routine
last night i dropped Riley off at my parents house and headed out to the barn for a riding lesson. Because Riley usually spends the day with my mom on wednesdays, we had decided he could just stay overnight last night.
So i had my lesson and in a discussion about when to schedule the next […]Horse Show!!
This past weekend Calvin and I went to our first show in over a year. After the last show I went to in March of 06 when we crashed and burned, I was pretty apprehensive of what might happen. Especially because this time we were doing jumper classes instead of hunter classes (i will save […]
falling off
here is something i failed to mention in my post about sunday on the cross country course- I got a very pointed reminder of how critical it is to not make mistakes on a green horse- of all the jumps were were doing, i went to jump a very small log, got a little ahead […]
Congratulations
AND! Congratulations to Nick and Maggie on little Julia!!
Death Wish
yesterday i took Calvin out on a Cross Country course. It was the first time for both of us. What a great time!! there is still that lingering fear that when we jump something, if we hit it, it isn’t going to fall down, and could send us somersaulting through the air and crashing to […]

more adjusting
4 years ago today i signed the papers to purchase Calvin (then known as “shorty”) and moved him to his new barn. Up until Calvin i had owned 2 horses from the lower end of the potential spectrum, Calvin was a whole new class of horse for me. I have spent the last 4 years in awe […]
