Horsekeeping
Awareness of the outside world. The Chronicle of the Horse: Jung Leads Dressage In His Return To Land Rover Kentucky CCI5*-L, Berreth, Apr 29, 2022. Click over for video of Chipmunk. (Can’t find direct link.) That’s how you do Eventing Dressage. Yeah, it’s horse world rather than outside world. Anything done that well bears amplifying. They also larked through the cross-country and won on a world record score. His horses always look so happy with their jobs.

In the Spring of 1992, we moved into a rental house with a barn on the property. We’ve had the horses in the backyard ever since.
Losses
Travel. Maybe we would not have gallivanted around the globe. At least we would have had the option.
Facilities.
People. Barn friends. Riding companions. Folks to cheer for; folks to cheer for thee.
Wins
People, lack thereof. Barn drama. Railbirds. Barn rules.
Choice. Want more hay? Here ya go. Change feed, try supplements? No problem. Want to live out your days as a pasture ornament? Have at it.
Inevitability. I can’t imagine having done it any other way.
