A Re-Introduction to Stu

I moved to a new barn at the beginning of January. Stu was at the previous barn about three months, and it was three months of mostly frustration. I didn't even want to go see him because I wasn't having fun. There were definitely a few rides that felt wonderful, but the majority felt like I was ma[...]

Launch of An Equestrian Life

Today is the first official post on my brand spankin' new website, An Equestrian Life. Huzzahs are in order! HUZZAH! I was originally going to get my original blog name, "Vintage Virginia", as the URL, but it turns out that was taken. For a few months now, I've been sitting on my original word[...]

The Horse Show Waiting

My Saturday timeline: 10:00am - Even thought trainer said to get there at 11am, still lazily sitting around, drinking coffee. Justify sitting by deciding to use time to put on makeup. Forget to put on makeup. 10:38am - Load up Berry and head out. 11:54am - Arrive at venue. Terrified that I[...]

A Great Lesson

After feeling disappointed that I didn't do better at my show, I had a prep talk with myself. I sternly told myself that I need to put in much more effort, and be braver. At my show, I basically went into potato spaghetti mode, put in no effort, and forgot everything I've been working on for months[...]

PIP 2016: Horse Goals

For the period of time encompassing 1 Jan 2015 - 31 Dec 2015, Ms. Marshallick's performance fell short of expected, as she failed to accomplish her tiny amount of set goals. Ms. Marshallick was noted to have spent time idly surfing the internet instead of performing relevant duties. Because of this[...]

A Horse Show for Berry

I'm using a very generic title because I don't know the name of this show. But I did know the following: It was Berry's first pure hunter horse show, and it was at Morven Park, so that was pretty exciting. I've heard the tales of adventure there, so I felt like I was some kind of awesome person to[...]

Small Accomplishment: Jumping Vintage

I've been afraid of jumping Vintage in the past, mainly because she gets fast, and then she would stop. But I've been learning so much with Berry, I thought I would try it again, now that I sort of know what I'm doing. Previously, I have the very ineffective tactic of "do nothing" and then[...]

In Which Berry Crashes Again

I had my lesson today, and at first everything seemed fine. I had an awesome lesson! But then I really wanted some media of me jumping, so after sitting and chatting with my trainer a bit, I went back out to jump more. This was apparently a mistake. Full lesson recap coming, but here is the worst[...]
