As you may have noticed, I’ve been out of town for about a week. We packed my car full of Christmas presents, three dogs, and barely fit ourselves on the 2400 mile round trip from Texas to North Carolina. We drove straight through on the way there (20.5 hours) which was pretty miserable. After visiting family and friends in North Carolina for the week, we started the drive back and stopped in Jackson, MS to stay with Tim’s family for…
This will be a lot different than 2012’s year in review since it’s the first year since I was in college that I rode one horse consistently throughout the entire year. Though we had our rough patches, I am still beyond thrilled at my equestrian 2013 🙂 January Simon comes up really lame in the right hind. I notice a little swelling, and get him to the vet. They take two views of his hock, say they don’t see anything…
Taken from Viva Carlos who is the master of all the horse surveys and questions. Also, I’m filling this with old pictures of Simon that I haven’t ever posted before so if you wonder why he’s skinny… that’s why 😉 1. If your horse could talk what would they say? What would they be like? Simon would be super friendly. He just wants everyone to like him and everyone to be his friend… whether it’s horse, human or dog. He’d…
Once upon a time, my horse was lame for 4 months at the beginning of the year. Oh wait, that was this year. Therefore, I didn’t get around at setting goals until July when I figured that he was (hopefully) not on the verge of being lame forever and I had successfully moved barns. I definitely did not accomplish all that I set out to… can I use the excuse that we only had six months? No? Okay… well here’s…
Simon and I wish you a wonderful holiday! Stay safe, happy and warm with your friends and family. Oh, and give your horse a kiss if you can 🙂
Simon doesn’t usually write guest posts, but when he does… he’s begging for Christmas gifts. What Simonpants Wants, Needs, and Desperately Deserves for Christmas – 2013 Edition Update for the mass public – even though I didn’t know about treats until the summer of 2012, I have now had a full year of treat eating under my belt. My palette is also refined enough to now enjoy carrots, so I recommend you mail them to Texas. I live in the main barn…
It’s my burfday. I’m 29. My husband is 6 years older than me, so I watched his metamorphosis from 20’s to 30’s when I was in my early/mid 20’s. At the time, I kind of dismissed his mild panic. What’s the deal? If you don’t get older you die! And then I hit 27, and he said “Now you’re in your late 20’s.” “No, I’m in my mid 20’s still.” 28 is definitely late 20’s, but not as late as…
I had to do two posts today, becuase I got my Equestrian Blogger Gift Exchange secret santa gift! Yippieee!! Thank you soooo much to Adventures with Shyloh for these amazing gifts! They arrived all wrapped and purdiful, but like the present hungry christmas-monger I am, I ripped them all open with glee before remembering to take a picture. You can view the aftermath first. She was very accommodating of my snooty hunter requests 🙂 I now have a beautiful wood…
