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?

So a funny thing happens when you start purging your household contents. You find stuff you forgot you had! We have worked all weekend on cleaning, purging, and loading the dumpster. In fact me typing this blog, my fingers and knuckles actually hurt typing. My knees are killing me, my feet hurt, my calves hurt, … Continue reading Where Did All This Stuff Come From?

Really really done with this weather. I am sitting here on my couch on Wednesday morning waiting for the next round of snow to hit. We were supposed to get rain yesterday but nope it was snow, then sleet, then ice, then snow then ice, then sleet. And that makes a lovely base for the … Continue reading Go Home Winter!

Sally Cousins is positively a spark of sunshine on a gloomy day and makes you laugh very hard but still convinces you  that you just might be able to jump the moon. Also my very good friends Tanya and Sarah showed up to  do media and just generally pick on me for leaving and moving … Continue reading Sally Lesson at Kealani Farms: Who’s A Good Buckskin?

So many things to do. Mark won't start for a month from today so we have a bit of time. We have … Continue reading Heads or Tails? What Did We Choose?

YAY and thanks again to Emma and Amanda for bullying me (I mean encouraging me) into starting a blog! 🙂 I have to say I have enjoyed it more than I ever thought I would and I have to thank all … Continue reading Happy Blogiversary to Fat Buckskin in a Little Suit!

No real horsey update today.  I assume Remus had a great weekend and will see him later this week and do have a Sally lesson later this weekend so yay good things. I did pick up a jillion and one horse blankets on the way back from VA near the beaches (our horses have a … Continue reading Decision Making: I Believe…

Happy Daylight Saving Time weekend! I truly love this time of the year when it starts staying light at night. More horsey time, more dog walk time, the start of grilling at night (once it warms the eff up). Things I hate are the dark mornings and having to figure out how to change the … Continue reading Daylight Saving Time Begins This Weekend!

It has been a really up and down week (and it is only Wednesday today!) and the last thing I felt like doing was going to a lesson on Tuesday especially with ANOTHER Nor'easter heading our way.  I have had headaches every day and just feel like doggie doo doo this week. I go to … Continue reading Lesson with Emily Before Nor’easter #2 Rolls By
