I have such a brave eventing horse. Um, not. Remus is usually spooky about stuff but usually jumps spooky stuff just fine. It is the day to day stuff that gets him going. Manhole cover on trail....OMG it might kill me. Wild Turkeys in the next field. HELP CALL 911 I might die (says Remus). … Continue reading Remus Is Not Brave, But A Scaredy Cat, Yes!

Thanksgiving Long Weekend So this blog post is just a mess of this and that so I tried to organize it a bit. I want to get back to blogging regularly again but life needs to slow down a bit. Crazy crazy crazy lately. I can't believe we are only a few weeks from CHRISTMAS … Continue reading Crazy Little Thing Called Life: Mud Please Leave, Remus Please Behave and More…

I am finally back to the farm! Whew what a whirlwind week last week was. I enjoyed both the user group seminar I attended in MD (and my presentation went amazingly great I was so nervous) and seeing my fellow coworkers again at the HQ office. And I got to see Sarah on Monday night … Continue reading Duck, Goose, Goose, Goose

Longest DRIVE EVER! OMG. So the weather gods were against me on Friday. Thursday I got past Knoxville but didn't leave on Thursday until about noon so did pretty good.

I … Continue reading Poop Happens: What To Do?

I feel like all my posts lately are about so much about the weather. BUT it is true. Our weather has been really horrid. We had torrential downfalls all weekend and our pond is literally overflowing its banks and our dock is almost under water out there. The ground is so soaked there are puddles … Continue reading Weather Be Crazy…Also Road Trip Happening Later This Week

Five posts in one week. WHOOHOO. This never happens. So I did the thing and bought the coat Amanda made us all buy. And love it (both the color and the coat) but it is definitely tight in the hips. It is odd, it fits good in my shoulders but I am a bit too … Continue reading Happy Friday! Anyone Interested in a Coat?

One time I responded to a … Continue reading Blog Hop: 25 Questions

Dressage Before we get to dressage and us entering the ring I have to tell you about Remus. Cross Country started while we were waiting for dressage. Remember this was a small place and cross country was right over behind the woods (behind the house) where we were standing by the ring. When they yelled … Continue reading Oak Grove Hunt Club Combined Test: Part II (Dressage & Cross Country)
