If you’re looking for cool summer tights, these are perfect. They are so comfortable, and so breezy (when not wearing half chaps). The stickiness is great for riding, but it would be hard to multipurpose these as gym tights. Be aware of their stretch and size down. If you feel like being nice, use my […]
It has been a busy few weeks. Grandma came up to stay and watch Bridgette, giving me time to get things done. We did some housework, I’m riding regularly, and we had family time! I ended up so busy, I didn’t get to blog as much as I would have liked. Unfortunately I only get […]
I started out with trying to work with Stu on the lunge, but I realized that he just really needs the ground work element to build upon. I’m moving forward on heavy ground workout for Stu, so I went to YouTube for some ideas. I’ve done groundwork before, but it was so long ago, back […]

In an attempt to upgrade my ground work with Stu, I bought a rope halter. I’ve seen friends use them for years, and finally, after hearing that my farrier always keeps one in his truck, I decided it was time. Stu has had a habit of ignoring my requests to move over, or he’ll want […]
Since I almost never talk seriously about Pony Man, you’d be forgiven for expecting that he’s just a random pony I picked up on the side of the road. Well, that’s only half true! He’s a random pony I picked up next to a breeder’s farm on the side of the road! But in all […]
Like so many others, I’ve been dumbstruck while everything unfolded over the last two weeks. There’s a lot that can be said right now. I’ve been quiet this week, as I processed all that I saw, read, and heard. I’m still processing. I’m still learning. There’s a fear of saying the wrong thing. I have […]
A word from our friends at breeches.com: First, we want to thank everyone who used the “together” code for Memorial Day on Breeches.com. We were able to deliver an entire truckload full of food to the Wellington Regional Medical Center! Prepping for shows while the country is still in a pandemicis a challenge you can […]
Finally, I did it. I tacked up Berry, and I just got on and rode. I put on my stickiest breeches, pulled out the dressage saddle and tacked up. As I lunged Berry again, it came to me that there really wasn’t a way to make her easy. I’ve had her a long time, dealt […]
At this point, I’m convinced that On Horsemanship was Pony Club Manual of ancient times, minus the ratings. Maybe there’s an extended director’s cut version by Xenophon that also includes ratings. We can only hope. After selecting your horse, Xenophon describes the best way to care for it. Spoiler alert: have someone else do it. […]
