Adorableness
So, it’s pretty quiet around here. Gearing up for stuff at work and then because I’m a really boring person just hacking around with Amber and getting her feeling better (although she definitely won’t be happy once we start trot sets!). Which is good… Continue Reading “Adorableness”
Breech central
So I received about 3 pairs of breeches all around the same time. I really needed another summer breech so I grabbed another Ovation Aqua X – this time in navy. I was also looking at some schooling breeches for dressage – you know,… Continue Reading “Breech central”
Hacking is awesome
Yesterday was pretty uneventful, except IT RAINED. In Vegas. I know. We were all shocked. And it ALSO got below 100 degrees at 3 pm. Which is unheard of, really. But it allowed my mom and I to ride on a beautifully watered arena… Continue Reading “Hacking is awesome”
Shenanigans
Well, the vet was originally supposed to come out and do acupuncture and laser therapy Friday evening, but she accidentally forgot. Wonderfully, though, she still popped over and gave Amber a few more adjustments – which she needed. Her twisted hip needed to be… Continue Reading “Shenanigans”
Stuff for sale!
So I haven’t gotten all my shit together that I want to sell yet, because I have to organize all my non-horse things first, but there are a few things that I absolutely know for certain that I want to sell (and are within reach).… Continue Reading “Stuff for sale!”
And 2 steps back
Not much happened yesterday. I took Amber out for her walk/trot lunge and she was….very strange to say the least. Especially after she looked so promising Sunday. Her walk looked okay, but when she got to the jog she just looked really discombobulated. Very… Continue Reading “And 2 steps back”
Sales make for great weekends
Many places had great sales this weekend for 4th of July. I was hoping RW was having a sale, but alas, not so. Either way, I still feel like I made out like a bandit. So although Amber and I haven’t gone anywhere near… Continue Reading “Sales make for great weekends”
Goals for the rest of the year
So almost a week ago (was it really only Saturday that the ponies moved?!) I was perfectly content. Content with what my plans were for the next six months, content that perhaps I won’t have a dressage lesson until very late in the fall (probably winter),… Continue Reading “Goals for the rest of the year”
The GSH
I know I posted about my show clothes just recently, but we all know how that can change. And mine has. Not for my jump or western saddle though – keeping those without a doubt. But I had originally mentioned that I wanted to… Continue Reading “The GSH”
Review: Basic Brushing Boots
Maybe I should start calling these Review Wednesdays or something because for some reason I seem to have posted a lot of reviews on Wednesdays. All except two of my reviews were posted on a Wednesday. Perhaps it’s because I don’t have a life… Continue Reading “Review: Basic Brushing Boots”
2017 Show Outfits
Amanda and Emma have done these posts and I love reading them because I love seeing what everyone uses and loves and it gives me reasons to spend money great ideas on stuff to use. Also, all of my posts so far have really featured english, which is where… Continue Reading “2017 Show Outfits”
Review: Roma Ecole circle/star quilt A/P pad
You’ve seen these pads in a few of my posts, and I’ve had them for around 9 months now, so I figure it’s a good time frame to give them a review. So far, I’ve really enjoyed these pads. What caught my eye first… Continue Reading “Review: Roma Ecole circle/star quilt A/P pad”
Heat management….
Not so much. Especially with temps like this. And yes, that is an excessive heat warning issued Monday morning until Friday. Granted, we don’t usually have humidity over 20%, so it’s not as muggy as Texas or the east coast, but it’s still… Continue Reading “Heat management….”
Review: Total Saddle Fit Shoulder Relief Dressage Girth
Well, not as much happened with the barn as we were hoping yesterday; but they’re up and at it early this morning with a projected finish date of Friday. So, I’ve decided a review is in order. There were two main reasons I bought… Continue Reading “Review: Total Saddle Fit Shoulder Relief Dressage Girth”
Cavaletti lesson
And what a lesson it was! Part of me wished I had another one Sunday because I feel like Amber and I made so much progress Saturday morning. Instructor took videos of us, and while I didn’t take any pictures (and there was no… Continue Reading “Cavaletti lesson”
Review: PS of Sweden 3-point breastplate
I found this breastplate way back in perhaps September/October of 2016. Amber doesn’t have an issue with saddles slipping, but I wanted something that would help keep the saddle in place just in case we had those few long-shot fences. Plus, I just loved… Continue Reading “Review: PS of Sweden 3-point breastplate”
The heat is on
Well, it’s officially summer here in Vegas. Not that it hasn’t been for the past two or three weeks, but now it’s consistently staying really really hot. And I mean you-don’t-know-you’re-sweating-because-it-evaporates-immediately hot. It’s seriously like sticking your whole body in an oven. Hopefully Vegas doesn’t do… Continue Reading “The heat is on”
Review: Smartpak Piper breeches
Ah, the Smartpak Piper breeches. I have heard that people either love them or hate them. I’m going to be one of those rare sort-of-in-between people. They’re not my absolute love, but they’re pretty damn close. In all actuality, I don’t have a pair… Continue Reading “Review: Smartpak Piper breeches”
Worse….yet not?
Well, over the weekend we got some bad news: the barn builders won’t be down until the 13th. Boo. Both me and my mom have grumped to the fullest. It was so much easier to wait when I knew they’d be there in just… Continue Reading “Worse….yet not?”
Review: PS of Sweden Flying Change Bridle
I’ve had the bridle approximately three weeks now, and thought it was time for a review. Even though it hasn’t been long enough yet to be confident in it’s durability, I have high expectations since I’ve had their breastplate for 8 months and it… Continue Reading “Review: PS of Sweden Flying Change Bridle”
Release the puppies
Thankfully, yesterday was a normal work day, so after I got off I headed straight to the barn. My plan was to go a little easy. I think in my enthusiasm the past few days I got a little…intense. I ride pretty quietly most of… Continue Reading “Release the puppies”
Restart
The long weekend was 2 steps forward and one back. I shouldn’t be surprised that this horse can get hot – I’ve often told people that when riled she can be hot. And not riled in a bad way. She wants to please so… Continue Reading “Restart”
