I am looking forward to a present under the tree for me. I am spending time outside today with my horse and I may just walk around and tell jokes to my mare. Why not? It is a holiday time and my stress is the food buying and preparations for a nice table to sit […]

just our horses standing
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 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 […]
