Trot Jumps
The last couple of weeks, Chance and I have been working on a lot of trot jumps and grids. These exercises are so helpful!! Chance tends to (like many other hunters) just want to barrel around courses all strung out and sloppy. Needless to say, he has never been a huge fan of technical work. …
When We Fall
Falls are inevitable when it comes to riding horses. If we never fall, we don't ride enough! While falls should not be frequent, they are bound to happen from time to time. What do we do when they do? Do we get right back on? We are told from the first day we begin riding, …
A Little Fitness Challenge
Since joining Beachbody, I have been doing a workout called Piyo. Piyo combines yoga and Pilates for a low impact workout workout that uses your own body weight to sculpt and strengthen your muscles, as well as increase your flexibility. It is amazing!

Companions
Happy Monday everyone! I hope today was not too brutal for you, since many of you may be going back to school or have kids going back this week. I tried to ride this morning, but a storm came rolling in before I got on so I just gave Chance a good groom. I didn't even pull …

Plan B
Since my realization last weekend that Chance very well may never be a show horse, I have been thinking about a suitable "Plan B." Of course the "should I sell him" thoughts have drifted across my mind, and then there is the suggestions from my family that I should "cut my losses and get rid …
S**t Happens
So, Chance and I finally made it to a show last weekend. Unfortunately, we didn't make it twenty minutes schooling before he bucked me off and high tailed it back to his stall. Needless to say, we didn't actually show show last weekend. I was fine, but he is just not the type you can …
Cabin Fever
For those of you that don't know, my parents are building a farm and I am to live in their guest house once everything is complete. Well, that guest house is going to be an old log cabin! A family friend gave my parents three log cabins off of their ranch in New Mexico. Two had …
