Why Yes, I did ride Tig today

Seems like I always get to the end of the day and never find the energy to write the posts that have been writing themselves in my head all day. So instead of rambling analysis, today is another quick update. Ride #2 on Tig was today! Walk/trot today in the arena. This is what I’ve […] more
Quick update

Just want to reassure everyone that I’m alive and well. I have a CRAZY schedule lately. School has been awesome – lots of field trips and the four person class is just as great as I thought it would be. It’s just been really intense since Monday. Tig has settled well and I climbed on […] more

Tig!!!!!! Now, let’s not get confused. If you are just joining me here on the blog, or if you have missed some of the latest posts, it will be well worth your while to catch up on the last week. Tig is NOT my horse. However Tig IS a TKR horse, 2010 model, who is […] more

Stop me when….

Stop me when I’ve done something stupid. 1. Wear my oldest (my comfy!) tights to school because I WILL ride after school, only to find out half way through the day they *really* are quite see through. 2. Once at stable put bare feet into Ariat Terrains. They were declared widow free this morning, but […] more
Introducing….another pair of ears

I really value the one-person-one-horse relationship. It creates a certain bond between horse and rider because like a marriage there is no other choice beyond each other. You work things out, you go to couples therapy (what I called dressage lessons) if needed and you accomplish things together. With one horse the consequences of a […] more
