Fair Hill 2017 Fall Starter Trial (Part 2 Cross Country) When I ended my last blog, I hinted that we were heading to the start box for cross country.

My trainer at my gym has been using Blue Apron and enjoying it. I decided to jump on the band wagon and try it out. I have only done one week so far but I love it. You can order for 2 or for 4. You can order 3 meals a week or 2. Everything … Continue reading Off Topic Day: Blue Apron Trial Going On…

Have you all figured out how wimpy I truly am??

He has always been an easy keeper until last winter when he lost some weight but he gained most of that back this Spring and this Summer we have kept his muzzle on but he … Continue reading Desperately Seeking Energy Please!

Remus was a star again. We got up bright and early (TOO early in Remus books again) to go to Straight Up's Combined Training Event (it was the last of the series for the summer boo hoo they are so much fun but I heard about a few others elsewhere in the Fall. As they … Continue reading Another Straight Up Great Day!

Off to a lesson we went on Wednesday. It was hotter than I thought it was going to be. Even getting him ready at the barn I was hot. There was no humidity and it was just mid-80's but for some reason it felt a lot hotter.
