TRM Blog Hop - Before & Afters

My good friend from That Red Mare has started a Blog Hop.  This is my first kick at the virtual can, and I've opted to single out Kidd for this post, only because I've only owned Kai for a week so I feel there isn't much I can say or post about her!

Ok, so here are some Before & After's of Kidd!








The day I brought him home!


Finally have the worm infestation mostly cleaned up and finally putting on some weight!

Sacking out as a long yearling with a lightly girthed up saddle for the first time!


Kidd @ 2, First time being clipped (and my first time clipping!)
Kidd in the Fall of his 2 Year Old Year, very lightly started U/S
Preparing Kidd to be started Under Saddle, Fall 2012
Kidd's second ride U/S, and Ray's first time on him!
Spring of 2013, after a light backing and the winter off he was ready to rock!

Did you know as a Yearling I trained Kidd to stand up, due to the intent to show the Arab circuit?!



 And now.....

    He was pretty correct the entire time he grew up - not much for an awkward stage!

    Haha Thank you! I was lucky enough to buy him from a friend. Ironically, she bred Black Arabians and when Kidd popped out she wanted him off her farm promptly! I'm really not much of an Appaloosa person, but there was something about him!

January Analysis & February Goals

We have survived the first month of 2019 and as I expected, we were hit with both Snowmageddon AND Mother-Fcking-Cold-Mageddon.. and we were also hit with "oh my god it's nice, I wanna garden and play with ponies outside" as well as "it is so windy, I think my face literally got stretched off my skull".. We have literally had all 4 seasons in the past 30 days, and while some days were glorious, it also put a damper on my January goals . January Goals: Spend at least 4 Hours in the Saddle I'm going to call this a win. I had some issues with my Equilab app that required Technical Support and some of my rides were lost, so while I currently have about 3.6 Hrs logged for January, I'm thinking I hit 4, or just over. Continue with regular Stretching (on the ground) I definitely put a lot of time into this, and also introduced a new REMT who gave me additional stretches to do.  At our 2nd appointment, she said there was noticeable difference!

Blog Hop: 2020 Summary; Covid Edition

 While we all live in different towns, have different goals and different lives - but one thing that we all have in common is what a wild and wonky year 2020 was.  The reality is, it's all affected us in one way or another, and with 2020 coming to an end it's time to reflect and look hopeful towards an improved 2021. What's the best thing that happened to you in 2020? Personal: Hands down, the birth of my daughter .  After 4 years of fertility struggles, I'm beyond grateful and though some days feel like an eternity of struggle, confusion and pain, my heart has never been more full. Horsey: It's hard to choose. Despite hardly riding, I've had a lot of wonderful horsey-filled memories this year.  From the birth of Phascinating BRR , my second homebred to date, to the few rides I got to enjoy and making a major investment in my breeding business, there's been lots to be thankful for. What's the worst thing that happened to you in 2020? Personal: It's...
