This is more in the way of a non-progress report. Since you have been slogging through this adventure with me, I figured I should let you know why nothing is happening. After Nationals [list of posts here for those just tuning in], I had a bit more free time and a lot more free mentalContinue reading “Yet Another Horse Shopping SitRep”

Foto Friday: Paisley
The lower leg of the new schooling jods I bought at Nationals. From this we learn two things: 1) Saddleseat has much to teach the rest of the horse world about having fun. 2) Never go through the vendor area when one is tired, hungry, & has just won a major award.
