My goodness, it has been a long time. I thought I would never get back to blogging, even though I have missed it so! I don't even know where to begin. Over the past year, I have begun my nursing career. I got married. I moved again. I started showing Flynn. Well, we went to …

The Right Stuff
I feel a huge box to check off when it comes to horse training is finding the right equipment for my horse! Flynn and I finally found the right bit, and I started utilizing a small spur, and it is already making a huge difference in our rides. The right tack and aides can be …
Let’s Go Ride
Does your horse care how much you ride? I was inspired to write this post, as I am coming off of a couple of years of sporadic riding. I also often read posts on social media about how it's okay to not ride very often, and to not be hard on yourself if you are …
SaddleBox Review
Recently, the company SaddleBox was kind enough to send me a box of goodies to review! The best part was the picture of the rescue horse the company has helped right on the inside of the box! Also, it arrived very quickly from the day they shipped it. Who wants to wait forever for their …
New Year, Old Me
Over the past couple of weeks, I have been doing a lot of reflecting, goal setting, and thinking about what I want to accomplish over this next year. While I always look forward to a new year, and the possibilities it brings, this year I want to do more than that. In 2022, I want …

Slowing Down
It's funny, I recently wrote a post about time management and now I haven't posted in nearly two weeks. I suppose that I still have a lot of room for improvement when it comes to managing my time. To be honest, this semester has already been a lot. Between the general workload of nursing school …
A Way of Life
Horses are a way of life. They aren't just a hobby. This isn't just a sport. Being a horse person is a lifestyle. We have horses in our blood. Sometimes it feels like this lifestyle chose me. I always knew I would have horses. I have always kept journals, since I was a kid, and …
Good Old Time Management
I am beginning this post after a long day of school work. If you're new here, I am in my last semester of nursing school. So, I know a thing or two about having a thousand things on my plate and that thing called overwhelm and I are very good friends! People often ask me …
