Sunday, February 7, 2016 I arrived at the barn hoping for two things. #1 that Khaleesi wasn’t lame or off from her kicking/slipping episode. #2 that she wouldn’t walk away from me to show she was looking for that ever elusive relationship ‘space’ when things aren’t going so well. When I pulled in the girlsContinue reading “Excellent Together”

Motivation
Saturday, February 6, 2016 I have spent much time and thought on the human-horse relationship lately. So much that I’ve even begun to question my own sanity and that point I’m pretty certain is well past the point others who know me have done the same. It becomes obsessive- like a struggling teenage relationship… WhatContinue reading “Motivation”
Don’t give up on me… I won’t give up on you.
Tuesday, February 2, 2016 Monday was cold and rainy. A good day to take a barn break- do some actual work – and let the horse have a non-human day to just be horses. Tuesday was overcast and damp. I dragged my feet getting things done in the house and found a million excuses notContinue reading “Don’t give up on me… I won’t give up on you.”
I’d like to get to know you
Sunday, January 31, 2016 I have been thinking about the human-horse relationship more and more lately. I used to think training was about getting the horse to do what you want/need, hopefully in a gentle way but the point was… Well… Obedience. It would be a bonus if that would also equal willingness. Kind ofContinue reading “I’d like to get to know you”
How a year changes things.
Sunday, January 23, 2016 Last winter I spent a lot of time riding Faygo and ponying Khaleesi along to help build her fitness. I used to nickname her ‘the anchor’ (not a great nickname for an endurance horse in training I suppose). Pictures from last year ponying Khaleesi: Today was the first time I rodeContinue reading “How a year changes things. “
Snow day gift
Friday, January 22, 2016 As I lingered under the covers Thursday morning I thought about how pretty and mild the day was forecasted to be. The one day of the week I was booked solid from 9am-7:30pm. I grabbed my phone to check morning emails without climbing out of the covers even for coffee toContinue reading “Snow day gift “

Baby it’s cold outside
Monday, January 18, 2016 15*F. I’m not sure if that is the coldest I’ve ridden in or not. It was at least sunny so I thought – why not? So it’s cold. I have layers. I often say the only ride I regret is the one I didn’t take. I think I could haveContinue reading “Baby it’s cold outside”
Serpentina
Sunday, January 17, 2016 Make tracks around every sagebrush in this area. It could take you all day- but once you do it you’ll have the best riding you’ve known yet. (Loosely quoted from Buck on the 7clinics set) The saddle came right before my 2 busiest days of the week which called for greatContinue reading “Serpentina “
It’s here!!!!!!!!!!
I love it… Jamie Evan at Phoenix Rising (formerly Imus) did a fantastic job of making their great saddle with a few tweaks that make it work better for us! Can’t wait to ride in it later this week! I also use their bits and love them too! Lots of great horseContinue reading “It’s here!!!!!!!!!!”
