Chilly day today but glad the sun is out!!

10/17/2022

Ponies in pink!

10/13/2022

No, my socks don't match, but they are both pink. Sometimes you just have to get on with your day and not worry about the little things, like matching socks. 😆 They are boot socks, which are my favorite.

Everyone understood the assignment this weekend!

10/09/2022

First picture is what is probably an acceptable amount of pink for a lesson in October. However I am not that person, so I went full out. for the win with the pad, polos, and pants.

10/09/2022

Even the horses get in on the fun here!

10/07/2022

No need for a vest most of today!!

10/06/2022

Really liked this new shirt, great fabric. And sporting my pink sneakers on the odd occasion I join society off the farm.

Has anyone scheduled a mammogram yet? Early detection is crucial!

10/05/2022

Norah (one of our lesson kids) came with the right spirit!! Love those pants. I made good use of my hoodie today with the wind going all day.

10/04/2022

Out here life is great. Even though it is chilly, and wet, with nights like this, we are grateful for it all.

10/03/2022

We love , the shirt and vest with embroidery are from them. As a horse owner, I can appreciate their prices and customer service. As a barn manager, I also appreciate their convenient supplement system and shipping.

10/02/2022

Love my C4 belts, this one thanks to

And so begins 31 days of pink. Breast cancer is something that has had an impact on my family, and my barn family. So, to help raise awareness (and maybe make some of you ladies think about getting checked) I will wear an item of pink everyday this month and post a picture.

Enjoying the sky tonight, don't think we will have a view like this for a few days.

09/28/2022

So excited that our new DragNFly groomer came today. .arenaequipment was great to deal with. Horses and riders are loving the footing (thanks to ).

09/27/2022

Getting the rodeo mood since we heard the PBR is in town.

09/20/2022

Panda on the prowl.

09/14/2022

It doesn't get much more inviting than this!

09/13/2022

Good morning!!

09/13/2022

In general, we love fall and a break from the heat and bugs. But with it brings this. 😆

09/12/2022

Nature doing a good job of decorating with Halloween in mind. I find spider webs fascinating.

09/09/2022

Exciting things happening here!! Thanks to Footing Depot for the product and Monomoy Services for the work done.

09/06/2022

Getting to be that time of year.

08/20/2022

Haven't seen any snake activity, but there is a small one roaming around.

08/18/2022

You just have to get out and ride in weather like this.

08/16/2022

If you need a good picture of your horse, just put your miniature horse in the alleyway when a big horse isn't expecting it!

08/11/2022

We all know this feeling.

Horses will always be horses 😂

Things to remember!

This is fundamental advice regardless of the discipline in which you ride, I have built my method and career around all of this, if you
Study the greatest horsemen in the world you will see all of the points in action. This was said by one of the best modern horsemen bill steinkrause.

“No. 1. Get your tack and equipment just right, and then forget about it and concentrate on the horse.

No. 2. The horse is bigger than you are, and it should carry you. The quieter you sit, the easier this will be for the horse.

No. 3. The horse's engine is in the rear. Thus, you must ride your horse from behind, and not focus on the forehand simply because you can see it.

No. 4. It takes two to pull. Don't pull. Push.

No. 5. For your horse to be keen but submissive, it must be calm, straight and forward.

No. 6. When the horse isn`t straight, the hollow side is the difficult side.

No. 7. The inside rein controls the bending, the outside rein controls the speed.

No. 8. Never rest your hands on the horse's mouth. You make a contract with it: "You carry your head and I'll carry my hands."

No. 10. Once you've used an aid, put it back.

No. 11. You can exaggerate every virtue into a defect.

No. 12. Always carry a stick, then you will seldom need it.

No. 13. If you`ve given something a fair trial, and it still doesn't work, try something else—even the opposite.

No. 14. Know when to start and when to stop. Know when to resist and when to reward.

No. 15. If you're going to have a fight, you pick the time and place.

No. 16. What you can't accomplish in an hour should usually be put off until tomorrow.

No. 17. You can think your way out of many problems faster than you can ride your way out of them.

No. 18. When the horse jumps, you go with it, not the other way around.

No. 19. Don`t let over-jumping or dull routine erode the horse's desire to jump cleanly. It's hard to jump clear rounds if the horse isn't trying.

No. 20. Never give up until the rail hits the ground.

No. 21. Young horses are like children—give them a lot of love, but don't let them get away with anything.

No. 22. In practice, do things as perfectly as you can; in competition, do what you have to do.

No. 23. Never fight the oats.

No. 24. The harder you work, the luckier you get."

Another beautiful ending to a great day. Not much activity out here due to the heat, but horses seem happy enough in front of their fans and plenty of fresh water.

07/23/2022

I feel ya Panda, I am over the heat too. Hoping these clouds bring us some rain, but the horses will at least enjoy the wind

07/13/2022

A beautiful end to the day, after the storm.

07/04/2022

Happy Independence Day, America!

06/27/2022

We definitely have some clean up after this last storm. We were really glad that the power was only out about 16 hours. No major damage, thankfully.

06/12/2022

And it's a wrap! Upperville week is over! We had a great time going to watch some of our boarders compete and just enjoying the show grounds as always.

06/10/2022

Another beautiful ending to another great day.

If there is one thing I cannot complain about, it is our views. A gift everyday.

Not typical mid April weather today...

04/14/2022

Spring break help.

04/01/2022

Good morning!

03/30/2022

Someone has decided blanket season is over...

03/12/2022

Final (I think) snow of the season. Shorty's forelock is an indicator to the wind.

03/05/2022

Spring has sprung!

Good morning!
