It has been a while. A long while. Between school, work, and life I just haven't had much time for blogging. I also haven't had much time for the horses. And how can I keep up a horse blog when I'm not doing much with horses? Sure, this blog is somewhat of a "lifestyle" blog …

Daily Devotion
I used to say I was a Christian, yet I rarely opened the Bible or went to church. Sure, I prayed before I fell asleep at night and believed that Jesus died to save us from our sins, but I didn't really try to know Him - or His plan for my life. I was …
Green Delight
There is so much green in this dish! Greens are one of the best things we can put in our bodies! This is sautéed asparagus, Brussels sprouts, tempeh and kale over brown rice. Cooked in toasted sesame oil, seasoned with sea salt, garlic powder, grated ginger, and tamari (gluten free soy sauce), Cook the asparagus and Brussels …
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 …
Disappointments
Disappointments are a part of being an equestrian. Bleak, I know, but very true. Horses get sick, hurt, or even die.

January Blues
If I had to describe January in Texas... IT'S WET! We have had so much rain, and I am beginning to forget what the sun looks like. I really do not mind the cooler temperatures, but constant rain makes life difficult for those of us that thrive on fresh air and the great outdoors. I …
Patience
"Adopt the pace of nature; her secret is patience." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson~ We've all been there: we think we are not achieving our goals fast enough; our horses are not where we want them to be; we are not where we want to be. This feeling of impatience can cause frustration and disappointment. The funny thing …
A Week from Hell
Well last week was interesting, to say the least. I do not think that I ever been happier for a Monday. That nasty cold I mentioned in my last post turned out to be an ear infection... Since apparently I am two. I also have poison ivy. For those of you who have never had poison ivy, …
