This morning X and I had our first lesson together with Am. It went so well! I am still smiling. I love having a trainer to teach me because sometimes I get stuck and don’t know what to do so I end up not correcting an issue. Am makes sure that I stay focused and [...]

X’s First Lesson with Amy
Posted in Dressage, Horse, X, tagged Dressage, Horse, horses on March 31, 2008 | 2 Comments »
So things in my life have not been going so well as of late. In fact, things have been rather shitty. The one thing that seems to be going really well at this point though is all my horse stuff. Gennyral is doing just fine, his leg looks great, and his attitude is getting better. [...]
Gennyral’s First Horse Show
Posted in Dressage, Gennyral, Horse, tagged Horse, Horse Show, horses on March 29, 2008 | 4 Comments »
I had a truck, a trailer, a horse, a trainer, show clothes, and renewed all my memberships. I was still hesitant to take my horse to a show. He had never traveled to a horse show before, and I was worried that it would not go well. I could barely get him on and off [...]
Why not more about X?
Posted in Horse, X, tagged Horse, horses on March 28, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
People have asked me why do I not write more about X? The answer is simple. X is at a barn with no drama, he is a laid back horse, and when he was on stall rest not much changes from visit to visit. X is basically the same everyday when you are just working [...]
How I Got My Horse – Part 7
Posted in Gennyral, Horse, tagged Horse, horses on March 27, 2008 | 1 Comment »
For those of you who do not know the story so far here are the basics. My horse was in a program where he was not doing well. He sent many people to the hospital on many occasions. A new manager came in and Genny was on his way to the auctions. My trainer always [...]
I admit it. I am a HUGE Courtney King Fan

I have been a fan of Courtney King for a few years no. I think it has something to do with the fact that I went to school and rode dressage in New England. I also think that it is hard to not like her after you have seen her ride. She is quiet and [...]
No Lesson Today After All
Posted in Dressage, Horse, X, tagged Dressage, Horse, horses on March 24, 2008 | 4 Comments »
So my trainer called and asked if she could pretty please not come out and teach me this week so she could go buy new shoes. How on earth could I argue with that! She hardly ever gets time off from her day job so I have no issue letting her enjoy herself when she [...]
Best Easter Present Ever!
Posted in Horse, Other Junk, X, tagged Horse, horses on March 23, 2008 | 1 Comment »
In response to the previous post I have decided not to talk to my trainer about it unless she asks me. It is really none of my business.
I am sure that you are all dying to hear about how my first ride back on X was! I hate to disappoint but I don’t recall much [...]
Some days it is very hard to live at a different barn than my trainer…
Posted in Horse, Other Junk, tagged Horse, horses on March 21, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Sometimes I feel like I am being torn in two at my barn. My trainer and the barn manager used to be really good friends. They were both in each others weddings and were best friends for years and years. About 2 years ago they had a falling out. It is not important who’s fault [...]
Shaggy Horse Syndrome (SHS)
Posted in Gennyral, Horse, tagged Horse, horses on March 20, 2008 | 4 Comments »
Gennyral is afflicted with Shaggy Horse Syndrome (SHS). He rolls every day. EVERYDAY! Even when the ground is frozen and it is like rolling on cement. He does not care. When it is nice and muddy out he will roll multiple times to get a nice layer of filth all over himself. I have already [...]
