I got my shipment from State Line Tack on Wednesday afternoon.  UPS and FedEx are slowly figuring out how to navigate my long ass driveway and turn around. Since I am home all the time I can't really hide from them but so far no one has been pissed at the shit ton of … Continue reading My Favorite Things: Keeping the Economy Going (and UPS/FedEx)

I roll out of bed at 6 or so each morning to go take care of the horses. No more sleeping past 6 for me. Even if I wanted to, I would feel guilty since they are in their stalls at night. So for me, the routine is I wake up and take the two … Continue reading Getting Into A Routine: Tate & Remus

Lots of photos in this blog post. Sorry not sorry! 🙂 We got the fence finished and turned them out Weds evening for about an hour or less. The grass is GREEN and they don't need much more weight on (Look at the tummies on these two). I guess I have been over haying them … Continue reading Turnout Finally Plus Tractor Time

Everyone talks about hot how it is in TN in the summer. And it is. Very hot. Except when it isn't! Like this past week. This morning it was 62 degrees when I walked out to feed ponies. As in very very nice. The last two days we have had cloudy days so yesterday the … Continue reading Not Hot in Tennessee: Rare Temperature Break

What a weekend. A whole lot of stuff happened and I finally got out of my conference coma kind of by Friday (it literally takes me a few days to get my brain and body recovered from being ON for a solid week running around and being customer service the whole week). So by Friday … Continue reading A Hodgepodge of Updates

So yesterday was great, Tate got delivered promptly around 10 am  then after they left with the trailer I found/saw the snake in my tack room and never wanted to feed the horses again.  Remus also lost his shit when the TRAILER LEFT without the pony. He just knew someone else was on that trailer. … Continue reading The New Odd Couple: Remus and Tate

Tate arrives today. I hope he and Remus get along okay. I am sure Remus will be glad to have the company. The paddock is small though so hopefully they get along. And next on my list is a donkey or something just so I have three so if I haul Remus out one day … Continue reading It’s Tate Thursday: Happy Birthday to Me!

What a week. I am absolutely drained and feel like I have the worst hangover EVER. News Flash: No alcohol was involved, these particular body aches are from 19k-25k steps a day, working a full week at a conference, then picking up heavy book bags and placing them on 300 plus chairs two times on … Continue reading Whirlwind Week in Austin: Home Finally, Whew!

NNo way in hell will I blog after today. I leave bright and early tomorrow morning for Austin for a solid week for work there. I can't actually remember if I blogged last year during conference (I probably didn't) but I have gotten pretty steady on my posting here and didn't want anyone to think … Continue reading Fat Buckskin Intermission: Signing Off For a Week

Yesterday was the day from hell. Ollie decided to be very bad. Up to this point, the dogs go out with me in the am or whenever, while I feed Remus, or water him, or clean his stall. Gretchen never goes far (and if she does she is always to be found at the front … Continue reading Farm Life: Ollie Did a Bad, Bad Thing!
