Baby Horses > Baby People

  A trip to Middleburg this weekend meant I finally got to meet Stubert & Olivet! Since D'Arcy and Courtney got these babies I've been dying for a formal introduction. Now all I want to do is cuddle baby horses. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bd-Z2C8BgS7/ Here are a few of my professional opinions on baby horses... They are v social:  …

Oh The Places You Will Go: 2017 Edition

Wow! I cannot believe it is November, and the season is coming to a close. This year feels as though it's passed me by in a flash. 2017 was major for me personally and professionally. I left my job with the USEA to take on the big, scary world of freelancing. It was a leap …

Life on the Farm

Hey Y'all! It's been about a month and a half since I move myself and Justin back to Georgia. Right now we're based at my family's farm, so I'm glad to say I get to keep Justin "right out my bedroom window." My parents recently bought a house and moved to Montana for the summer …

April Updates

https://www.instagram.com/p/BS9n_zdBnXZ/?taken-by=betches Spring always makes me feel so energized. The realization that I survived another winter coupled with warm weather seems to give me a sense of purpose that I don't have in the colder months. I've decided to capitalize on this, so I've been getting the overweight pasture puff back into light work. Thankfully, I've also …

Proud Friend Post

I wanted to take time to make a post dedicated entirely to Courntey and D’Arcy! I came to watch them at a local show this weekend, and they both kicked bootay! #ProudFriendPost D’Arcy rode Pony Man in his first show ever. It was a big day of firsts for the little guy… first noseband, first …

April Showers bring…

Spring is in full swing here in Middleburg. The days are pleasant and breezy, flowers are blooming and the grass crazy green. This is bad news for pony. This marks the dreaded return of the muzzle. In Georgia, Justin was on full turn out, got a very healthy amount of feed and hay, and maintaining …

Where in the World?

I was home for approximately five days in the month of march. Between a whirlwind trip to southern Spain and two work trips, I arrived home last night jet lagged and completely unaware if it was still winter or if spring had sprung already in Virginia. So, where in the world have I been? Let's …

Finding A Unicorn

I'd love to see a new series on TV about horse shopping. I picture it like an episode of house hunters: The buyer's wishlist is unbelievably long and unachievable within their budget. The buyer's friend has completely different ideas of what they think their friend needs in a horse, and they have no problems letting …

First Ride Back…

... didn't die! This week was unusually warm. It was in the 70s at the beginning of the week and it snowed yesterday and going back toward 70s this weekend. I knew there could be some antics involved in the first ride back, and I didn't need something else, like cold or wind fueling the flames, …

A Whirlwind Weekend in Wellington: Everything Else

When I wasn't working, I also got to enjoy a taste of the Wellington area last weekend, and let me tell you, it was eye opening! Coming from a background of almost exclusively eventing, I've never really experienced anything like this. On Saturday night, a few photographers from the showcase and I went across the …
