Ride Time and Sunshine

I've been working on a post for a couple weeks now, but it's hard to finish. We lost my grandfather on February 24th and his funeral followed March 23rd which happened to be his 96th birthday. I'm sure he planned that in some way. I just have had a lot to say and putting it…

Riding the Wave

All I know is that I am about ready to sit a buck to get some ride time as soon as this snow melts. We got in four good days of in-hand work and movement on the lunge before New England realized they almost missed the most important part of the winter. Snow. But we…

Go Away January!

And just like that January is out the door! I truly did not mean to let it go this long without a post but it's just continued to be a wild ride. I'm hoping that January was an opportunity for all the not so good stuff to happen and get it out of the way…

2023 : Wrap Up

We finally got that snow that has been making it's way around our little state so far this winter. I'm sad to see it go before having a chance to enjoy it with the boys, especially since it's being replaced with warm weather and lots of rain this week. At least I'm getting a chance…

Trying “New” Things

I originally thought this post could be "Winter is Coming" but I think I've used that already in the past and it's not quite cold enough yet, but we're getting there. You know it's coming when as soon as the sun goes down the arena freezes and you're left with too much of a crunch…

Too Fast

You know the Holiday season is upon us when one minute you're putting pumpkins on your front step and buying candy, and the next you're trying to ignore the multitude of Black Friday emails warning you Christmas is just around the corner. What's worse? Realizing it's been a month since your last blog post. Whoops!…

Time for Turnout

Someone finally got to make their way out onto full turnout over the last couple weeks. A few hours turned into a couple half days and then finally full days. Game on baby. Although he's not out with his buddies just yet, I'm sure Dylan was just as happy to at least have neighbors within…

Perfectionism (it’s a wordy one)

Something that Katie from ISC and I have been working on in my bi-weekly sessions is figuring out where my beliefs, supportive and not so much, are stemmed from. I wish I could channel the knowledge she has into my posts but I can only really put down my understanding and how it pertains to…

Poultice Upon Poultice

"14 weekends we've lost". That's what the little old man at the counter said while J and I were paying our bill at breakfast on Friday. We had both taken the day off to head out and find something to do other than walk through Mystic Seaport in the rain for our anniversary. 14 weekends,…

Of Course…

I feel like I could write a book at this point going over all of the adventures Wendy and I have survived over our 10-year (and continuing) friendship. A Series of Unfortunate Pony-Shenanigans we could call it. Obviously we have our lost shoe stories where most of them involve me almost dying, but that's normal.…
