Lauren Sprieser: May 2009
http://laurensprieser.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 30, 2009. I'm about to head out on the town with my buddy Liz Austin (read: danger, Will Robinson! But a few videos for your amusement:. Ella, schooling canter. She was DOG tired when we made these two, so pardon the missed changes at the end). Ella, schooling trot, pi-pa and walk. And my personal favorite, Midge making baby piaffe! Greetings from Bedford, NY! But she's taking a big life step, and I think it will be a good thing for her. They have to be around here somewhere. After going to...

Lauren Sprieser: February 2009
http://laurensprieser.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 28, 2009. 1 Tres, our little Spanish stallion, is a dreadful jumper. Alas, our dreams of show hunter fame. ;). 2 Ella did the WHOLE PRIX ST. GEORGES yesterday, and it didn't suck. Woo! Wednesday, February 25, 2009. TGFV (Thank God For Video). Seeing it on video made it really sink in: holy schmolies, I'm running her off her legs! Slow down and allow for cadence and voila, Ella's a genius. Thank god for video! How did Xenophon do it? Friday, February 20, 2009. I’m a stranger in a ...

Lauren Sprieser: Somethings New And Blue
http://laurensprieser.blogspot.com/2009/06/somethings-new-and-blue.html
Tuesday, June 9, 2009. Somethings New And Blue. Oh man oh man oh man - the blue boots have arrived. First: it's really not terribly fair to call them blue, because they're really, really, really dark dark dark navy. Like so dark that I hyperventillated a little when I pulled them out of the box because I thought they were black. So I don't think I'll be as much of a trendsetter as I'd originally thought/feared, which is probably a good thing. It has a proper back seat! Now, it's off to stomp around my ap...

Lauren Sprieser: Photos, And A Big Move
http://laurensprieser.blogspot.com/2009/06/photos-and-big-move.html
Wednesday, June 10, 2009. Photos, And A Big Move. First, the good stuff:. But you can't see how blue they are so. Well, this makes it look a little too blue. They're really, really cool, and they hurt a lot less today than they did yesterday, but it was a good thing I rode Midge in them, because it's really better I don't put my leg on him anyway, and I couldn't have if I'd wanted to. The first is that starting tomorrow, I'll be blogging for the Chronicle of the Horse. June 11, 2009 at 9:28 AM. Havent tr...

Lauren Sprieser: April 2009
http://laurensprieser.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 29, 2009. Good Thing I Love The Little Snotrag. Midgey is in the BAD PONY HOUSE. And the little snot stood straight up in the air. I'm starting to wonder if he needs shoes behind - the walls are definitely starting to break up at the bottom more than usual, and perhaps it's the increasing demands of collection? Went over him from head to toe, not sore or stiff anywhere. He spent last night in turnout, so he's got nothing to whine about. I just don't LIKE him very much right now. And it's...

Lauren Sprieser: A Few Universal Truths
http://laurensprieser.blogspot.com/2009/06/few-universal-truths.html
Wednesday, June 3, 2009. A Few Universal Truths. 1 If you keep the horses in overnight because there is a forecast of possible thunderstorms, it won't rain. 2 If you leave the indoor arena windows overnight, it will rain. So the fact that it didn't storm last night, having kept horses in BUT windows open, means? And I haven't seen a couple of my clients in weeks. So yay for some home time! Today will be a fun day because I'm going to start comitting to dates for breeding Cleo. Yay! Photos, And A Big Move.

Lauren Sprieser: Vroooom!
http://laurensprieser.blogspot.com/2009/06/vroooom.html
Wednesday, June 3, 2009. A meager 82* was the high for today, which was reached at the farm by 10 am. Nice. It made Midgey delightful - I could put my leg on! I test drove a few things, and I've narrowed it down to the Honda Fit (my favorite), the Nissan Versa (the cheapest), and the Hyundai Elantra Touring (the priciest, but barely, and feels like a luxury car). I didn't even bother trying the Toyota Yaris - the controls are in the center of the dashboard! What's up with that? Give me horses any day.

Monday, June 15, 2009. Just a quick note that my blog at the Chronicle of the Horse is live, and located here. Thanks for tuning in! Wednesday, June 10, 2009. Photos, And A Big Move. First, the good stuff:. But you can't see how blue they are so. Well, this makes it look a little too blue. But here's the big news: starting tomorrow, this blog will be no more. I know, I know, I just got this blog started, but in the course of the same one week period I got two amazing offers I couldn't refuse. First: it's...
