly appeared in my yard. Or what I'm imagining that i[...]
This is the most exciting development since baby was born - I can now bring her down to the barn! I finally put up some fencing to make a little area where Bridgette can sit in her stroller and be safe from the horses. It's not complete yet, as it turns out it is harder to put up than I thought, but it's enough to start bringing he[...]
It's the last week of August! The air is already getting colder, and fall is approaching. Time to bring out the pumkin spice lattes! Just kidding, those things are gross. If I wanted hot sugar water, I could easily make that myself. Does anyone actually like those things? Or is it just something all woman are supposed to like? I've[...]
To continue on from yesterday's Show Jumping post, we move right on into cross country. Except today I took B and the husband! And then ended up spending most of the time taking care of B, so really, it was a bit difficult to get the pictures and videos that I wanted. Really though, wouldn't change it. I loved bringing B there, she w[...]
Ah, another year, another Great Meadow International. I believe that's the saying. I love that Great Meadow hosts so many events, primarily because it's minutes away from my house. It really makes it convenient when world class competition and events literally come to me. Now that I have B, getting out of the house is a bit[...]
Did you ever play horse video games as a kid, dreaming of riding your own horse? The controls were clunky, the graphics poor, and the horse mechanics were often messy, but it was the best you had, so you played it anyway. I used to imagine the button press coinciding with the jump really would make me a good rider. Well, ev[...]
She's five months already!? How is this possible!? She doesn't even seem like a baby anymore, just a small person. It may seem weird to describe her like that, as she clearly still looks like a baby, but she has become so big, and she seems so intelligent. I'm sure every parent says their baby is so smart, and really, they are[...]
