Have you seen the videos on Facebook with the grey horse that is dirty, they use the Sport Horse Essentials Waterless shampoo on the horse, and the dirty horse is now gorgeous? I have been watching that video for over a year now, and I finally gave in, and bought the product. I had to …
Introducing Corro About 9 months ago, I was reading a blog post about what, I can’t remember. And I can’t even remember where I was reading it. But what I do remember is that was the first time I was introduced to Corro, or Corro Shop. And the blog I was reading was talking about …
Ultimate Grooming Tool Resource – Version 2021 I have tried so many different grooming items over the years and my favorites keep evolving as the years go by. And I thought it was time to update my ultimate grooming too resource, since the last time I did this was in 2018. I wanted to share …
Well, it’s happened, winter finally came. I knew it would get here eventually. Why does it seem just before we are all about ready to pull our hair out in anticipation of better weather the below freezing temperatures show up? It’s inevitable I guess. Thankfully we are at the end of winter, and not the …
I have struggled with my weight nearly all my adult life. And as I get older, I find it easier to pack on the pounds, regardless of my activity level. But ever more difficult to take the weight off. It has been beyond frustrating. I have tried fad diets, pills, and exercise plans that promise …
A couple of months ago I decided to get back into Western riding. This meant I needed to find an affordable western saddle. And bridle, and saddle pad, and, and and….. And I did find a saddle. It’s a Billy Cook barrel racing saddle, and it was just what I wanted. But when I got …
Well it’s official. The little Punxsutawney beastie saw his shadow. Which means, 6 more weeks of winter. But I choose to look at it from a different perspective. There are only 6 weeks left of winter! That means you have six weeks to get ready for springtime horse time! Think about all of the things …
My house is beginning to look like an episode of Hoarders, I have too much stuff. I do this every year after Christmas. I look at all the stuff around me, and I feel like I am drowning in stuff. And also every year, I plan on getting rid of said stuff. But this year, …
Happy 2021 to you! I don’t know about you, but I am hopeful that 2021 returns back to what our old normal was. Don’t get me wrong, there were some fantastic things that happened in 2020, my daughter got married, I brought Plezant home, and I did get to spend a lot of time with …
Happy New Year! Or even better….buh bye 2020! 2020 has definitely been a dumpster fire, wouldn’t you agree? Well out with the old, and in with the new! And for me, 2021 is going to be a bit of a transformation of a year.

Every year …
On the 6th day of Christmas my true love gave to me…….. Ok, I’m really glad you can’t hear me singing that, it’s pretty dreadful! But I am having so much fun opening all of the little doors of the Effol Advent Calendar that I wanted to share the days with you. My last blog …
Equestrian Advent Calendar – YES! I haven’t been posting as often as I usually do, because I have been making videos every day for the past few weeks. And I decided to do this because of something really cool that I found. Way back in the beginning of November, I was browsing on Riding Warehouse, …

Happy Saturday! And this Saturday after Thanksgiving is a little bit different this year. With so many small businesses struggling, this year, more than ever it’s important for us to help out if we can. And what better way to do it than to do some shopping!
As we all sit at home, mainly because we have been told we have too, I choose to stay positive, and find something good to work on. And since I have lots of pine cones where I live….. I thought I would recycle said pinecones and make some holiday decorations with them.
Let’s Try Dressage! In my horse’s former life, at one time he was a dressage horse. And not your every day backyard show pony dressage horse, he was a 4th level show horse. Meaning he was showing at 4th level dressage. He has a resume in the dressage world longer than any horse I could …
100 Things To Do With Your Horse I wrote this article way back in March. You know, when we were at the beginning of this awful pandemic. And with the threat of yet another lock down, I wanted to bring this blog post out again. Mainly because I know when thinking about being locked down …
Bring It On November! No Stirrup November – Working through No Stirrup rides is definitely a challenge. Here we are, halfway through the month, and halfway through No Stirrups November! And this year I haven’t had as many rides for the month as I did last year, but the rides I have had have been …

Brrrrr! It’s chilly outside! I guess that’s what happens in the fall. I mean the days are shorter, and well, wintertime means colder riding weather. But this time of year I spend a lot more time riding because it’s November. And I’m riding in not one but TWO No Stirrup November challenges. Which means cold …
Well, actually it began yesterday. But it’s officially here, and no stirrups November begins now! I’m excited, because I have a plan for the month, and I have a goal. It’s good to have goals right? And with a ribbon (or two) as the end goal for the month I want to have a plan …
Well this is a little early this year. But with the way things are going, it seems that if you want to get what you want to have and to give for Christmas, this year it needs to be done early. And every year I have found it the easiest to make my Christmas wish …
