Friday, January 12, 2024 Talk about cold. Holy Cow, the cold is here, and even colder weather is coming. So cold! Which means I need to think about the comfort and safety of my horses. That is first and foremost of my priorities for this weekend.
Thursday, January 11, 2024 I have to remember to stop focusing on the wrong thing. Yes, it’s cold. And yes, it’s wintertime so it’s dark and depressing. Deal with it. Well, that is what I need to remember to tell myself. So with that thought in mind, I am focusing my energy on learning. And …
Is there ever a time that I have looked forward to the short and cold days of winter? I think not. Tuesday, January 9, 2024, and Wednesday, January 10, 2024 This is a double journal entry because, well, not a lot has happened. The weather is still crappy, wet, and cold. And sometimes I just …
Brrrr……it is definitely wintertime in Colorado! So much cold and snow. I cannot wait for this wintertime weather to be gone. Bring on the longer days and warmer temperatures!

I can’t even clean their pens because the poop piles turn into poop-sicles. Making it nearly impossible to clean. I did get a little creative with it today, though. …
January 5, 2024 I am so glad it’s Friday. With this being my first almost full week back to work, it was a lot. Hopefully, this will get easier. And one thing I am really looking forward to is my vacation, which is coming up beginning January 29th. I have never looked so forward to …
January 4, 2024 Today was physical therapy day. And my therapist kicked my butt. So much so that when I came home from work, I was wiped out. I wanted to spend a little more time with Jesse, but I just couldn’t. How can it be so exhausting to lie on a table and have …
I should have prefaced this by saying I am posting daily, but it’s a few days behind. I didn’t want to overwhelm you with having to read tons of journal entries all at one time. And because I have been doing this since the first of January, I am a few days ahead on paper. …
Goal Setting This is a big day – setting up the goals for the year. But I am limiting myself because I know what happens when I start goal setting. I keep building and building this huge plan of everything I want to get done in an extended amount of time. But I always poop …
My Journey Into the World of Dressage Happy New Year! It is a new year, which means it is time for some new goals. And this year, I have a few goals I want to achieve. How about you? Do you do any goal-setting or planning for the new year? I have several big goals …
I have been neglecting my Equestrian YouTube channel, The Budget Equestrian, lately. This is mostly because I have been putting my focus on my other YouTube channel, The DIY Diva.
