Peace & Carrots: August 2014
http://peaceandcarrotshorse.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, 30 August 2014. Some Equestrians I Admire. An old friend and I were chatting last night about people in the horse community we admire. I figured it was post-worthy for motivation/inspiration purposes! The rest of the list in no particular order but #1 is! I am in truly in awe of Reiner. *bows down*. When I watched the video below I saw how beautiful dressage could truly be:. Https:/ www.youtube.com/watch? 4) Beezie Madden and Beth Underhill. Who do you have on your "favorite equestrians" list?

Peace & Carrots: January 2015
http://peaceandcarrotshorse.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, 31 January 2015. I spent most of my evening on Wednesday night with Mystic. It was awesome. I cannot wait to ride this sassy mare! She had a pine tree and a tumbleweed in her tail. Dat tail in action. A few shots of her loose in the arena. She is 15.3hh now! I'm 6 feet tall for comparison) Does she look tall enough for me? This is us in January of 2013! 3 Two years together! Thursday, 29 January 2015. Peace, Carrots and Moolah. I have really enjoyed reading Lauren. I think what works well about...

Dig My Size: April 2015
http://thestoryofdigs.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 30, 2015. Thursday's Must Read - "Body Image, the Show Ring and Why Something Has to Change". I'm working on a cute video for the blog from some video clips of me letting Digby take a spin in the round pen (spoiler alert: had a SERIOUS go button, paired with some feeling good freshness made for a fun time, but we had a pretty decent whoa none the less! In the meantime, I'd encourage everyone. To read this blog post over at horsenation.com. I personally know several equestrians and non-equ...

The terror of hauling a horse – Hand Gallop
http://www.hand-gallop.com/the-terror-of-hauling-a-horse
Sommer Egon von Neindorff. Horze Grand Prix Breeches. Mrs Conn’s Bath Sponges. Hunter Original Rain Boots. The terror of hauling a horse. August 8, 2015. Somewhere along the last few years, my confidence has waned. I’ve developed. I didn’t have the right one and I couldn’t come back at 5 AM the next day and. Dear god why do these things come in so many sizes why are they so expensive WHAT IS HAPPENING! What if someone cut me off? Why is this fucking Honda practically in the trailer with Moe? I was too ti...

April 2015 - The Owls Approve
http://www.theowlsapprove.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
The Weight Of It. I started writing this post when I saw the light at the end of the kick-from-hell-tunnel. And then Archie got cellulitis. And then Archie got caught up in an electric fence and caused his leg to bleed and I wondered if he were going to have another bout of cellulitis. So I waited. I didn't talk about the leg-fence because I was pretty much done at that point. This has been hard. Of life medication. Surprise: it's actually not happy pills. This is called "self-medicating" and is generall...

Dig My Size: June 2015
http://thestoryofdigs.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 30, 2015. The new digs. Haha, get it? Yesterdat was the big move! This is going to be a short, not well written, photo packed post because I wanted to update you guys but I'm a wee bit busy today. :) So anyway, I packed up all our stuff, loaded Digby into the trailer, and off we went. Digby is the ever cautious loader. (BTW - I've never actually used shipping boots before until this time.). The most handsome hony in his new stall. The pond on the left, some fields on right. I'd like to star...

Dig My Size: Ideas. (Aka the post in which I decide it's too hot)
http://thestoryofdigs.blogspot.com/2015/07/ideas-aka-post-in-which-i-decide-its.html
Thursday, July 30, 2015. Ideas (Aka the post in which I decide it's too hot). How Digby's topline used to look. (FYI - not me holding him). I need some help. I'm a giant baby in the heat (I chalk some of this up to the fact that I work outside and I literally sweat all. day. long.) and PA is warm in the summer. Not 100 degrees all the time Texas hot, but it's toasty. And humid. Ugh, the humidity! So what do you do in the "extreme" heat to keep your horses fit? Try lighter work loads? Digby likes: anythin...

Product review: Mrs. Conn’s Bath Day sponges – Hand Gallop
http://www.hand-gallop.com/product-review-mrs-conns-bath-day-sponges
Sommer Egon von Neindorff. Horze Grand Prix Breeches. Mrs Conn’s Bath Sponges. Hunter Original Rain Boots. Product review: Mrs. Conn’s Bath Day sponges. June 30, 2015. When I opened my May and June Horse Boxes. And found shampoo-filled sponges from Mrs. Conn’s Bath Day. I squealed like a small child. I’d seen the sponges on various equestrian social media channels and couldn’t wait to try them, mostly because they’re so freaking cute. Want your horse to smell like a Lisa Frank picture, you’re safe. June ...

Wait For The Jump: On Groundwork and Magic
http://waitingforthejump.blogspot.com/2015/08/on-groundwork-and-magic.html
Why "Wait For The Jump"? A History of Horses. How I Became a Vet Tech. And, when you want something, the entire Universe conspires in helping you to achieve it." -The Alchemist, by Paulo Coehlo. Saturday, August 8, 2015. On Groundwork and Magic. Our riding was very limited. If I was too tired or not in the right mental place, I was not getting on her. It would have been counterproductive: she would have gotten worked up and I would have taken it personally. I had a great ride with her with Gail and Nimo.
