As I stated in my earlier Day 1 post, I fell off my sister's horse at age 5 or 6 but being dumped like a sack of potatoes doesn't count when you don't even KNOW how to ride, right? So we can push forward a couple more years through my lessons and learning to up … Continue reading Day 05–Your First Fall(Not the Kind With Leaves & Cooler Weather)

Hmm another tough topic. A ride that impacted my life. I have ridden some different horses over the years but not a lot of them impacted my life. I rode as a kid until my late 20's early 30s then got out of it for several years. After moving to Texas I kind of got … Continue reading Day 04–A Ride That Impacted Your Life

One thing I think most of us freely admit is we are NOT the best at riding. Even people I know who are amazing riders (cough, cough, the900facebookpony.com I am looking at you!) think they don't ride well. So when I saw the topic for Day 3, I thought maybe I just give up this … Continue reading Day 03–Your Best Riding

This posting came along at a timely moment. I actually had a LESSON scheduled November 1st so this works for this topic posting quite nicely. The last time I rode a horse was yesterday and I had a dressage lesson! Dressage Lesson with Emily Donaldson First one in WEEKS, WHEW. First off it was great … Continue reading Day 02–The Last Time You Rode a Horse and What You Did: Dressage Lesson!

If you aren't where Halloween is celebrated, go get yourself a piece of chocolate and a glass of wine. There you are celebrating too! 🙂 Now onto … Continue reading Blog Hop: NaBloPoMo (Daily Blogging?That is Scary!)

I helped out a friend (Brooks from Straight Up) this weekend on Saturday with her lovely, lovely OTTB mare, "Paris" and almost stole and brought the mare home with me! Paris was so sweet and well behaved and so pretty!! I kept telling Brooks I was stealing her but I also assured her I would not … Continue reading Fun Day at Plantation This Weekend (No Riding Involved)!

Nothing much happening so figured I would do a photo update on Remus!! I went out the other night and brushed him etc. He was still out when I got there so when I got him out of the field and left Lakota and Sterling out, he thought he was something SPECIAL and was getting … Continue reading Do These Dapples Make My Butt Look Fat?

Leaves are falling, temps are dropping at night mostly (though still a wee bit warmish in the daytime), horses are growing in their winter coats with a bang. It was a busy week at work last week and I haven't had a bit of time to do a damn thing with my horse or even … Continue reading Fall Has Arrived, For Shizzle!

This looked fun from Liz's In Omnia Paratus blog and I haven't done one of  these before so thought I would try to join in: Most equestrians quote fall as their favorite season to ride. Are you one of those that does? Or maybe not; what is your favorite season to ride, if so? I love Fall … Continue reading Blog Hop Courtesy of In Omnia Paratus: October Questions
