And I am shocked to see how few people there are in my class! There are only 12 people at training 3+4…and I know half of them personally! Hahaha. This show is so small in comparison to past years. I was surprised to see my “rival” was showing in the same division that I am. [...]

Giving my poor pony a pat on the neck so he knows it will all be okay. By the time we tacked him up they were already on their second class of the division before mine. Not good. The Young Rider and I hurried up to the warm up ring (which was empty) and I [...]

What a year Steffen Peter’s is having!!! He beat Anky in Aachen! All 3 days of competition! He was the 2009 Grand Prix Champion! I loved watching his freestyle from Vegas, but I had to share the video of him at Aachen because look at how on the aids Ravel is! It is something to [...]

So I can tell you that on July 4th I was in a pretty pissy mood about doing this show. You know the saying that “timing is everything”? Well, I did not have any timing on the 4th of July. I had the option of waking up at 4:30am on the 5th or going to [...]

I think we are at least going to the show… So yesterday I spent ALL day between the two barns. I had a lesson so I wanted clarification about his hind end issues and I also wanted to see if Texas would get into MY trailer. As you can tell with the picture above that [...]
Mini-Vacation To Saratoga

So months ago my Mom and I thought it would be a great idea if we went together on a cattle drive. It took a bit of research, but we actually found several dude ranch type things here in the Northeast. I cannot be away from my Gennyral for to many days in a row [...]
The best part about hunter shows is…

That you don’t have to pre-enter! So I had grand plans and time has sort of snuck up on me. I am no longer sure I am going to do the show on Sunday. Why? 1) His hind end has been a little funky. I know that he is tired from having to use his [...]
