Finally got out to Emily's this week for another dressage lesson. Again, why she puts up with us sometimes I wonder! It seems to be the same old song and dance every time with us. My brain does not comprehend all the tasks at hand (thumbs out, sit back, legs stretch down to the girth, … Continue reading It’s The Same Old Song and Dance, My Friends….(Dressage Remus Style)

Saturday night we had an impromptu fun night at the barn. My barn is very social for being such a small barn  (I myself am NOT social but they do force me to be social once in a while). We ended up setting up a small course and taking spins over it. I jumped some … Continue reading Ponies, Jumping, and Potluck (Oh and Friends)!

Time to JUMP! As I said in my last Blog post, it was nuts keeping up with everyone at FH that day. I had a friend who had done Novice (She WON!) and already hauled her horse home and come back by the time we got there, I had another friend who was doing Beginner … Continue reading Fair Hill Starter Trials Part II (Better Known as YAY Jumping!!)

Starbar and Jess PLUS lots of Emma and Charlie! I was hauling a barn friend and her cute paint pony Starbar to Fair Hill. I wanted to go and watch and I figured I would have fun spectating for once and not wanting to vomit in the bushes waiting for my times to ride. So none … Continue reading May Fair Hill Starter Trials (Spectator Version), DRESSAGE

MORE RAIN, WHY, WHY? This Is What You Wanted? Why Didn't You JUST Say So? Last time you read about how BAD my horse was. As in extremely bad pony behavior. So it rained all day on Friday and I hemmed and hawed about scratching for the CT at Blue Goose. But as the usual procrastinator … Continue reading Remus Redeems Himself at Blue Goose CT

So, first things, first. I love Seinfeld (and Friends and Buffy...) and use quotes from those shows daily. So my thoughts yesterday in my dressage lesson was what DO I want? and my answer was THIS, THAT and THE OTHER (From Seinfeld episode, the Deal if you are following along). My issue of course is … Continue reading This, That, and The Other: Remus Being Bad

So long story short, we live in town. Cute house (small cape cod) with a big yard for the dogs. We have been pretty happy here since 2009 though we still miss Texas (badly)!  We have great neighbors on our street, it is near everything, and it has been a pretty good place to call … Continue reading Home, Home, on the Range…Where Remus Could Roam?

So work demands, weather issues, and just lack of time has ground my blog writing to a halt. And I can't even use Rolex as an excuse as I am stuck in Delaware still. Sigh. And haven't even ridden that much lately. I need a lesson STAT! I am on about ten deadlines at work right … Continue reading Nothing To See Here, Move It Along….

OH boy, this is a long blog post (I apologize in advance for lack of media and also the amount of words)! First cross country schooling of the Spring. Hot as balls, yep. It was 89 on Sunday actually by the end of the day. When we went it was a bit cooler and there … Continue reading Windurra with Sally: Ditches (check), banks (check) water element (check), and logs (pick up your feet, Remus!)

I type this as I get ready to load up to go to Windurra today (Sunday) to ride with Sally. And my arms hurt. My back hurts. My fingers even hurt! Fellow barn mates decided they were going to go ride at Fair Hill on Saturday. And they invited me along (they have invited me … Continue reading First Fair Hill Hack of the Year (i.e., Remus Needs His Brakes Adjusted!)
