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[...]

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.
