There are a lot of these lists out there – we have Buzzfeed and other sites to thank for that. 10 Signs You’re in Your Late 20’s! 27 Things Only Best Friends With the Same Color Hair Know! Some of them are funny, and some of them are tiring. Last night at the grocery store, I did something that surprised myself. While walking my semi-full cart to my car in the parking lot, I told it to “Whoa.” Out…
I’m having some troubles right now, and I don’t want to talk about it. My horse is fine though… love him. Let’s tackle something easy – like perspective. For example, I think the 3’6″ hunter ring looks terrifying. I am pretty damn verbal that I have zero interest in showing hunters that high. 3′ Adult Amateurs? Totally. 3’3″ Amateur Owners? Maybe. 3’6″ Amateur Owners? Oh to the hells no. So, so so big. Then we stroll on over to the jumper…
I admire blogger’s who puts controversial topics out there, because it’s something I do myself a lot. I also respect the following blog, but I really disagree with the case against the OTTB from Sprinkler Bandit last week. Now before I write my rebuttal, I want to place a few caveats to the following. A) I have potentially the world’s safest OTTB. I admit this. I am no star rider, and Simon makes up for my flaws in so many ways….
Late blog post today because I guess with a dead cell phone and no dogs to wake me up… I needed to catch up on sleep. A lot of sleep. Over 12 hours of sleep – whoops! So anyway, last weekend at Pin Oak more than one person commented to me about how the junior riders looked like they weren’t having any fun. Pairing that with a conversation with a friend who told me about a horrible show of…
Still editing photos from over the weekend, but I’m going to have to step on it because I’m heading out of town for a long weekend to go home to North Carolina. Simonista is getting some training rides and a lesson taken by a friend while I spend some quality time with family. The blog won’t go silent though, as I will have some Pin Oak goodness and other posts ready for y’all. Say what you want about hunter braids,…
In this blogging series, I’m sharing my knowledge as best I can about the world of equestrian blogging. Last week, we talked about the reasons to blog and picking a blogging platform. This week we’re going to tackle my favorite part of blog design – layout! This is an area where I have a little bit more professional knowledge than some others. My professional career started out with web design, and I do a lot of UI layout these days….
It had been a really long time since I had taken images I was happy with at a nice horse show. With the heritage Pin Oak Charity Horse Show a mere two hour drive away, I decided to trek out this weekend in search of some AA pony time. And I found ponies, literally. Also junior hunters, adult jumpers, and some AO/junior jumpers. All the pretty horses essentially. Being me, I tried to take a series of photographs to turn into…
This is going to be one of those topics where the comments are more interesting than the post, at least that’s my prediction. Carly from Poor Woman Showing wrote a post this week that made me do a fist pump. If you haven’t read it, you should. Basically it’s a “don’t tell me how to live my life yo” post, which I can certainly appreciate as a person who has been told how to live her life through blog feedback….
