This post is exactly what it sounds like. Just a bunch of photos of Duke sleeping at horse shows. I swear he acts like he’s at a 5-star hotel and just luxuriates in his extra-deep bedding. All the photos here were taken during separate naps. No doubling up and taking different angles of the same … More Photo Series: Duke Sleeping at Shows
On Cyber Monday I scored the deal of all deals. It was so good, I’m pretty sure it was a mistake. I bought Noble Outfitters Alpine Wool Socks for $0. Yep. $0. I didn’t really think my purchase would go through. I thought maybe someone would catch it and either update the order or cancel … More Review: Noble Outfitters Alpine Wool Socks
Merry Christmas! I thought it would be fun to use my Instagram Top Nine as an inspiration for this post. What a super encapsulation of my year. Much of it was focused on getting married. A lot of it centered around Duke. And there was a dash of the ridiculous just to keep things interesting. … More 2018 Top Nine
Our last lesson of 2018 was a doozy in the best way. It was a sort of year-end celebration/day to mark the end of my lease on Duke. Trainer B put the jumps up and pulled out the scary skinny so we could do some XC-style practice in our indoor. We started out with something … More Indoor XC Practice
Duke gets so intensely itchy during the winter. I think it’s because he’s blanketed and so he can’t roll/scratch as well. So, when the curry comb comes out, all bets are off. The more pokey the currycomb, the better. His favorite curry has these long nubs that have almost no give. He’s very itchy. He … More The Itchiest Horse in the Land
I love this post idea from Amanda at The $900 Facebook Pony. It’s been a heck of a year and it’s a fun way to reflect on it. Favorite Horse Show Picture I debated between using this one and using a photo taken a few strides later as we jumped an up bank out of … More Bloghop: Favorites of 2018
Has anyone else been getting a ton of Facebook/online ads for SheFit sports bras? I have, and let me tell you – they worked on me. I bought one. (I purchased this with my own money, and have not been compensated in any way to write this honest review. Everything here is my own opinion.) … More Review: SheFit Sports Bra
I love the tradition of the blogger gift exchange! I mailed out my gift this week, so…watch your mailboxes! I received a wonderful gift this year from Amy and Gwen. It was an adorable Christmas ornament that looks just like Duke. It’s sort of uncanny. It was especially sweet because I love having ornaments that … More Blogger Secret Santa
Ya’ll know that song, “My Grownup Christmas Wish” by Amy Grant? The chorus goes: So here’s my lifelong wish,My grownup Christmas list,Not for myself, But for a world in need. It’s been sort of running through my head lately but with sliiiiiightly different words. So here’s my lifelong wish,My horsey Christmas list,Not for myself,But for a … More Horsey Christmas List
We had a very fun lesson last night with lots of tight turns, interesting jumps and shouts of “more leg!” And then, at the end, my lesson mate G and I swapped horses. Because why not? It was a blast! G’s horse, The Chief – yes, The Chief – is super different than Duke. His bascule is … More Swapsies
