I had a lesson on Sunday with my good friend Diana who just started back riding again ( I am a bad influence I know!). We don't get to lesson together ever so this worked out and the rain stayed away long enough. I didn't do a whole lot due to my hip issues (going … Continue reading A Fun Exercise to Try

Life is still nuts. Weather is still insane. And so on! Remus is doing great in his lessons, I tried a Thinline pad with my new (to me) saddle and it worked so much better and my back didn't hurt as much. I think my back misses the Stubben biomex seat so that makes sense. … Continue reading A Quick Catch Up

My horse was a star at the schooling show. The college kid who rode him wanted to show (she has been at college so hasn't been riding so she asked for a horse and Poppy thought of Remus). I figured he would be out of his element especially once they told me they had signed … Continue reading Remus the Rock Star

last summer So Remus did go to the show and did do well. I have media etc. but first today I want to talk about drainage and barn issues. UGH. Remus fun stuff to come later this week. For now, HELP. see odd patterns water does when it drains inside the barn thru the aisle! … Continue reading Barn Woes

Remus being naughty and also his quarter horse bloodline may not cut but it can do the moves! 🙂 I had a great lesson on Sunday, however, the only videos of me that made it is of me chipping in with Remus. NO ONE needs to see that again (my perfect line alas was not … Continue reading Who Wants Remus Media (albeit without me on him)?

You can't keep a good vampire (I mean truck) down! It seems that due to the way truck prices are nowadays and some other things they are going to repair Edward and not total him. In one way this is amazing cause I miss him greatly, on the other there is a LOT OF REPAIRING … Continue reading Edward Update

May your week take off with joy and exuberance just like Remus. LOL What a doofus! No one told him he will be 20 years old in a few weeks! 🙂 https://youtu.be/g_s84LhS62Q No news on truck yet, but this definitely made me smile when I got this from Jenna! What a goof. (Remus not Jenna!) … Continue reading Happy Monday

ouch poor poor Edward What a day. You go out to run some errands and do some appointments and some crazy wench runs right into you. Dad and I are okay mostly. But I am sad to say Edward 2.0 may not make it. I am hoping they can fix him. My Edward still sparkles … Continue reading Poor Edward 2.0

Someone is growing up (and getting feisty!) I had a fantastic flat lesson with Jenna yesterday in the small ring. It was low key and just what the doctor ordered, we worked on transitions and lateral work and just getting Remus to stop bulging his shoulder. The small ring is NOT Remus's favorite ring and … Continue reading Girth Recommendations (and a Luna update!)

best buckskin ears around I logged in this morning and saw this: Happy Anniversary with WordPress.com! You registered on WordPress.com 7 years ago. Thanks for flying with us. Keep up the good blogging. Wow, 7 years is a long time. I know I have not been doing justice to this blog as much as I used to … Continue reading Happy Anniversary to Me?
