Whether you’re trying to keep your horse’s coat healthy and clean or give him a show-winning shine, there are so many different horse brushes to choose from! With so many options out there, it can be hard to know which ones are best suited for the job. Luckily, I have done the research for you …
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 …
Happy Monday! Well summer isn’t over, but it does feel like it’s beginning to wind down to me. I have been hanging out with my horses a LOT for the past couple of months, thanks to a challenge I found. But thanks to that challenge, I can say that I am truly enjoying being around …
Happy November 15th! How is your weather where you are riding? I have to say it has been relatively warm here in Colorado, thankfully! But it’s still nearly dark when I get home which means I have to have an alternative light source if I plan on getting all 10 of my No Stirrup sessions …
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 …
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 …
Ok, I know, I have just one more post in my series of Going to Your First Horse Show. But I was just so excited to share this with you, that I had to write it, and put it out there! And this is something I have been trying to get done for a while …
The last 6 weeks have been pretty much a whirlwind for me. I have been riding Plezant more, which take a lot of time. Frisby was recently diagnosed with PPID (Fancy name for Cushings) which means changing everything I am feeding him, and September at work is extremely busy. Probably the busiest month of the …
A few months ago, I participated in Noelle Floyd’s Master Your Mindset challenge. And I have to tell you, it totally changed my perspective to working with Plezant. This one Masterclass helped me to really be more confident with him, as well as validate my own abilities. If you are having confidence issues, I would …
Scratchy Stick Review I was given the opportunity to share something incredible with all of you. It’s called the scratchy stick, and it is an awesome, and affordable tool for you and your horse! A little over 2 years ago, a really incredible equestrian reached out to me and we started talking all things YouTube. …
It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year Well it’s that time of year again. Probably one of the most exciting times of year for us equestrians, it’s shedding season!!!! I get very excited this time of year. The days are starting to get longer, and a little warmer, and I am beginning to see …
Ok, I need to preface this by letting you all know I bought these with a gift card I got for Christmas. So with one slight falter, I am still doing pretty well with my No Buy Year. However, I saw these brushes, and I was like “Oh yes, they will be mine…” And I …
