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 [...]
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 [...]

Now that's out of the way... I present to you the full, unedited list of sh!t (all of your) trainers say: "You throw yourself at [...]

Allow me to let you learn from my past mistakes. Here are the items that have saved me when I'm in a pinch and those "oh that will never happen!" things actually do happen. I've made it easy for you, all of the images are shoppable. Buy 'em, put them in a bag, and hopefully [...]
On Horse Ownership Wouldn't one more be so fun? Yay best friends! On second thought, one is fine. Please stop hurting yourself. I wonder if my vet thinks I'm crazy. Um, I think something may really be wrong this time. Could you come out to the farm? Is that horse or dog hair? Does it [...]
