Tracy from Fly on Over came up with this cool challenge and I wanted to play! 1. Most influential person on your riding This answer has three parts for me, mostly because I can never give a one absolute answer to anything. In the way of support, the most influential person is my husband. Without him, my horse life would be drastically different. He also believes in me and gives me the little push I need sometimes to press on….
Stealing this questionnaire from Fly on Over who stole it from Viva Carlos who got it from she can’t remember thus proving there are no original ideas on the internet. Jk! 1. Whats your horses name and how did they come by it? Simon’s registered name is Williebered. I am told he was named after a relative. His original barn name was also Willy, although I didn’t find this out until years after I knew him as Simon. His show…
A few weeks ago, I wrote about what I thought made a good equine blog. Digesting this topic some more internally, I wanted to write a follow up post about what I think may be even more important – being a good blog citizen. I didn’t realize when I started blogging that I would truly be entering a close knit community of people. I now call several people I’ve met through blogging friends, and even if you’re not someone I…
I have been awarded the Sunshine Award by Paola’s Horse Blog. Thank you!

Here are the questions: Mares or Geldings? Geldings. I don’t do mares well… unless they act…
I’ve always been a blog aficionado. I technically started my 1st blog in 2001 when they weren’t that popular, and have read different ones throughout the years since then. Now that I’m blogging “for real” here at SMTT, I follow a lot of equestrian blogs. At the moment, it’s up to 302! Of course not all of those are very active, but I pretty much glance at most posts that go up from those 302 blogs (especially Monday-Friday, I get…
Like Laura from The Roany Pony, I have a weeee bit of an Instagram problem. I attract a lot of twelve-year-old girls to my instagram page because I publish a lot of pictures of ponies. A lot. of pictures. of ponies. Non-horsey friends think I may be borderline insane. Actually, even the horsey friends might think so too because they will also instagram the selfies, pictures of beer and tacos. Me? I pretty much play to my audience of twelve-year-old girls….
I won’t lie, things have been a little dull around here lately. Don’t get me wrong, dull can be a great thing. It means your horse isn’t trying to kill himself (again), and you’re happy with your barn, etc. Dull though is not a good thing for blogging fodder. So instead of bore you with intense descriptions of trot circles and canter transitions (our theme for this week), I’ve created a little “this or that” – equestrian style. If you’re…
I’ve been blogging for a long time. Not just since She Moved To Texas’ inception in 2010, but with my first domain (now a professional portfolio site) in 2001. This meant I blogged through high school and college and have made plenty of mistakes along the way. My biggest takeaway from those mistakes is don’t be a drama llama. With blogs I read going private, standing dormant, or even ending up on Chronicle and then going poof – I can’t…
