When you have no riding opps at all on a shitty weather weekend (COLD, SNOW, FROZEN ICE FALLING YOU NAME IT) you come up with ideas on blogging. UGH weekend you sucked. However, I felt like crap all weekend too so was probably good I didn’t have a lesson planned etc.

Next Sunday, my husband leaves for England but before I drive him to BWI I have another lesson with Sally at Kealani again YAY(is it sad that I told my husband he would be packing anyway so won’t miss me that day? LOL). Fingers crossed the weather they are calling for later this week, passes us by so I can at least RIDE some before said lesson :).
Hope everyone had a fun and safe weekend!! I did manage to see my horse twice at least and he appreciated the carrots and brushing I am sure!

I can’t be only one who read that singing the words to the actual song, right?
Want to hear something funny/sad? When I was in Aiken, a woman stopped me and asked me about the purple cart I tote around for all my junk. She looked vaguely familiar but I couldn’t place her. Then when I was looking at the live scores after the HT had ended, I saw Sally had competed and I’m 90% sure that was her that had talked to me! 🤦♀️

Weather definitely doesn’t make for fun riding. But I loved your 12 days rendition. I may or may not have hummed it to myself while reading. 🙂

Love the dapples. Nilla grew some winter dapples this year since it’s the first time she hasn’t been shaved for winter.
