Well… Spring has FINALLY arrived on the East Coast and I couldn’t be happier. I think Donny agrees, although turnout sans-blanket was a harsh reminder of how much work it is to keep a grey horse clean during the warmer months. While I wish I could buy everything I wanted all of the time…. The [...]
When I say this blog post is almost a year overdue - I am not joking. Carolyn, the owner of Wellesley Equestrian, sent me two of her beautiful brushes and a key fob as a congratulatory baby gift. Can we just take a second to appreciate how only a true horse person knows how insanely [...]
Before I kick off this long overdue blog post, I would like to make it very clear that I am in no way saying that women who choose to ride during the duration of their pregnancy are wrong or that the choice makes them bad mothers. I simply want to share my own reasoning and [...]
Dan and I are moving in three weeks, so before we start packing I decided to go through my closet and part with some things. (Ok. A lot of things.) Everything is priced to sell and in great condition unless otherwise noted. Instead of posting on my Instagram story, I thought it would be more [...]
SORRY GUYS! Another not-so-horsey post, but I figured it was time to start expanding the "lifestyle" section of the blog, so why not talk about something I'm somewhat well versed in? If there are two things in life I know my way around, they're horses and houses. My parents have been in the real estate [...]
So this isn't as much an equine-related post, but it is animal related! If you have pets, and elderly ones at that, read on for my experiences and two cents about making travel as smooth as possible for you and your senior puppers. Meet Ziggy and Ollie, my two miniature dachshunds. Ziggy just turned 12 [...]
WEF has been so many things. It’s beautiful, slightly overwhelming, extremely well run and (obviously) horsey heaven. It has shown me time and time again that I am a very little fish in a giant ocean. The grand hunter ring has challenged and humbled me. The international ring almost chewed me up and spit me [...]
As I sit here thinking about what I need to pack for my journey to Wellington, FL (aka Welly or Wellyworld), home of the Winter Equestrian Festival (aka WEF), I can’t help but be hit by a plethora of emotions. I run the gamut of feeling: insanely excited, stupid nervous, out of my mind grateful [...]
I am in the car... a lot. For work, the barn, horse shows... I do a lot of driving and over the past year have started listening to podcasts to help pass the time. So when I was asked to be a part of a new EQUESTRIAN podcast featuring an amazing group of amateurs I [...]
My skin turns into a nightmare in the winter. It gets dry, but if I use the wrong moisturizer it breaks out and becomes oily or doesn’t get moisturized whatsoever. Lack of vitamin D from being out in the sunshine has killed any sort of summer glow, so I do what I can to look [...]
I’m in a really wonderful ongoing group chat with some fellow adult ammys. I love those ladies and am so thankful to have them for their amazing advice and support. We all live in different parts of the country and are focusing on a multitude things in our horsey-related lives. Some of us show, a [...]
