Horses in the snow!
Snow Day
Lackluster 2015 Overview
I figured I should probably make a year end review, but I’m such a boring person, there’s not a whole lot to say. I made some goals this year. In retrospect, I set the bar pretty low. And even then, I failed to succeed at many of them. I took hunter lessons. All I committed myself […]
Renn Fest 2015
Of course we went to the Maryland Renaissance Fair this year. Of course. We started out by getting food/wine. Sure, it might have only been like 11am, but Dave had been talking up those turkey legs, so there was a small demand for them. Then everyone got to watch me get my hair braided. Luckily […]
One Year of Blogging!
WordPress tells me I have now been blogging for one year (as of yesterday). Hurrahs all around! When I started this blog, I wasn’t really sure of what I wanted to do, I just wanted to write. I thought it might end up being an “Outfit of the Day” type deal, because I love looking […]
Berry, the Weirdo
After a tiring few weeks, I’m feeling much better. I even rode Vintage! In an effort to make taking care of my horses easier, I let them in the my backyard, so they are literally only steps away.

Treasures from the Parents’ House
On Thanksgiving, I was talking about a course I had taken in college, and decided to look for the course materials. It was like opening a treasure chest. My old bedroom had been converted into a general use room, making it hard to remember how it looked when I was a teenager living there. But […]
Horses: Unraveling the Mystery Part 3 – What Counts as Riding Experience
See part one here and part two here. A friend of ours is coming down for a weekend soon, and he’s bringing a lady friend with him. The lady friend heard we have horses and wanted to go riding. I love going riding, and I love taking people riding, so that is great. But I had […]
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 […]
