I am back from vacation. OMG I thought i was tired before. MORE TIRED ALL THE TIME NOW but anyway, will post more later about vacation and the farm (yeah that didn't happen). Other issues, I gots them though. I paid for digital photos for Fair Hill (EARLY JULY!!) and prints as well (Got the … Continue reading Customer Service Issues (OR come on people, you were paid, give me the CORRECT photos)

I still haven't gotten into the swing of things since returning from Orlando and working my ass off for a solid week (And my foot is still bothering me from all the pounding concrete I did there). Remus has been ridden (just NOT by me) by Jess last week at Fair Hill a few times … Continue reading Summer Is Slipping Away….

Austen's blog today  (if you aren't following her you should be!) made me stop and think. After I wrote a long ass reply on her blog I was still thinking. And I was curious. Why do we do show? Especially if someone ends up not liking your horse (Happened to me many many times)! I started … Continue reading Showing and Competing: Why I Do It (Not for the Glory For Sure)!

I have never been so glad to be back home in hot, gross Delaware. I spent 8 days in hot, humid Orlando but away from my dogs, my husband, and my horse. No fun. It was a very busy week but a great conference. Most days I did 25k steps or more so my feet … Continue reading Finally Home(#longestweekever)

Heading to my dad's today to get his 'bills and pills' straight (Don't ask but ever since my mom died (2014) this has landed on me to do. Then on Tuesday, I fly to Orlando for eight days for our conference (my job). Not fun. I will walk about 25-27k steps a day and fall … Continue reading Crazy Week Coming Up and Stuff for Sale!

And here we goooooo.... as we trotted/walked/loped up to the Stadium, we helped a couple people get their horses through the water (thank goodness my horse doesn't care about water!!). It was shady on part of the hike up there so we got a few minutes of coolness before being blasted by the humidity as … Continue reading Fair Hill Starter Trials Part II: Fun Stuff ( JUMPING)

Dressage Saturday, July 1, 2017 was the longest day ever!!  It was also a great, fun day due to good friends, new friends, and horses, jumps, and you name it. But two days later, I am still so bone weary it is not even funny. One reason could be due to my logging over 28,000 … Continue reading Fair Hill Starter Trials Part I: Dressage, Course Walking, and Baby, It’s Hot Outside

Happy Fourth of July all!! I hope you are cool and comfy and not having to work! Have a great day! Last Friday, I headed to Fair Hill to do a quick walk of the course since it is so close to me. I don't know if it was good or bad that I did … Continue reading Walking the Intro Course While Having Friends Calm Me By Text!

Before I even attempt to recap the awesomeness that was Fair Hill Starter Trials, I figured I would write this saddle fitting recap blog post first. Saturday was a crazy day and I am not sure how many blog posts will come out of it but here is the first one! After a long ass … Continue reading In Search of Our Precious: Where I Learn Some Things About Remus and His Saddle Needs!

Next time I jump I am going to slap a post it to my forehead to remind me to breathe. Seriously, I go to the gym at least 4 times a week. I work out. I may not be as fit as a marathoner but I should not be out of breath, by jump 9. … Continue reading The Fair Hill Derby Cross: Might As Well Jump
