Yesterday I did some gallops in a huge field that magically has a long slow uphill on one side and somehow a much less steep downhill on the other side, which makes it incredibly fun

The next two weekends will have a lot of Eventers in Florida and South Carolina gnawing down their fingernails and obsessing just a little too hard over nicks or cuts anywhere on their horses. Why more

My first event of the season wrapped Sunday evening at Pine Top’s Intermediate Horse Trials. I spent the days working for Mark Lehner of Hoofclix photography and catching up with longtime friends who happened by.

This week, I taught my first lesson at 4:30 OUTSIDE and it was mostly light at the end! It’s so exciting that it’s finally staying light later in the day, and I’ve celebrated by not

This time last year, I was gearing up for my first big run of the season at Pine Top in the Intermediate. I was also living in Aiken, covered in snow and ice and miserableness.

I finally, finally got a few free hours and some good afternoon sunlight to do some photo shoots for some awesome products to review this week! Nyls got to be my horsey model, and as

There I was, video chatting about horses (what, it’s my job) and a gleeful shout suddenly emits from the kitchen, followed by the pitter-patter of stockinged feet down the hall. The door flew open and

Yesterday I declared an early end to winter. Today, I bring you further evidence that winter really is coming to an end. Last night was the USEF National Awards Banquet which honored many national and

For my thoroughly non-horsey adventure of the week, last night I was baking some baguettes (as one does, because I found out that making your own bread is actually the best thing ever) and disaster

As I’m not going south this year, I’m resorting to more creative ways of getting my horses ready for their March debuts in competition. Nyls is doing all the horrible dressage that I can humanely

I knew that I needed a new helmet, but I didn’t realize the brain bucket I had was 11 (yes, eleven) years old until I checked it recently. That’s older than the helmet I thought
