I am just a girl who loves horses! Pretty much everything there is about horses from the hooves up. I come from a line of female trainers and horse lovers. I purchased my first horse when I was 15 and haven't looked back. :) I am married to a non-horsey husband who loves me even though he says I am a prime example of "My Little Pony" gone wrong. I am just going to share my feelings and experiences with you and hope that we can learn and grow in our passion for horses together.
Well, as I sit here on this gorgeous, cool, sunny morning all I can think is "Man I wish we were showing today"; like I was supposed to be doing. The last two days we have had HUGE rains here in North Central Texas. Bringing the temperature down by almost...
What a hard work out and day of learning we had today. Ariana was injured a little over a month ago and she just refuses to pick up her left lead canter since. We have been working on it, and she is about to a 50/50 on picking it up or refusing. She...
There are times in life when we have to take a break from our beloved horses. These reasons could be due to a failure in our own health, the loss of our favored mount or an injury to self or mount (both physical or emotional). During these rough times...

Let me start out by explaining I have been instructing adults and children in riding and riding safety for over 17 years so I a little biased. I do believer that if you follow some very simple guide lines you can have the best of both worlds. The main...
Did you know that extreme weather changes can cause dehydration? Most people wouldn't think about it like this but it really can confuse the body of a horse. Here in Texas and especially this year we have really had some major weather! Everyone thinks...
Having been a Mare Watcher at two major breeding facilities in Southern Indiana in my late teens I can honestly say that the information that I am about to share I have seen first hand. I am a believer. If you have a mare have you ever noticed that...
Well we had a scary past 24 hours. There was a stall door that wasn't locked and the ponies were able to enter the stall and then the main barn. Much like mice when the parents are away the ponies will play. They checked out all the buckets, the ...
I know that many people in the horse world would never own a stud or have anything to do with one unless they were running a breeding facility. But there are a lot of people out there with Alpha mares and don't realize that they can be as dangerous and...
