So winner of my little contest yesterday is…Big Chicken! Here is her version of the story! “Oh, this is easy! Gen is doing his ‘Lord of the Rings’ impersonations. First, he starts off as Legolas the Elf – striding not ‘in’ the snow, but actually on top of it, as only elves can do. In [...]

So after my scary adventure yesterday I thought I would make something good out of it and make it into a blog contest. I am posting the pictures of my visit to Gen’s barn on yesterday with no captions. I want you all out there to come up with what you think might have happened. [...]

Sorry about not posting the pictures yesterday, I was out having some birthday fun! The roads were totally fine, but I ran out of time to see the boys (which I am totally regretting because it is snowing like crazy right now and the roads are not so good anymore) and by the time I [...]
I GOT MY SADDLE BACK!!!

I am so happy right now! I GOT MY SADDLE BACK! I found the big box by my front door when I got home late last night. It is BEAUTIFUL! I did not even recognize that it was my saddle when I opened the box because it is that nice looking. And soft, it is [...]
Poor Pony

So as you all know I was super excited that Phoenix got accepted into a breed registry and that we were going out recognized this year. In fact, I was so excited that I went ahead and also registered him with USDF and USEF. Now, the bad news is…Phoenix was not officially registered with the [...]
Umm…Saddle where are you?

So it has been exactly 6 weeks today since my saddle left me to go on a Canadian adventure. And I still don’t have it back. I was kind of hoping to get it yesterday, but no such luck. I am going nutty without it. Everyday when I get home from work I keep hoping [...]
6 Weeks From Fat and Lazy To Fat and Fit (or at least more fit)
Posted in Dressage, Horse, Phoenix, tagged Horse, horses on February 22, 2010 | 9 Comments »
So as you all know I have no issue with being a FAT rider. What I do have a problem with is being an UNFIT rider. There are plenty of people, both skinny and fat, who are not in good shape. You see them going around the warm up ring hardly able to breath, asking [...]
But…Miracles are Supposed to Happen to Everyone!

I have been reading the blog “Sweet Horses Breath” for a while now. It is about a young woman, Kristen, and her horse, Lazarus, who is suffering with a very bad case of Laminitis. She started the blog to chronical the journey of her first horse Lazarus, who is an off the track thoroughbred. It [...]
Baby horse pictures!

Clearly, these pictures are about a month old at this point because there is still plenty of snow on the ground by me. PO was asking about her babies so I wanted to show her that they are all doing well!
I am such a newbie to this breed stuff…
Posted in Dressage, Horse, Horse Show, Phoenix, tagged Horse, horses on February 19, 2010 | 8 Comments »
It has not even been a month and I already hate Phoenix’s show name. Day after day I keep hoping that it will grow on me, but it just hasn’t. If anything, I like the name a lot less than I did when I spur of the moment put it down on the breed association [...]
