Ever since my first CT back in May, I’ve been contemplating an air vest. One of my team members took a nasty fall and ended up with broken bones in her spine, ribs, wrist/hands, shoulderblade and collarbone. She was not wearing her air vest. She was running Beginner Novice. It was just a freak thing. … More Comparing Air Vests
We made it to Lexington for Rolex! We opted out of the first day of Dressage to give the boys a day of non-horse related activities and hit up a couple of distilleries in town. Woodford Reserve was gorgeous and historic. I’m not really a bourbon drinker but theirs was actually quite smooth and drinkable. The … More But First, Bourbon & Tacos

I have had a strong case of it in the past. I think it’s just how I look when I concentrate. I just look like I’m mad/upset/frustrated but … More Do You Suffer from RBF?
Since going to a once-a-week riding program after a couple years of 4-6 days per week, I found my fitness level plummeted. Fast. And because I don’t have an option for riding more often right now, I decided to start running (again). When I started running over the summer I just kind of…started running. No … More Getting Riding Fit with C25K
BECAUSE I AM! I. Am. So. Excited. I have never been, but always wanted to go! The way I decided to go is actually the cutest story ever. My BF and I were talking about a spring mini-vacation somewhere in the U.S. that we’d never been before. We tossed out Austin or Nashville. The other day, we … More Who’s Going to Rolex?
The local tack store had a big sale this weekend for Valentine’s Day and I went to get a new pair of winter gloves because they were 50% off and my old ones are literally torn and very sad. I also needed some oil and supplies for my new saddle and Lund flash bridle (review to … More Oops…
So I’m a little late on posting this because I didn’t get back home for the holidays until Monday…but I had an awesome gift waiting for me when I got back! These were such thoughtful gifts from Teresa and Stinker at Eventing Saddlebred Style! I’m obsessed with the tote from One Horse Threads. The thin but … More Blogger Secret Santa Exchange
I hesitate to call these “resolutions” because everyone knows that people usually quit their resolutions within a month. I’m pretty determined to accomplish a few things this year, though, and everyone also knows that writing down goals and telling people about them makes you more likely to achieve them.
