Since the beginning of the year, I've been putting up posts about myself, the ponies, and getting ready to jump back into the whole horse thing again. It's definitely been a process. Last Friday was my last day at work, so now I'm a stay at home mom with a little more free time on…
2020 Tack Thoughts
Hey horsey friends! Sadly, I am not back this week to talk about time I actually spent with ponies. Whomp whomp. Maybe next week! Instead, I just wanted to cover a little bit about my tack setup and what I plan to use. For years upon years, I didn't ride in a bridle. I had…
Ideas for 2020
We're getting close to being halfway done with January. Time moves way too fast when you're having fun, I guess! I still don't have time to ride just yet, plus Northeast Texas is getting pounded with rain, so pony time hasn't happened yet this year. But two more weeks of work and then my schedule…
Introductions for 2020
Hi there fellow horse-people! And non-horse-people, if you're here reading for some reason. That's okay too! I started this blog a little over a year ago as a way to track my riding time and keep up with whatever little progress I was making equestrian-wise. I made a few loooonnnggg posts about the few rides…
Finally Back!
March 23rd, 2019 Previously... I finally found a day where all three things lined up – I didn’t have to work, I felt good and had enough energy, and the weather was absolutely gorgeous – so I took a good four hours Saturday afternoon to spend with Lady. I probably won’t have that much…
Last Ride of 2018
Recap about December 29th. I had a really good friend in town over the weekend and we went out to the farm together to spend time with the horses. I had finally gotten Lady's new bridle, and in the correct size too, so I was excited to try it out! All the horses were adjusting…
Eleven Years
So yesterday, December 19th, was the day that I brought Lady home, way back in 2007. She was a fluffy nine year old pony that was very inquisitive, happy to have some new friends, and a little pushy and bossy, if I'm being honest. She's been mine for 11 years now and, just like I…
Enduring the Rain
Whelp... I haven't gotten out to see Lady this week. It rained pretty good last weekend, so I was giving the ground a few days to dry out and then I was feeling under the weather for two days, and then yesterday it poured rain again. Things just haven't been lining up this week. But…
More of the Same
From the day of December 7th. It rained last night and I came pretty close to not driving out to the farm after my alarm went up in the morning. Actually, I turned my alarm off and rolled back over without even thinking about the fact that I had set it early for a reason.…
Less Resentment than I Thought
December 3rd. After the major workout that she got two days earlier, I couldn’t just let her sit in the pasture for too long to think about how best to get back at me. So I dragged myself out of bed before the sun was up and drove out to the farm to put some…
