Driving Thursday A while back a friend expressed interest in CDE driving; they expressed concern about all the equipment. I wanted to be encouraging, but they were right. Harness. Carts. And the vehicles to move said equipment. After the show [Report], we brought home two of the three carts Stepping Stone Farm had takenContinue reading “Transportation, The Downside of Driving II”

Virtue Out Of Necessity, Or At Least Out Of Inevitability, Pre-show Report, Alabama Charity 2019
Adventures in Saddle Seat Optimus’ dance card was filling up. Would I mind riding Sam at the next show? Sigh. If I must. This is me, nobly taking one for the team. Ahem.

In The Pink, Show Report, Alabama Obstacle Challenge Series, L&C Horsemanship Ranch, October 2019, Part 1
Overcoming Obstacles in Our Way Show report split due to superabundance of media. TLDR. Best he’s ever adjusted at a new place.

A Princely Porta Potty
Random Images Seen at Saturday’s horse show [Spontaneous Showing]. The diagonal seat is genius. It is one of those ‘Duh, why didn’t anyone think of this before?’ moments. As you see in the photo, the seat of the portable toilet is set on the diagonal, creating more space for one’s legs. I did notContinue reading “A Princely Porta Potty”
