Oh man these lessons with Emily are drawing to a close way too soon. We are finally getting somewhere and now I have to move away and find all new trainers. I asked if Emily would teach me via Facetime even! My lesson was Monday afternoon with Emily and it was a humid day (it … Continue reading Dressage Lesson With Emily: Last One?

The good news is I have a lesson with Emily today, Monday.  Horsey stuff yes!! The bad news is that the weekend I just had was so stressful it is a wonder I didn't just fall into a fetal ball and start weeping. Or yell for people to get out of my house. Or both. … Continue reading Get Out of My House! A Weekend Retrospective

What a cool title that Leap of Faith would have been for jumping cross country or something. But no I am talking about a different leap of faith we are undertaking here. As everyone knows by now, Mark has been in TN for almost a month now. I am still in DE killing myself with … Continue reading Taking a Leap of Faith: A Big Leap….

So we went, we jumped, we didn't fall off. Win? I say so!! First off thanks to Jess for tagging along and taking some media. Otherwise we would have been SOL so I have to thank her for going. ( I think she got some video too but I am too impatient and wanted to … Continue reading Fair Hill Cross Country With Sally: Jump Time

I had a pretty shitty day on Tuesday. Nothing out and out but I had a horrible headache all day which never bodes well, plus with all the stuff going on I did not get out to Remus even though it was a gorgeous day. But my head would have killed me and there is … Continue reading What I Really Really Want: A Vent and a Query

Boy things are slow in content for this blog. I had to go to Dad's this weekend so didn't do one horse thing this weekend. I hope to see Remus this week and the following week I should (hopefully if the weather behaves) do a cross country school with Sally (fingers crossed). Things are slow … Continue reading Blog Fail: Nothing to Share

As Emma already pointed out it was a fantastic day to meet up with friends. Everyone and their brother had the same idea though, it was busy! But first off, Batty(Sarah's horse) and Remus were a match made in heaven. I think they reminded me of these guys honestly. Actually both Sarah and I are … Continue reading A Most Excellent Trail Ride With Friends

The weekend started off early for me due to I skipped off work early on Friday to go get a dressage lesson with Emily. I really wanted to fit one in it has been weeks since I have ridden with her, so rearranging some things, I got it on my calendar. I got to the … Continue reading Decent Weather, Decent Lesson: Win-Win!

Born today April 20, 2003 (yes he is officially 15 today), a bouncing buckskin boy was introduced to the world. And he grew up to be this huge monstrosity I went and saw on a warmish day (it was Spring I know) in 2012 (I had to look back and can't find the original email … Continue reading Happy Birthday Remus!

Welp, my exciting week came to a sputtering stop on Monday when we had almost 2 inches of rain dump in less than a day (I finally put my rain gauge up so I would know for sure what we were getting, this weather is getting silly!).  My work also ramped up to 11 this … Continue reading Too Much Drizzle Fo Shizzle: Cross Country Schooling Is a Wash
