Riding Rules for Middle Aged Horsewomen
Shamelessly borrowwed from Facebook, these made me laugh. Zelda has special appreciation for #10 and I am certainly guilty of #12. I love my Western Sport Sensation (photos soon). One more rule to add: Selfies must be taken to document the event. We DO NOT need to show up with our hair combed and wearing […]

If you’ve read Susan’s blog, Saddle Seeks Horse, I’m sure you’ll enjoy her […]
Read MoreFrench & Saunders go Riding
On a dreary, cold November day, this video was exactly the good laugh that I needed. These two are the perfect example of how horses can make you happy even when things don’t exactly go according to plan. After all, it’s the journey, not the destination that counts. My apologies — the video is not […]
