More on Chickens

Even though Chick Days is approaching, I ordered chicks online. They will be arriving on June 8th. The wait is agony! I order my chicks from mypetchicken.com. It is the only place I have ever ordered from, and I've been very happy with them, so I don't see a reason to try anyplace new. Although I d[...]

Almost Chick Days!

This bitter cold weather makes me think of one thing. It's almost Chick Days!! Chick Days is a period of time in late winter/early spring where Tractor Supply sells chicks. I love going there and checking them out. I wish I could take them all home because they are so darn cute. Our oldest chicken[...]

Having Horses is Practice for Having Toddlers

I don't actually have any children. But owning horses is how I imagine toddlers would be. I was out there, prepping the horses for a cold night, while contemplating this.. 1. They rarely show gratitude. Movies have been lying to you. Horses don't really yell, and call out, or really make many noise[...]

How to Train Your Pony

This was originally going to be a video, but I don't feel like I'm talented enough on camera to inflict that on the world. Maybe as the pony's training progresses, I will try again. Since this was all from video, I have tons of screen captures! This will be exciting to share! How to Train Your Pon[...]

I'm usually the one taking the photos, not in them. I realized I haven't taken a real photo in a long time so I decided to change that and get some photos with my Stubert. (Awesome outfit is from @syncequestrian )

Don't forget to get photos of yourself!

It's the official start of summer! (As indicated by school letting out. That's the calendar I follow). It was a steamy Virginia morning at the barn but that's okay, you get used to it. Can't wait to make my kids into barn rats this summer.

Stu is at his new barn. This was his first ride with the new trainer. I think he's a bit confused about what's going on, it's a big change for him. He's not used to being stalled and he lost all his old herdmates 😭 poor guy! But his ride went well, so well that she took him on a trail ride after to cool him off, something I've never done. She's a braver woman than I, but really that's a good thing πŸ˜‚

Great day at @middleburgspringraces ! 

@thetravelingrider were trying to coordinate our outfits, we were going for: "Modern Ascot Scene in My Fair Lady." How do you think we did?

I was trying to completely make my daughter and I's outfits, but I ran out of time and couldn't finish my own dress. I made Bridgette's dress and both of our hats. As a beginner, I'm pretty happy with how they came out! Just look how elegant my daughter is as she rummages through the cheese. 

The kids liked watching the horses in the paddock, which are apparently more impressive than the horses we already own πŸ˜‚ Maybe they will be thoroughbred lovers. They also ran in the stick horse race, but two horses baulked so only Bridgette actually completed the race. That didn't stop the boys from weaseling their way into the winners circle photos though! 

We also had an unexpected bonus to this trip. We visited @rescuepetconnect and there was a beautiful little dog that could have been my beloved Paxton's double. I literally cried when I saw her There was no way we could walk away, we adopted her immediately. She's been absolutely wonderful and we are so happy to have her join the family! @rescuepetconnect is a great adoption service and was wonderful to work with. I highly recommend anyone looking for a furry family member to check them out. 

This was long, but I'm just so full of emotions! πŸ₯ΉπŸ₯Ή
