I am having a hatefest with Remus lately. He has been a pill to Tate and to me both. The dressage whip is out on full view in the aisle now due to Mr Has to be Served Immediately! Spoiled rotten shit! I may have a person who I can send him to to get … Continue reading Things Sitting Around Here That Need Selling: No, Not Remus! Yet…

Horses. While I definitely am happy having them in my back yard there are times when I wish I was just writing a fat board check to someone else. To all the people who actually took care of Remus before, I tip my hat to you (and probably owe you even more money just for … Continue reading Tell Me Why I Even Bother? Messy Horse, Messy Weather, etc. etc.

Not much changed here since my last blog post. Mud is still here: check. Remus still fat and retired: check. Weather still drunk: check, check. Tate still cute: check, check, check! Today (Friday morning it is 65 degrees out at 6 am and HUMID!) What the hell three days ago it did not get out … Continue reading Same As It Ever Was: My Life

I have such a brave eventing horse. Um, not. Remus is usually spooky about stuff but usually jumps spooky stuff just fine. It is the day to day stuff that gets him going. Manhole cover on trail....OMG it might kill me. Wild Turkeys in the next field. HELP CALL 911 I might die (says Remus). … Continue reading Remus Is Not Brave, But A Scaredy Cat, Yes!

Thanksgiving Long Weekend So this blog post is just a mess of this and that so I tried to organize it a bit. I want to get back to blogging regularly again but life needs to slow down a bit. Crazy crazy crazy lately. I can't believe we are only a few weeks from CHRISTMAS … Continue reading Crazy Little Thing Called Life: Mud Please Leave, Remus Please Behave and More…

I am finally back to the farm! Whew what a whirlwind week last week was. I enjoyed both the user group seminar I attended in MD (and my presentation went amazingly great I was so nervous) and seeing my fellow coworkers again at the HQ office. And I got to see Sarah on Monday night … Continue reading Duck, Goose, Goose, Goose

Longest DRIVE EVER! OMG. So the weather gods were against me on Friday. Thursday I got past Knoxville but didn't leave on Thursday until about noon so did pretty good. But Friday I was hoping to get in before dark. I must admit I did not. But I made it. After dark. For the first … Continue reading I Made It: What A Drive (Not In A Good Way)!

Well POOP! We are deep in shit now, poop happens, and manure overflow. (ALSO IT IS RAINING AGAIN SOB). However you state it we have two horses who you would think wouldn't seem to produce too much but when you have two pigpens like Tate and Remus, well, it does seem to collect fast. I … Continue reading Poop Happens: What To Do?

I feel like all my posts lately are about so much about the weather. BUT it is true. Our weather has been really horrid. We had torrential downfalls all weekend and our pond is literally overflowing its banks and our dock is almost under water out there. The ground is so soaked there are puddles … Continue reading Weather Be Crazy…Also Road Trip Happening Later This Week

Five posts in one week. WHOOHOO. This never happens. So I did the thing and bought the coat Amanda made us all buy. And love it (both the color and the coat) but it is definitely tight in the hips. It is odd, it fits good in my shoulders but I am a bit too … Continue reading Happy Friday! Anyone Interested in a Coat?
