Sunday Morning Diary – a fall, a confidence de-rail and being a curvy rider.
When I started this blog, I promised to share with all of you the good, the bad, and the ugly of horse ownership and riding. This entry falls under a mix of all of that. Several weeks ago, I fell off of Copper. What was so profound for me – it was my first fall.Continue reading “Sunday Morning Diary – a fall, a confidence de-rail and being a curvy rider.”
Saturday Evening Diary – a bit of canter, a little walkabout around the barn, and some personal growth and change…
Good evening all! Let’s catch up! It’s been 9 weeks since my mom passed away, and the reality of her not being here has fully set in. The autopilot days are long gone and I find myself thinking about her more and more throughout the day.

Sunday Evening Diary – Sunshine and Horses
11 days. That’s how many days went by where my area didn’t see the sun. Grey clouds, rain & snow, no sun. All week leading up to this weekend the forecast said the sun would come out. But you know, the ones that forecast the weather are the only people who can be wrong andContinue reading “Sunday Evening Diary – Sunshine and Horses”

First and foremost – Merry Christmas to all my amazing supporters!🎄 The last several months have been an emotional rollercoaster for me.

Friday evening diary – kicking it up a notch
Happy New Year folks! Something amazing has happened. It’s been 7 years of riding in the making, but I finally punched through the glass ceiling that has been holding my confidence hostage.

Sunday evening diary – It’s been awhile – let’s catch up!
Hi everyone. My deepest apologies for being MIA for so long, but lots of changes have happened since the summer, so let’s dive right in. First off, Alfie and Copper are fine. The changes that happened had to do with the management at our barn. In August, after a little over 2 years, the barnContinue reading “Sunday evening diary – It’s been awhile – let’s catch up!”
Monday Afternoon Diary – We are champions…
What an eventful day yesterday was. Just take a look… Our first away horse show was a HUGE success, not only for me but for another young lady named Mila who also rode Copper and she won champion in her division.
