I got a new riding helmet for Christmas this year! I was so excited because I honestly did not expect it. I got the IRH ATH SSV, in black with black vents. It is, in my opinion, nice and stylish without being too noticeable. After all, I want people to notice me and/or my horse, … More Review: IRH ATH SSV Helmet
It’s pretty common knowledge that I hate scary movies. I just don’t watch them, or else my over-active imagination haunts me for days. Halloween can be a touchy time for me…you never know when you might flip on the TV and accidentally see part of a horror flick marathon. So it was great that this afternoon … More The Horses Go Trick-or-Treating
Tonight I rode Knightwind and since it was one of the first really chilly nights we’ve had, I decided to ride bareback. And I also decided to wear the winter breeches that I got for my birthday.

That … More Instagramming the Farm
My sister and brother-in-law are happily expecting their first child this fall, and I’m excitedly anticipating being a first-time aunt! Of course, that means lots of shopping to do before the baby arrives – and obviously some horse-related items will be making their way into the wardrobe from Auntie Lisa (duh). The problem is, I … More Horse Clothes for Baby
I’ve always sort of wanted a horse-themed ring that is cute and doesn’t overtly scream, “I LOVE HORSES! SEE MY RING?! IT’S HORSEY!” So I was very excited when I stumbled across this snaffle bit ring on Etsy. I thought it was so cute, so I ordered it and have been waiting anxiously for it … More New Snaffle Bit Ring
