Ha injuries from riding horses. Knock on wood, never seriously hurt (I didnt finish typing this till AFTER my lesson with Sally, yes I stayed on!) And YES I am in love with the saddle. LOL. Pasha dumped me spectacularly at the Richmond Morgan show when I was a freshman in college (I think it … Continue reading Day 09–Any Injuries That Occurred From Riding

It is a small adult-only barn with about 10 horses, let me see there is Lakota, Rico, Aria, Remus, Star, Stella, Sterling, Moonie, Pskova (not sure how to spell her name), and Molly. It has a lighted outdoor ring in a beautiful rubber … Continue reading Day 08–The Barn I Board At (& Saddle Is Here)!

I have not gotten a lot of ribbons really. I have showed a lot but quite often didn't place or got those lovely pinks (fifth) and whites (fourth) when I did place. All is fine though.

One thing I think most of us freely admit is we are NOT the best at riding. Even people I know who are amazing riders (cough, cough, the900facebookpony.com I am looking at you!) think they don't ride well. So when I saw the topic for Day 3, I thought maybe I just give up this … Continue reading Day 03–Your Best Riding

This posting came along at a timely moment. I actually had a LESSON scheduled November 1st so this works for this topic posting quite nicely.
