Brrrrrr…… Taking care of your horse during cold weather can be tricky, but with a few smart strategies, you can keep them warm and comfortable even when temperatures plummet. I get it. We want to make sure they are warm and cozy, too right? So here are five of my favorite tips on keeping your …
The last 6 weeks have been pretty much a whirlwind for me. I have been riding Plezant more, which take a lot of time. My heart horse Frisby, well, we had to put him down. His Cushing’s was worsening, and he got to the point where it hurt him to walk. So all he would …
Oh the air is crisp and the days are getting short. The spookiest day of the year is behind us, which can only mean one thing…. It’s time for No Stirrups November!
Unless you are incredibly wealthy, you get it that money is tight these days. Even for those who were relatively comfortable, the cost of everything has gone up. Which for me means finding ways to entertain myself that I can do for free. So how can you entertain yourself for free you might be wondering? …
I honestly think people are losing their minds. And understandably so. With the cost of everything skyrocketing (including everything related to horse ownership) it seems there are those asking if it would be less expensive to commute by horseback instead of driving your car to work everyday. And I can honestly say NO – Riding …
About a week ago, I had a horrible dream. I dreamt that something was wrong with Plezant. I went outside because I heard a lot of whinnying coming from the barn, and I saw Plezant acting like he was in pain. It didn’t get better, in fact he got much worse. So much so that …
No Stirrups November continues! And finding the time to ride….well, that can prove to be a challenge! I should really call this post making the time to ride. Because we all have the same amount of time each and every day. We all have 24 hours every single day. But how we use those 24 …
Winter is Coming! Ok, that is probably my favorite quotable line from Game of Thrones. Have you heard of it? If you haven’t watched this series, I would highly recommend it. Especially if you have an Amazon Prime membership. It’s definitely worth watching. But I digress. I’m not here to share a review of Game …
So this is the third year in a row that I have participated in a No Stirrups November. It is also the first year that I have taken on the task of hosting my Own No Stirrups challenge! If this is the first time you have heard of this, check out this blog post. And …
Happy November 3rd! And welcome back to day number 3 in the No Stirrups November challenge! Did you ride yesterday? Did you do any no stirrup riding? If you were able to ride yesterday, or the day before, good job! You got in your very first no stirrups ride! Yay you! And if you didn’t, …
Ok, it is officially here, No Stirrups November is here! But what does that mean? Does it mean every ride is without stirrups? Or is it just 5 minutes of riding without stirrups? It is whatever you want it to be! But to get started, if you have never done this for an extended time …
A couple of years ago, I joined my first ever No Stirrups November Challenge. And when I decided to sign up, I was trying to figure out how the heck I would be able to get 12 rides in for the month. I have a full time job, and I knew I could get 8 …
