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.

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

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

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
