"He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her." - John 8:7 This verse is commonly quoted. The woman was accused of adultery, and back then women were stoned for that. Jesus challenged them though. No one threw a stone at the woman. This is what Jesus said next. …

Healthy Snacking
Are you a snacker? I sure am! Salty snacks are my favorite. Potato chips are my weakness. While I will never give them up completely, I am trying to have healthier and more nutrient-dense snacks. So, I decided to come up with a blog featuring some of my favorite healthy snacks. Believe me, I still …
Bareback And Free
I can't be the only horse girl who has a dream of getting on her horse bareback, and cantering around a huge open field - wind in her hair. Free. I have never done that. I have never been big on riding outside an arena, to be honest, nor have I ridden bareback many times. …
Working Out With Your Bodyweight
I have probably talked about this before, but that's okay because I think it's an important topic! In all my years, of riding and fitness'ing, I have found that some of the BEST types of workouts to help me in my riding are body weight workouts. I have ran, lifted, dance, yoga'd, and done almost …
Thoroughbred Vibes
Chance was my first thoroughbred. My first horse was a quarter horse, and my second horse was a Hanoverian. Then came Chance, and now Flynn. And you know, I am not sure I'll get other breeds.

Taking Breaks From Riding
I am missing the boys like crazy, but if I learned anything from my two-ish years off of riding it’s that a little separation can be a good thing - though difficult. I used to make horses the center of my life. An idol, you could say. I would never willingly take time off of …
Arizona Adventures
As I mentioned in my last couple of blogs, I am currently visiting my boyfriend in Arizona for the next few weeks since I have a nice long break from school. I am bummed I couldn't bring the horses, but I do have my dog Khloe here! Maybe the boys will get to come next …
Good Old Bible Reading
“Jesus saith unto him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.’” John 14:6 This verse has been in my head the past couple of days, even though it has been a while since I actually sat down and spent time in the Bible. I …
Meet The New Guy
Getting a new horse is always such a fun and exciting thing. I have posted about my new guy on my other social media pages, but I have neglected to write about him on here! What a travesty!! Anyway, meet Flynn - full name, Flynn Rider the horse after the guy from Disney's Tangled. No, …
