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

2021 Recap

 I'm doing my Annual Recap early because, well, my horsey-year is over. Between not taking advantage of the re-opening local indoor this year due to time and financial constraints, and Sierra being pregnant, I'm taking a good hiatus from the saddle. I still hope to get my boots dirty from time to time on some of our other horses, but with winter looming in the not-so-far distance, I don't forsee much time being spent on the back of a horse in the near future. While it gives me a strange sense of desire, it also brings an odd relief.  I ended my season on a high, and I'm so incredibly glad I did.  Thinking back to roughly this time last year, Sierra had just gotten home from she-who-should-not-be-named, and I found my recently post-partumed ass chucked in a snowbank amid frozen ground.  She was wound so tight, full of ulcers and half lame whilst I was confused, upset and disappointed in myself for the situation I found myself in.  Once we got her back on the road to bett

All the best things in life are wild & free ...

I haven't blogged in a while because to be honest, there is literally nothing going on in my life right now.  I've been really busy with the typical holiday rush and I managed to catch a mexican flu courtesy of my in laws who brought the plague home from their vacation so as you can imagine, I wasn't feeling up to much.  Today was the first time I actually felt desire to be anything more than a couch potato. Unfortunately i'm currently in bed regretting it but I managed to get myself outside and be semi-useful. Kai has had about 2 weeks off as per previously mentioned and today was notably the most insane she's ever been.  Right from the get go, she was completely whacko-bananas and she had me questioning my sanity the entire session but we made it through. I brought her into the barn to tack up then I lunged her, ground drove her and untacked her in the arena to roll.  I thought she had enough exercise but following her roll in the snow she took of
