Guess what? I have a lesson scheduled! And it is tonight. YAY. I am hauling down to Mississippi (about an hour away on decent roads) to have a lesson. I asked (okay hounded) the trainer to fit me in. And now once I told my friend Steph (she already rides with this person) about it … Continue reading A Lesson Is Scheduled! Will Frogs Be Falling From the Sky Next?

Trying to get back to blogging regularly but totally didn't post yesterday (oops that day ran away from me fast) so you get a Tuesday post instead.

Dressage The grounds at Flying Cross are amazing. We had buckets of rain the night before but even so the footing was decent (albeit wet) and we had a not too heathen time of 10 something for Remus's dressage (and May's and others) so we didn't have to get up at 0 dark thirty. Remus … Continue reading Flying Cross Mini Trial: Remus

Remus … Continue reading Cross Country Schooling: Remus Style

How do those truck drivers do it? Seriously? I drove to Kentucky on Friday and back home last night and feel like I am crippled and brain dead both! And hungover (no alcohol was drunk but damn I feel I pounded some shooters).  My caffeine level was on overload too.

Hotter than homecoming. This is a phrase my sister uses often and since moving to Tennessee I have started using it as well. A lot. It is not really THAT hot here yet, but I went to try our central A/C last week and nothing happened. We have now had three (COUNT THEM THREE!!) service … Continue reading It Is Hotter Than Homecoming!

Schnauzer Sunday it is. Somehow Saturday slips away from me so fast, so Schnauzer Sunday has become a thing! We still have a mouse in the house and Mark went to do laundry and found cat food stuffed in where the detergent goes. Umm no cat nor dog did that! HA. So off to Lowes … Continue reading Schnauzer Sunday
