My first class of the day was an In Hand class. It was Showmanship. Considering I had no time to put polish on TM’s toes, brush her tail or do any of those types of things I was not holding my breath for a top finish. As the class started and the first person began [...]

The “Three Word” horse show – Embarrassing – Part 2
Posted in Horse, Horse Show, tagged Horse, horses on June 27, 2011 | 6 Comments »
So I was driving through the field and had made it half way in. There was some hay on the ground, etc so I was trying to avoid it the best I could…but the hay spot was pretty big. So I tried to speed up my rig hoping that a little speed would carry me [...]
The “Three Word” horse show – Embarrassing – Part 1
Posted in Horse, Horse Show, tagged Horse, horses on June 26, 2011 | 6 Comments »
So the morning of the show I was actually a little nervous about the whole thing. Looking back I am not sure if I was nervous about the show itself or if I was just nervous about going to a show by myself with a horse that has not shown before. Either way it was [...]

Ummm…hello tack store? Anyone there?
Posted in Horse, tagged Horse, horses on June 24, 2011 | 3 Comments »
So remember my crazy idea about getting my saddle fit? Well I guess it was not meant to be because the tack store never contacted me to say that it was done. So now I am stuck. I have a horse show tomorrow and a saddle that is 40 minutes away and it still is [...]
Gen’s Feet Stress Me Out
Posted in Gennyral, Horse, tagged Horse, horses on June 22, 2011 | 5 Comments »
So Gen just got trimmed two weeks ago. As I have been complaining about incessantly, his feet suck right now. I wanted to put glue on shoes on, but the trimmer thought it was best to leave Gen barefoot. I am trying to trust my new foot care provider, but it is hard! Gen’s feet [...]

Posted in Horse, tagged Horse, horses on June 20, 2011 | 5 Comments »
So there was no one around at the barn when I arrived. My trainer was up teaching a lesson and everyone else was clearly busy doing something else. I looked at my nervous, but not crazy Mare on the trailer and decided that I would just unload her myself. I put the lungeline on and [...]

So I must say that I am very proud of myself and of The Mare right now. We both survived trailering over to my trainers for a lesson! Yay! Let me start from the beginning… My day on Saturday started out with trailer maintenance stuff because I had not used my trailer in 8 months! [...]
Eye’s on the ground…
Posted in Horse, tagged Horse, horses on June 15, 2011 | 6 Comments »
So the last time I had a lesson was months ago. It was the day I had the total melt down on the SchoolMaster. I know that a lot of people think that a lesson every week is excessive, but I like having lessons. I think that people who don’t take them are weird. So [...]
A crazy idea…
Posted in Horse, tagged Horse, horses on June 12, 2011 | 4 Comments »
Things are going well with the mare these days…most of the time. Today I had a crappy ride, but this was the first one in a while. The worst thing is that I am still riding in that western saddle. The canter work is where the real issue lies now. I just don’t feel like [...]
