This evening I will be speaking to a trail riding group. Out of coincidence a fellow horsewoman happened to be driving by my parents home (our current residence 🙃) and couldn’t help but notice my horse trailer parked in the front yard (they live in town). 😂🐴

Through a long conversation in the driveway we found we knew similar people and she thought my program, set up, farm, and knowledge would be a great place for the ladies (and gents?) to continue and build their skills. I am so excited to have some of these riders join my program!

In other news, we made it through this cold snap unscathed. In Texas, for fear of sand colic I made sure to always put the horses hay in 45 gal tubs with hay nets over the top, secured with a 1” ratchet straps-6 tubs am/pm. Here, I take hay out to the field and simply chuck it around! No sand here! It’s marvelous! Haha!

Inspection went great yesterday for the new house. We are moving ahead and so excited to set roots. 🙌🏼

Onward and upward! Tally ho y’all! 🫶🏼🐴

Mid weights are on. “Feels like” by tomorrow will be single digits. 🥶 MUY FRÍO!

The boys today are out and happily munching their piles of hay. They are snug as bugs in rugs. However, this cold snap does seem a little early.

Yesterday I worked out my hay budget for the year. Last year I spent 12k, the year before 15k, year before somewhere in between. This year, maybe 4k with an excess of many 100 bales?! Hay, the thing I need the most of has become my least expensive expense. Now that’s a win!

Now to get the farm sold in Texas. It’s split into 3 different listings. 13.36+/-, entire property. 9+/- raw land to build your own dream. Then 4.6+/- includes home, entrance, all out buildings, and entire back of property. I’m sick it’s become this difficult to sell a place I worked so hard on and loved. 🤞🏼🤞🏼 for a sale like yesterday. Send yo momma, daddy, grandpappy, auntie, cousin, whoever to my farm. She needs to hit the bricks.

We close on our new home/property in December. We didn’t get as much land as we wanted BUT we got a newly remodeled home and a blank slate for the ponies.

It’s my shining moment! I get to design this farm from top to bottom. I also get to finally build my very own barn. A real barn, a 6 stall, inside wash rack, feed room, separate tack room; EVERYTHING! I am so excited and have spent my lifetime taking notes in every single barn I’ve been in preparing for maybe being able to do this someday. It’s surreal.

Onward and upward! Tally ho! Stay warm y’all! 🫶🏼🐴

Sometimes you just have to see the hidden gem below.

Z is one of my all time favorite horses. He has a love hate relationship with all the horses; no in-between. He is top banana. Except Buttons, that is no relationship.

I find after 2 years he is much more cuddly with me. I have learned his moderately agreeable scratchy spots. All two of them; sometimes. 😂🐴 He has finally started to enjoy brushing with more than a soft brush. He is really special to me.

We are so excited to set roots and get rolling again. I am really excited to trail ride Z up here. He will love it! Thanks so much Ashley. He’s a treasure we adore. 🥹🫶🏼🐴l

So we have an announcement!

I have been asked by a fellow Pony Clubber from way back when who is now actively involved with her daughter to be a part of the “new” Keystone Pony Club!

I’m so excited to speak with the Club leader this week and see what I can help with and where a good fit would be for me. Especially as a rogue mom without a child active in the Club. 😂

When we get the farm, I am so looking forward to hosting Pony Club events, clinics, lessons, and the like! 🙌🏼🫶🏼🐴

Meow Whiskies (as I call him) is always near for my morning chores. 🥹🐈

The boys love these cool mornings!

Speaking of cool mornings; I beg your finest pardon, 30’s next week in the mornings?! I’m definitely going to have to dig out sheets for the cool nights coming.

Theo has managed to injure himself again. As I said on my personal page, I’m slowly slipping to crazytown with him. BUT he’s an amazing horse, so cute, I love him, and he loves me. So we deal with all he finds himself in.🤪🫶🏼🐴

The other boys are great! They galloped off to the farthest point of the pasture this morning to catch the morning sun and then followed it across the field, happily grazing as it rose. They are happy and that makes me happy. I will never be able to thank the Londons enough for the use of their farm, their kindness, and generosity. 🥹🫶🏼

We go to see the 19 acre parcel early next week. Our fingers are crossed. 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Tally ho y’all!

Experience experience experience. We can’t expect our horses to “behave” unless they know our expectations. Today was not Frankie’s first time off the farm but I do believe it was his first time in a “show” environment. Schooling calmly was the goal for today. Though a tiny tiny show; the energy, environment, crowd, etc give different experiences than at home.

Grace and Frankie were wonderful! We schooled well. Showing was not the goal for today. We are working on not swapping our backs at the canter and with each attempt at the canter he gets better. We are working on balancing, using our bodies, and working on suppling exercises.

Success is never linear. 2 steps forward, 3 back, 10 forward, 5 back, etc. These two are wonderful and really a team. They love each other and in turn try as hard as they can to take care of each other. That’s what we love to see; a bond.

I even got to see some old friends today I haven’t seen geesh since I was 10 or 11 years old. Talk about old home week. Tally ho y’all! 🫶🏼🐴👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
