Thank you to everyone who has been checking in on us. We are safe!!! The horses are enjoying their first day in the winter pasture full of nice long yummy grass. It's a new chapter :)

Thankfully we are safe from the hurricane but there is a lot of cleanup to do. We have lost quite a few trees and a ton of large limbs came down. One of the trees was caught up in another one and there was no way it was going to free itself. We were rigging it to try to pull it free with the tractor and then we stepped away for a minute to get the tractor. Crimson walked up as if to say "hook me up I got this". Nothing like the original "horse power". This is one brave boy with a huge heart!!

How much weight can a horse carry?

In my experience, a horse can carry an infinite amount.

They can carry the weight of broken hearts, broken homes, and broken bodies. Countless tears sometimes comb their tangled manes. Moments when parents and friends cannot be there to help and hold a person, horses embrace and empower. They carry physical, mental, and emotional handicaps. They carry hopes and dreams; and they will carry the stress from your day when you can’t carry it anymore.

They carry graduations, they carry new careers, they carry moves away from everything familiar, they carry marriages, they carry divorces, they carry funerals, they carry babies before they are born, and sometimes they carry the mothers who cannot carry their own baby. They carry mistakes, they carry joy, they carry the good and they carry the bad. They carry drugs and addictions, but they also carry the celebrations.

They will carry you to success when all you have felt is failure. They will carry you, never knowing the weight of your burdens and triumphs.

If you let them, they will carry you through life, and life is hard, life is heavy. But a horse will make you feel weightless under it all.

Whether at a WEC horse show or walking the "hills" in our pasture in a hackamore and ba****ck pad Cabin Crimson Lad is a dream come true:)

Piper is practicing her napping skills during the storm. I give her a score of 10 for form, flexibility and cuteness overload

Our winter guests left and the morning felt empty without them. I was feeling a little sad and then I looked over and this beautiful blue bird was just sitting on the cross ties basking in the sun and it brought a smile. I will miss all the horses and humans on the JJ Lavieri team and barn family. You have all been a pleasure and I respect how hard you work to keep your horses happy and healthy. Safe travels and I look forward to seeing you all next year :)

I received the photos from Andrew Ryback Photography! and it shows that MSH Cabin Crimson Lad put in a wonderful effort at WEC last week. He doesn't like to touch the rails!!!

Day 2 at World Equestrian Center complete. Crimson amazing once again! Rider error on my part because I did a turn so tight I missed the fence. My fault for not looking ahead. Crimson is an amazing partner!!! Now he gets to go home and relax with his buddies. Our debut was very successful and I couldn't be happier!

First time in the show arena in 30 years. This feels like a dream but please don't pinch me. I'm enjoying the moment too much. I'm so happy with Crimson. He took great care of me!!!
