Until We Meet Again

 Goodbye for now... —

Sierra left at 5:30 this morning to head down to Carol-Ann's barn to go on consignment.  She has several people lined up to come try her, and what I knew would be a bittersweet moment had finally come.

This week we enjoyed 3 fantastic rides in a row, and for our potentially final ride together I chose to go on a short ride down the road with two friends yesterday.  Over the past few days, I spent a lot of time talking to Sierra and telling her what a special horse she is - far too special for me and the stage i'm at in my life.  I like to think she understands me, but she seemed completely impartial.

Truth be told, I don't have much words right now to explain how i'm feeling, and nothing is written in stone - or rather, no papers have been signed yet - so until something is confirmed i'm trying not to go too far down the rabbit hole.  For now, here's some pictures from this past week while I work to gather my thoughts.


I have hardly jumped in 10 years, but took a moment to have some fun


After Ray jumped her for a bit of video for CA


Friend was pushing her kiddo in her stroller because her horse is injured


I'll miss this beautiful face immensely

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...
