Wow, I had a great ride tonight! My friend Amy came along and we did some more fiddling with the bridle, adjusted the curb chain and checked the saddle fit. Then Amy rode Rosie around the arena for about 20 minutes. She tossed her head a little at the beginning but after Amy worked with [...]
Got to ride for about 45 minutes last night after work last night. I didn’t get any new pictures though, it was pretty dark even in the lit arena by the time I got out there and I only had the camera on my phone with me.
Dr Sue was there tonight and she thinks there [...]
We’ve had a lot of fun over the long weekend! I was out at the barn every day, sometimes for up to 7 hours!
I went on a spending spree at Tom’s Western Store on Saturday and picked up some new tack, including a pretty, shiny red headstall and reins. The leather is a metallic red [...]

I am now officially a horse-owner! Thanks to my lovely, adoring and wonderful husband who bought me a gorgeous Tennessee Walking Horse mare!
I got her yesterday, and spent 7 hours at the barn with her just grooming her and getting to know each other. I’m gonna stop out today sometime too, probably after [...]

Two Tennessee Walker mares to ride on Tuesday (trail ride at Silver Creek!), a Rocky Mtn Horse on Thurs, another Tenn Walker mare Friday at Willow Tree in [...]
So, Saturday is the big day. Driving 3 hours into Indiana to test ride 2 horses to see if either is a good match for me. Karin and Amy will be along for the horse-y fun and to help me evaluate both horses. There will be loads of fun & adventure!
Here are the [...]
Hey, wanna critique a couple ponies for me?
I’m still horse shopping… Looking at Tennessee Walking Horses for their smooth gaits. I’ve got a couple that seem like they have good potential and may be worth visiting to take a test ride. Take a look and let me know what you think!

Whadda ya think?
So, I’ve been browsing several websites shopping for a horse. I’ve got favorites/bookmarks/wishlists/saved ads/etc. galore and thought I’d post some here to see what ya’ll think… (See, I don’t even have the horse yet and I’m already talking like a cowboy!)
Below are my top eight – at least for the moment!
For some reason [...]
