Confident Rider Challenge Day 28 Oh my goodness, I am cutting it close this evening! I never seem to have enough time in the day, even when I get an extra day or two off from work. There is always so much to do, on a normal schedule. But then add in writing a blog …

Confident Rider Challenge Day 25 I don’t know about you, but I am finding that every day I get out and work with my horses it just seems normal. So even after I get home from work, I still make a point to work with at least one horse, and sometimes both of them. In …

Riding Lesson Change It’s that time again, time for another weekly riding lesson! And I don’t know if the nervousness from thinking about having surgery is creeping into my horsey time, but I have been getting nervous again in anticipation of riding. Which is weird.
