Snow Pictures

It finally stopped snowing. Hurrahs are in order. Friday afternoon Saturday There was lots and lots of snow, and lots and lots of wind. Dave and I dug lots of paths, but after realizing how far away my barn is from my house, I decided it was easier to just struggle through t[...]

Watching the Snow

Really, I'm just waiting for winter to be over with. Although I'm sure I'm repeating what nearly everyone is thinking. It's too cold, my arena is frozen, my trainer's arena is frozen, I missed my last lesson because Dave let out the air in the truck tires (sabotage?!), and then every time I[...]

My First Grid

I'm trying to get in as many lessons as possible before my next show. Even though I still have to get through my three nervous experiences before getting a good experience, I'd like to make the next one as not nervous as possible. Tuesday, was the first of my two lessons this week. But, instead o[...]

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[...]

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[...]

I’ve Ruined Berry

My lesson on Wednesday was a little strange. Berry and I started out well. We warmed up over a skinny, which at first she refused, but eventually I got her over it. This may have been a foreshadowing of events to come, or it may have just been that the fake stone wall was terrifying. But she jumped[...]

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[...]

Poker with Horses

Time for the weekend recap! Saturday was gorgeous, I just wish it didn't mean that winter is coming. We went to visit a relatively new winery near us. But Sunday was the really good part. I took Berry to a poker run, and it was so much fun! It was hosted by Sandstone Farm in Millwood, VA, and[...]

OPRC Rally – Day 1

This past weekend was the Old People Riding Club Rally. It was a great reason to spend very little money and get Berry some show experience. She was a little crazy the first day, but on the second day, she was acting like it was nothing. She was such a good girl! The first day was probably 50 degre[...]
