It has been raining like crazy all day today, so there was no riding. Instead, I am just reminiscing about yesterday's ride. Chance was pretty much perfect, and after the past couple of months, I just want to soak it up. I expected him to be wild, since it was cold out, but he was …

Life Lately
I had an interesting moment on Chance yesterday. So, he is finally getting back to jumping again and, since he is often wild as can be after he has had time off, we have been taking things slow. Trotting and cantering tiny jumps, working over ground rails, that sort of thing. He has been good for the …
The Tastes of Summer
Just because summer is over, it doesn't mean we can't enjoy summery smoothies right?! I have been on a tropical chocolatey smoothie kick! I refuse to let go of summer.

Our bodies do great things for us, and …
Update on Chance
If you follow me on my other social media accounts, you have probably seen that Chance is finally back in work! It has been a long couple of months, but he seems to be doing okay! We even "jumped" the other day. By "jumped," I mean we trotted a tiny trot jump and some ground …
Positive Vibes
You know that moment when you are jumping around, and you are worried about your horse refusing at one of the jumps. Perhaps he or she has had issues with it in the past, or maybe it is a brand new one that he or she has never jumped. Whatever your concern, you go over …

"I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength." - Philippians 4:13 That is such an inspirational verse. Yet, when you read more of the passage it is even more powerful. This one line is often quoted, seen on t-shirts, tattooed onto people. I find that the preceding two verses really change how …
