2025 News – The Good and Not-So-Good
It has been a wonky start to 2025 out here in the desert. But, thankfully everyone remains relatively healthy and as happy as they can be. I was invited to a short trail ride early in December, and that was a lot of fun.… Continue Reading “2025 News – The Good and Not-So-Good”
Author’s Curse? Blogger’s Curse?
I’ve heard of the author’s curse (and if anyone hasn’t, it’s when an author writes or publishes something, and almost immediately after they tend to have some crazy things happen in their lives – usually tragedies), but I wonder if there’s a blogger’s curse?… Continue Reading “Author’s Curse? Blogger’s Curse?”
Still Around
I am still here – I have just been… busy? I guess is the right word? I sure have FELT very busy even though I don’t feel I’ve been doing all that much at the same time LOL. It’s probably actually not that I’m… Continue Reading “Still Around”
Hectic start to 2023
About 4 days into the new year I had to head on over to the ER. There is (VERY conveniently) an ER right across the street from me, and I was the only one there so I was actually in and out very very… Continue Reading “Hectic start to 2023”
Best babysitter ever
The end of May, my sister and niece Kaylee came to visit. Kaylee is 4 now, and is still the cutest, most opinionated niece ever. I am totally not going to lie that being the “cool aunt” was absolutely awesome haha. I would come… Continue Reading “Best babysitter ever”
Frisky red pony
We’ve had cold and wet weather since the week before Thanksgiving, which for Vegas is not par for the course. Temperature-wise it was colder last year, but it was sunny and dry. This winter we’re cloudy and wet with warmer temps, but the lack… Continue Reading “Frisky red pony”
Riding in between
After our good lesson, Amber and I have had some par-for-the-course rides. Most good, some in between. Since I mentioned it in my other post, I’ll start with our “off” ride sometime mid-November. Amber had been really good the day before. It was nearing… Continue Reading “Riding in between”
Nov 10 Lesson
That I am FINALLY getting to after a month haha. This was a pretty good lesson. Amber was certainly a bit lit for the majority of the trot work and a bit reactive. But I think that’s more due to her being unbalanced and… Continue Reading “Nov 10 Lesson”
Messing around and vet check-up
After my last lesson, Amber seemed to take the “conserve all energy” way too close to heart lol. Usually she’s got a good swinging walk when we first mosey on out there for our 10 minute warm-up, but boy she was PLODDING along haha!… Continue Reading “Messing around and vet check-up”
Dressage lesson #2
I had a lesson bright and early at 8 am on Saturday morning (three weeks ago), right when we were scheduled to get a cold spell. When 730 rolled around and I was out getting her tacked up I was severely regretting my decision lol.… Continue Reading “Dressage lesson #2”
Family time
I had so much going on (oh crap, it’s been three weeks) three weeks ago. I need a vacation again haha. First off, I was having a really hard time figuring out my homework, and also had a chance to get a lot of… Continue Reading “Family time”
Sunday dressage lesson
Sorry everyone. I know. I suck at blogging. I really meant to post this last week, but a lot happened and I just never really sat down to put all the video together until the other day. As I said in one of my… Continue Reading “Sunday dressage lesson”
Miracle Pony
I think Amber is part cat. I swear she has 9 lives. Either way, I’m gonna do a (kind of) small recap. In June 2012, I bought Amber as a 2yr old and brought her home with me. July 2012, Amber got out of… Continue Reading “Miracle Pony”
The 4th and things
July 4th was not as bad as I was anticipating. Since Amber was weird Monday I just hopped on her bareback for a nice hack with my mom. Her walk felt okay but I could hear and feel that her hind feet were short… Continue Reading “The 4th and things”
