Imgaine my surprise when I check the comments from the last post and I get a link to a photo that a reader claims is a clean Gen. I know my horse, and he is NEVER clean so of course I eagerly clicked it and check it out… Clean Gen! Thank you Sarah!!!! I don’t [...]

2011 Snow Pictures!
Posted in Gennyral, Hill Farm, Horse, tagged Horse, horses on January 10, 2011 | 8 Comments »
Every year I take pictures of Gen playing in the show. This year though I tried to keep the playing to a minimum because I was worried about the footing and Gen’s Feet. As you can see below, my horse who is barefoot is getting snowballs in his feet. You can also see that his [...]
Who knew walking up to the barn could be so dangerous?

So I fell today. Three times. And no, I have still not ridden so it was not off the back of a horse. I fell trying to GET to my horse. Sigh. It snowed yesterday and Friday, neither day a ton, just a few inches total. Just enough to be super slippery and slick, especially [...]
The downside to only riding one day a week…

It is snowing yet again today. I knew it was going to and since the barn where the schoolmaster is an hour and I HATE driving in the snow I decided to cancel my lesson yesterday. Looking at the cars slide along the road outside I think I made a good decision. The problem is [...]

So every year I try and set up some goals that I plan to accomplish. Normal these goals are just a loose way of organizing my hopes for year. They also tend to be all show related. Since I am not 100% sure I am going to show this year my goals are going to [...]
The Glass is Half Full Right?

Imagine my surprise when I showed up to the barn yesterday with temperatures in the 40s and this is what I saw. No, I was not surprised by the boots. I knew that the barn owner put those on because the footing was sloppy on top and frozen underneath (not a good combo for tendon [...]
One of the reasons I love the Rose Bowl Parade so much…
Posted in Horse, tagged Horse, horses on January 2, 2011 | 6 Comments »
is because I think it is the most horsey of all the parades out there. While I am consistently disappointed with how little TV coverage the horse units get during the actual parade this year I had two pleasant surprises. The first was the discovery of something called Equestfest. RFDtv had live coverage of demos [...]
Happy 19th Birthday Gennyral!

Gen is officially 19 years young today! I hope I get another 19 years with my pony. He is such a cutie! How many horses would let you put shinny banners on them without bating an eye? Granted he batted a lot more than just an eye when I tried to feed him carrot cake! [...]
