So in my new world I am actually progressing. Kevin rarely yells at me and I have only been threatened with having a ball thrown at me once. The best part is we are actually moving past the easy stuff and working on the harder.
In Showmanship we actually practiced last year’s Congress pattern and Ace [...]
You know one of the first marriage lessons I learned was from my friend Joyce. She told me husbands don’t need to know everything. I did not really believe her at the time because I had only been married a few months and well – I was stupid.
Now I know better – certain things do [...]
No I don’t mean the do-nothing bunch in Washington. And actually I shudder to mention this at all since when I do people look at me weird.
I just don’t get what is the big deal about the QH Congress.
There. I said it.
I understand it is a big show. I get it. [...]
Sunday was Western Pleasure day – my morning started by Chewy the Viper Chihuahua trying to con me in to being her breakfast snack – it just is not a show without the gang at Dubin Farms even when they bring 5 pounds of pure evil.
The classes were big, although not as big as Saturday. [...]
Just got back from the show – once again a big turnout for Carolina Paint Horse Club! I think they are going to match the 650+ entires of last month. With gas prices and sagging shows here’s a way to go CPHC!
On the show front it is a bit puzzling. We seem to have a [...]
The great part of owning a horse is the relaxation part – I go to the barn and Ace is just happy to see me. Well she would have been had I not interrupted her dinner but too bad I had not eaten either. I had a really sucky day and just showing [...]
I went and rode today – okay I practiced showmanship so technically I did not ride but whatever. It is rainy here and luckily Kevin has an indoor so after a stress-filed day at Bankzilla I multi tasked a conference call and a commute home and got to the barn on time!
Kevin and Ace were [...]
Patience is a virtue that passed me by.
Because Ace’s parents had the foresight to give her a cute little belly spot and the APHA had not yet decided that cropouts were a bad thing we had the opportunity to show in a AQHA/APHA show in Virginia. Kudos to the Blue Ridge Quarter Horse Association for [...]
I just signed up as an Amateur sponsor for PleasureHorse.com and wow – already my traffic has gone up 20 times normal!! How very cool.
And welcome to the international folks – I now have hits from all over Europe, Japan and Australia as well as our northern cousins in Canada…eh?
I was going to attend my [...]
Today the sky is crying tears. It is gloomy and rainy and somehow it feels right.
September 11, 2001 was a normal day. I had taken my son to pre-school and had noticed that the sky was unusually beautiful. Not just the usual Carolina Blue, but an even more striking just a beautiful [...]
