Aside from running myself over with my car, I did have some great fun this weekend when awesome blogger friend Tracy from Fly On Over came to Austin for vacation! Now I’m not sure you’re aware, but no trip to the Lone Star state is complete without a visit to nerd horse and yours truly. Lucky for me, Tracy and her awesome husband agreed to trek outside of Austin for a bit of a horsey adventure. When I finally managed…
Things are pretty slow here, but the weather is getting dryer so hopefully that means lots of riding in my future! To beat the slowness, I’ve crafted a little online equestrian challenge that I offer up to you all. I love a good scavenger hunt, and think this will be fun! Here’s how it works – I have ten items outlined below. If you want to play, look for a video or image (please link images back to the source…
My mood has been foul this week for no particular reason. I could dwell on that, or I could distract myself with an equestrian fantasy in The Owl’s Approve‘s blog hop this week. I choose option two. Let’s pretend that financial restrictions don’t exist and logistics isn’t a nightmare. If you could do anything with your Ponykins, what would you do? If I could do anything with Simon, it would be show at WEF for the entire twelve week circuit….
Other possible titles for this post include – Lauren Gets Super Spoiled for the Equestrian Gift Exchange, Genny is Oh So Gennyrous and SQUEEE! During my post Christmas holiday staycation (oh so exciting blog post coming soon on that), I received an unexpected package at my front door. When I saw the return address was Genny from A Gift Horse, I did a little tiny squeal of delight and quickly went to open it. Immediately I spyed with my little…
A while ago, I wrote a post called the Makings of a Great Blog. I still like that post,and I still agree with what I wrote two years ago now. Now I know a lot more of the blogging community than I did back then. Though I’ve always followed a lot of horse blogs, I feel more a part of the community now. I talk to lots of bloggers on a daily basis, and if I’m being honest I’m being…
True story – I’ve had visions of trying to organize an equestrian bloggers conference one day. Another true story – that’s a pretty big undertaking. However, I was talking with my local blog buddy Jen from Wyvern Oaks about how cool it would be if we all get together, and then we got to brainstorming… You are invited to an equestrian bloggers weekend in Austin, Texas! Jen and I, and possibly the super cool $900 Facebook Pony (depending on the…
So. It seems everyone some are upset with me about the anonymous blog survey posts. I have mixed feelings about that, which I don’t think I’ll go into. Instead, I’ll say that I promised I would post all the responses… and I did regardless of how I felt about some of them. Like almost everything in life, I don’t think that little blogging series was wholly good or bad. This is not a post about that though, even though it was spurred…
It’s the final anonymous survey blog post! I daresay today is the least controversial of the three posts… which may be good. I get the sense that after last week’s post, everyone is ready for a little less drama on their lives! Thoughts on overall horsemanship. I had a bad experience in IHSA, and I’d like to share it, and call out a few specific barns in the process… but I don’t want to stir drama. Seriously though, it’s not okay…
