A horsewoman is defined as a woman who rides, trains, breeds, and cares for horses. Beyond all of that, a horsewoman has a true passion for equines - along with an understanding for them. Horses can seem complicated to most people but, to the horsewoman, they are as simple as anything. A horsewoman cares deeply …

Blessed
I woke up this morning to the sound of some much needed rain. Even though I may not be able to ride today, I am very thankful for the rain. We have had fire warnings the past few weeks, so a couple of rainy days is a very good thing. As I drank my coffee …
Looking Brighter
In Wintertime Blues, I told you all that Chance had been a little injured. Well, he is still a little injured, though ride-able. The vet came out on Monday since he still wasn't quite right. When Chance was at the clinic for his colic, they had done a lameness exam and worked him on the lunge …
Slow Down
Everyone is so busy these days, constantly hurrying about to accomplish the thousand things they have to accomplish each day. Busyness is so prevalent in our lives, and it leads to a serious problem: stress. Basically each person I know is likely stressed out today about one thing or another. It is almost trendy to be stressed, sleep …
Wintertime Blues
Things always seem to happen all at once, right? Last week, Chance was off for the first time in about a year. It doesn't seem to be anything serious, we are thinking just a mild tendon strain. I am still riding him lightly, and he gets Surpass and a standing wrap afterwards. He felt much better …

We Don’t Need to be Rich
I hate when people tell me that I had better marry well in order to keep up my riding. I hate when people act like it is impossible to ride without a fancy horse, and a massive horse show budget.
When They’re Wild
Since winter has finally hit Texas, I have had a pretty wild horse. I posted about some of Chance's antics the other day in Galloping into 2016. Literally. While he was a bit calmer the next day, I was unable to ride on Monday thanks to that pesky little thing called work, so yesterday he was crazy. …
Galloping into 2016. Literally.
My first ride of the year lasted all of about five minutes. No, I did not get bucked off but I am fairly certain I would have had I not gotten off and decided to lunge - which also proved to be a little tricky today. Chance was convinced that there were monsters somewhere in …
2016
Even the tiniest bit a progress each day can make a huge difference over the course of a year.
