Ahh Britney....the minute I went to get on my horse again I had this song pop into my head and KNEW it would be the title of this post today! HA! But yes dear readers. I actually rode again. And even better. ON MY OWN. All by myself! Sing with me! Now before we get … Continue reading Oops, I Think I Did It Again

So one ride in I am still one ride in. Why? Well because monsoon weather came back to TN. We had exactly 2 days of nice fall-like weather before the temps plunged and the rain came from the sky. And it hasn't slacked up since. Our pond is full. As in water over the banks … Continue reading Rain (& Cold)Delay: How Tennessee Does Fall….

Mark and I celebrated our 16th wedding anniversary today (October 12)!! Happy Anniversary to us!! I can't believe in some ways it seems like a zillion more years than that and in other ways it feels like last year!! But as nice as that is there is way more exciting news.

Today I still have one and today it … Continue reading Moaning Myrtle Monday But Remus Still Makes Me Laugh

It is hot again. I want that crisp weather back thanks. The leaves are falling so if you look … Continue reading Fair Hill International?? Who Is Going?

This blog post I was writing first thing Monday morning was about Remus and his way to get around having to do work. Do I think my horse is smarter than me? Sometimes.... Um, then my internet broke. For most of the day. That was fun, not. Why you ask? Because I have no bars … Continue reading Curses: Foiled Again!

Horses are fickle creatures. Remus loves Tate. But he also hates Tate. And there are scars to show it. We extended the fence yesterday so they have a bit more space and a bit more grass. I went out to check this morning since the optical illusion of the fence made it look like Remus … Continue reading My Horse Is A Shark: Jaws Has Nothing On Remus

Horses are pigs. There I said it. Tate waits to come into a clean stall to pee and poops more … Continue reading Why Pay for A Spa Day? Remus and Tate Do Their Own Mud Bath
