I had my lesson on Tuesday, and it was pretty amazing. She was either super worn out still from the poker ride, or she really is just getting better. It was a good time to have a long boring talk about our relationship! (except it wasn't boring, it was amazing!) I'm having trouble remembering who's[...]

First things first - after Saturday's classes, kind hearted Dave decided that Berry's girth was pinching her, and we must get her a new girth immediately. This may have been the case, as she was a super good girl using her new girth, so I'm glad we got it. But I also got this snazzy new helmet. T[...]
I had a work thing last week. I'm sorry! It involved three 12 hour days, but the good thing about that was, I only worked three and a half days. Then I went up to Ohio for a wedding. But now that I'm back, there are things that need discussing. Before the terrible rain last week that washed out p[...]
Really it's only the two personalities, but multiple sounds better next to mare. Last night I rode in my arena for the first time, and Vintage decided to pull out crazy mare. Crazy mare usually happens when she hasn't been ridden in a while, and she will become hot and excitable, taking every aid as[...]
I got Evee in 2010, straight off the track. I literally went to the track, and bought her from the trainer. At that point, I'd just recently taken up riding again after a few years off, and I thought I was the greatest ever. I'd always dreamed of buying a horse straight off the track, ever since[...]
I still have one more New Orleans post to make, but it's been pushed out of the line up because I have been inspired. I went trail riding with Olivia from hellomylivia on Sunday at the Battlefield. She wrote about our adventure here. It was so fun meeting up with her again and going riding! She's[...]
This is directed to everyone who said she just had to learn to jump in my last post. Because apparently you were all right. Kudos to you all. On Tuesday I went to my regularly scheduled riding lesson with my usual instructor. I'd just like to put out there that is was incredibly hot. Swelteringly,[...]
I didn't write about it, but last week's lesson went well. Berry was a good girl, and we did lots of trot poles, and even some jumps, the highest being a solid green box, with a pole on top, about two feet. It was a really nice ride, and I basked in the bliss of it for the rest of the week. I felt s[...]
Substantially shorter post than usual, but I suppose I have less to complain about when everything goes well! It was raining most of last week, which means I barely got to ride. On Sunday, I took Berry to a ring to school her. The same barn that did my rating also allows OPRC members to school in t[...]
While at a neighborhood/country party a few months back, I met some members of the Old People's Riding Club. Since I am in desperate need for more horse riding inspiration, I decided to sign up. On Saturday, I had my first official rating. If you are familiar with Pony Club (and I'm not really), it[...]
