Change of plans. I spent several days quagmired in an earnest, heartfelt post on my past, present, and future. Nevermind. Take it as read that for 2015, I want to keep the good bits (husband, health, horse shows) and improve where needed (food habits, exercise habits, work habits).

On the 7th Day of Christmas: Seven Horses Showing
As with last year, I had the opportunity to show in saddle seat academy classes through the Stepping Stone Farm lesson program. It was, um, a growth year. Much was learned. Many horses were ridden.

On the 3rd Day of Christmas: Three Hard Hats
Three helmets. All purchased this year. That’s a lot of hat for someone who rides in a lesson once a week and shows once a month in school horse classes. When I replaced my old hat, I bought a nicer one for showing and lessons [New Equipment]. Then, a schooling helmet for camp [Tweets]. Then,Continue reading “On the 3rd Day of Christmas: Three Hard Hats”
On the 2nd Day of Christmas: Two Couch Spuds
Lately, I have been spending free time with the horses. Not asking them to do anything. Not brushing them. Just reading while they graze in the field or loaf in the barn. The zen, yin, right brain, Dionysian side of me feels that I am learning about Rodney & Milton outside of their utility toContinue reading “On the 2nd Day of Christmas: Two Couch Spuds”
