I want this horse!

This rider clearly should not be allowed anywhere near horses. This horse though is FANTASTIC! Look at how poorly this guy was setting the horse up. And yet the horse jumps. Gennyral’s massage therapist sent me this video in an e-mail with the title “I hope he wasn’t wearing a up”. All I can say [...]
Sometimes you have to think about how good you have it…

Today it is windy. Like 40 mph wind gusts and consistently blowing over 20 mph. It is also only in the 40s so it is cold. It is one of those days that makes you think twice before walking out the door. The kind of day where you think to yourself, “I don’t really need [...]

I just woke up from the most bizarre dream. Phoenix and I were competing at Devon…in the adult amateur hunter under saddle class. And it was in indoor show. How wierd is that! So yesterday I did something that I have never done before…I forgot my riding clothes!!!! So instead of heading to the barn [...]

It was so cold yesterday morning that there was frost on the ground when I went to get Gen in from the field. Gen was not so sure about coming in. Normally I just have to walk towards the end of the barn and he heads over. Not so much yesterday. I didn’t mind walking [...]

So even though I do try to keep this blog as horse centered as possible, sometimes I need to share a little bit about my everyday life. I spent all of yesterday morning helping to pack care packages for our troops. This picture is of a quarter of the parking lot and let me tell [...]

I showed up at Phoenix’s Barn on Friday afternoon. And found this. Why is this so interesting? Can you tell now? Phoenix’s Owner is backing the stallion! She normally doesn’t break horses until they are 4, but this little stud muffin needed to at least be backed before he got the winter off and grows [...]
