5 Things I Wish I Would Have Known As A Beginner Rider

I Started As A Kid Since I started riding as a small kid, my perspective may seem different than an adult starting as a beginner. #1 – It’s Okay To Be Nervous As my sister-in-law always says when she describes us as adult riders, she said we are “wimp chickens” compared to what we used … Continue reading 5 Things I Wish I Would Have Known As A Beginner Rider

Monday Lesson Report

Why? For one I used to keep a journal of my lessons. Making notes on what we did and how the students are progressing. Prior to my TBI, I could do the lessons and then come inside and write in the journal. Now, I can’t remember by the time I get inside exactly what happened, … Continue reading Monday Lesson Report

Finny’s Feet

You May Remember Finny From A Post Before I posted about him a while back and how he was misbehaving. Acting a fool and bucking. Well he got over that, thank goodness. Since then though he was intermittently unsound for a month or two. Until recently, when he has been unsound all the time. The … Continue reading Finny’s Feet

Grumpy Finnigan- Follow Up To Old Man Finny Update

Post About Finn I wrote a post a few days ago about Finnigan. His soundness, behavior and how he has been since we started him on Cosequin as a joint supplement a few months ago. The day I wrote that post, I was fighting with youtube and couldn’t get the videos uploaded. Luckily, I have … Continue reading Grumpy Finnigan- Follow Up To Old Man Finny Update

Project Cool- Update

Haven’t Heard Any Updates On Cool… I realized that I have not posted about Cool in a little bit. Figured it was time to give an update. Unfortunately, Cool has been laid up for the last week or so. Lame In The Front Well, first thing’s first! I will admit, I was just happy that … Continue reading Project Cool- Update

Project Cool- January 10, 2020

Another Milestone Day First off, this is the first time Amelia got on Cool without lunging him first. It didn’t seem to affect the way he went at all. Cool cantered under saddle for the first time since he got hurt also! He did a great job. You would never have guessed he hadn’t done … Continue reading Project Cool- January 10, 2020

Project Cool- Day 4

Project Cool- Day 4

Not Consecutive Days Due to the weather, we did not work with Cool 4 days in a row. Most likely we wouldn’t have anyway. Since he is rehabbing, I think it is important to give him recovery days to avoid him getting muscle sore. Not to mention, I’d prefer to keep his attitude about work … Continue reading Project Cool- Day 4

Cold Weather Is For Camps Too!

I Have Often Said I Wish Summer Camp Was In Any Season Besides Summer! Our riding ring has no shade, I hate flies! The kids whine about getting hot. Keeping everyone hydrated, people and horses is a constant problem. Well, today we had a camp day. A cold weather day camp. I still stand by … Continue reading Cold Weather Is For Camps Too!
