When I went to check on the water trough levels the horses were standing together by a small boarded fence. It’s windy and no sign of the sun. They had just finished drinking up some water and then they stand looking at me. Now, granted I can usually tell HOW COLD IT IS OUTSIDE by […]

how do you know you are stressed?
Yesterday, I was getting ready to ride my horse, Grace. I worked with her on the ground getting her to move and trot and walk under my instruction and cues. After a few moments of lunging her, I got extremely dizzy and light headed . I had to stop and sat on a stool in […]
Owning horses is a gift
My foot is much improved and so I rode my horse this weekend. It is a thankful thanksgiving knowing I can get my foot back in the stirrup without pain. I was amazed really.

my tie dye t-shirt
Here I am with Grace and my riding outfit this morning. I find Grace can spook a bit. As an 11 year old trained horse she needs a bit more practice at not being so untrusting of what I put on my head. She never looked twice at my shirt! I have hat hair and […]
On The Ground Horse Play
Lately, my husband and I have been working on a playground for our riding horses. It’s fun and they do need to get used to different objects, sounds and anything they may come across when riding out of an arena. Making our horses aware and less spooky is just making our rides on them more […]
