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

Shawn had a photography student come by and ask about using our horses for models and of course Shawn said yes. WHO doesn't say yes to free photos of our horses? Shawn sent them to me and told me Shelby would come back to do photos if we wanted (and of course I would pay … Continue reading Remus Is Ready For His Close-Up, Not Really

The last house we looked at when was in Memphis was a nice one. It was a definite possibility. It is still for sale and our realtor is supposed to go see it. Was it perfect? Nope. But the land was usable there was a very basic barn there and it was in a decent … Continue reading Memphis Part III: The Sunday House

So we saw four houses over the weekend and one dingy apartment complex. Everything was green in TN unlike up here and all the flowers were blooming so it was very pretty down there. However everything blooming was FREEZING to death due to the cold temps that had crept into that area last weekend. I … Continue reading Memphis Trip Part II: Houses and BBQ

Either I am getting too old or traveling is getting really crazy. Maybe a bit of both? We dropped dogs off at the kennel/daycare on Friday afternoon and headed to BWI where we had booked a hotel at the Marriott there near the airport so we would be nearby for our early flight the next … Continue reading Memphis Trip Part I: Traveling Is Exhausting

Well, this post was the one for LAST Thursday but silly me left the photos home in a shoe box so here it is this week instead. This is just a potluck of various photos I found while cleaning the house out and they took me down memory lane so I thought I would share. … Continue reading Throwback Thursday

Happy Easter to all! I hope you spent time with family and had good food or, if you are like me, went to a horse show instead! I went to the barn on Saturday and cleaned Remus up.  After I shortened his mane a bit and washed it, he got trimmed all over (except for … Continue reading Hop To It! Combined Training at Straight Up Stables

I am such a mess. I had a Throwback Thursday post all ready to post yesterday and left all the photos I was using (not scanned yet) in DE. So that didn't happen did it? But to be fair, my brain is a whirling dervish of emotions and plans and craziness. I am down in … Continue reading No Idea Which Way Is Up: Sure Why Not Sign Up For a CT?
