No more cold showers for me!

Those that know me know I am neurotic, an obsessive planner, sarcastic, a bit of a potty mouth and a huge procrastinator.  I don’t mind any of it but the last one.  Ironically as a Project Manager I am unable to allow myself the luxury of procrastination so I save it all up for home.
So [...]

She went to her knees and came up loping

So this weekend I was at the SCQHA Winter Thaw aka the schooling show with Quarter Horse points.  Lets just say there was no thaw – it was FREEZING.  So freezing that the water pump in my LQ froze and burst.
The show started out good, I was first and second in Novice Showmanship and middle [...]

If Cleve Wells had hired me…

Once upon a time I was a speechwriter for politicians.  Here is my attempt at spin for King Cleve:
My fellow Horse Lovers,

Cleve Wells loses PHA membership

Not official, because AQHA says they are waiting until after an Executive Committee meeting to release this news but in a stunning OJesque attempt to change public perception King Cleve has ignored the AQHA’s process and announce it himself on PleasureHorse.com

Big Girl Panties are ON

Big step today…I told Kevin I want to start riding Ace before he does.  It makes sense since I will be heading off to shows on my own while Kevin heads to the Solid Side.  Had a great ride tonight, Ace was really dull and lazy so I had to put some pressure on her [...]
