As promised in my last post, I am going to give an update of what the heck has been going on with me and my horses. For starters, we moved. My parents sold their farm, I moved to an apartment, and the boys moved to a boarding facility. It has been a big change, and …

Change Is In The Air
Wow, it has been a little while since I have posted on here. So much has changed that I actually considered starting a new blog. There are just so many posts on here that I cherish, particularly the posts about my journey with Chance. That being said, I will be making some changes to this …
Maybe We Should Just Let Them Be
I am in several horse groups over on Facebook, and some of the recent posts I have been seeing have gotten me thinking a bit about all the stuff we do (and give) to our horses. Hormones, supplements, complicated feeding regimens, head to toe fly protection, injections, chiropractic work, and the list could go on …
Curing a Bad Mood
Anyone who knows me in real life knows that I can sometimes be the queen of mood swings. My poor family. I just get in these weird funks sometimes, and I am not always the best at handling too much on my plate. Stress and me do not mix very well. Over the years, I …
Horses Are in my Blood
I have been in a weird place in my equestrian life for a while now. I no longer care much about competing, nor am I interested in selling horses (which was my goal for a long time). So, why have horses if I am not competitive or trying to make money? To be frank, I …
Why Are We All So Busy?
This is a question that I have pondered for years. Why is there always so much to do all the time? Why are there never enough hours in the day? If this whole quarantine/COVID-19 situation showed me anything, it's that life would be a heck of a lot more pleasant if I had a little …
Running and Riding
I have been a rider for about 19 years now, and a runner for around 11ish (I think) off and on. Running doesn't seem to be a popular recommended workout for riders, at least from what I see in the social media world. However, I have found my running to be so beneficial to my …
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. …
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. I mean, I'd never say never but I am officially obsessed with thoroughbreds. Over the past almost nine years …
Flynn Rider The Horse
"I don't want the perfect horse. I want the right horse." - Amy Fleming, Heartland Season 13 Flynn Rider the horse. That quote about sums it up. He's not the fancy 3'6" warmblood like I used to dream about, but he has one of the best minds and sweetest souls I've seen in a long …
