Saddle Seat Wednesday Tuesday I spent yesterday helping Stepping Stone Farm get ready for The Dixie Cup show this weekend: cleaning the trailer, making up haynets, loading haybales, finding room for those last few miscellaneous boxes, and so on, and so on. I miss this part of showing. Yes, even mucking the trailer. A cleanContinue reading “Get Ready, Get Set, Don’t Go”

Rodney Takes Baby Steps
Given my epic lack of motivation lately [Inside My Head], the boys did very little last week. WHAM. Since I was still pissy by the weekend, Greg lunged Rodney with a halter and saddle (!).

I predict she will be appalled at how little I understand the workings of my camera. I’m not being coy. I’m clever. MyContinue reading “Foto Friday: Syllabus”
A Look Inside My Head
Seize the day! Seize the fucking day, already! Get off your sorry ass and do something. Anything. I don’t care what. A load of dishes perhaps. Or, I don’t know, maybe one of the 600 things you put on those To Do lists you are so fond of making. Do you have any idea howContinue reading “A Look Inside My Head”
