The past two days have been a whirlwind of blowing and going! Add to that some life altering changes (more on those later) and you have one tired cowgirl. After all the rain we’ve had it has just been ridiculously muddy. And frankly I am tired of not getting rides in on my horses. So [...]
Despite the torrential downpours we’ve had on Sunday and Monday and this morning (or some crazy combination of those days- I believe that it’s rained so much, I’ve lost track) everything is turning green. The trees are budding, the air is warmer and I even managed to get slightly sunburned yesterday! Spring makes me want [...]
A few years ago, I got one of those really fun to ride horses in to train. One that was already really broke. You should understand there are varying levels of broke, and even in within the horse industry, people will not agree on what a broke horse is; and just because a horse is [...]
Here my selections for this week’s Macro Monday Challenge… Gumper’s Nose- By the way- is there anything more velvety soft than the muzzle of a horse? I just love them! A bud on our Cottonwood Tree: More buds- on a different tree: Nora’s withers: A Cedar Tree:
I know y’all are probably tired of hearing me tell you how much I love this horse- it’s not as if there aren’t another 80 horses at home I could love as much, but the fact is, I love, love, love my Gumpers! And insomuch as a horse is able he really likes me too! [...]
Now before anyone goes and gets all offended about the title, you should know I’m talking about my twenty-nine year old horse, Zero. He’s the fatty!

When Zach came to visit last weekend, he was able to bring my precious to me. What exactly is my precious, you ask? My precious is his brother Guthrie’s awesome Cannon EOS 10 camera. Guth was nice enough to let me have it in Texas for the remainder of my trip here. It probably didn’t [...]
In case you’ve been in a hole and haven’t been paying attention, we’ve been discussing the current state of the horse industry. So you can catch up and join in the discussion, you might want to start at the beginning: Introduction Part One Animal Rights v. Animal Welfare Part Two Part Three Part one: Grass [...]
Here you go… Go easy on the comments. Honestly I’ve been on my horse about 10 times since I’ve been here. Ridiculous. If y’all could arrange about 10 days of rain-free weather, I’d sure appreciate it!
Well I’m back! I’m not sure yet if I’m going to share the videos from the barrel race or not- but I am going to share all about what Zach and I did, and try not to bore you with my drivel about how much I love him and blah, blah, blah. I would have [...]
