On My Mind, Miscellaneous Thoughts Rodney Jenkins, that is. Rodney-the-horse is named after Mr. Jenkins. As a rule, I’m not crazy about copying someone else’s name. It lacks creativity.

That’s me. Riding fashionista. Not. Sun Shirts – Joining The New Millenium I was so so taken with the show shirt [Surprise], that I splashed out on two more sun shirts for schooling.

I wanted to put on a good show, okay, I wanted to show off in front of the community that has been so acceptingContinue reading “Sour Side Up, Milton”

The Gray Wonder, Adventures in Saddle Hunt Seat Mid-South Spring Premiere Saturday, May 25, 2019 Official Photographer Event Mix First & second classes. Bright-eyed & bushy-tailed. He looks edgier in the photo than he rode. Except for the canter transitions (except for!) and some of the cantering, he handled like a sports car.
