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 [...]
Since I’m a big fan of the Tapestry Equine Products Spursuaders which I posted a review on last winter (you can check it out here) I was really excited to try their English Comfort Girth because I always put my horses care and comfort above everything else. The Tapestry English Comfort Girth has a 6" [...]
So, this is kind of embarrassing. But it happened, and it’s fine. When I got back into the world of showing I was pretty much in awe of how show jackets were made out of technical material and actually had GIVE. They stretched! They let you move! I wasn’t left scrambling to find loose collars [...]
As a follow up to the previous post on my dream photoshoot with LindseyK Photo, below are answers to the questions submitted to the ECE Instagram account! Questions for the Photographer (LindseyK Photo) How far do you travel? I will travel anywhere! I'll travel 3-4 hours by car for a standard shoot, and I'm also happy [...]
PSA: I don’t really like having my photo taken. I always feel awkward and when I smile for too long my eyes start going all squinty and things just get weird. I also hate not knowing how to stand - I missed the sorority squat/hand on the hip lessons they apparently teach you in college. [...]
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 [...]
Ok, maybe not hooray. Actually I think boobs can be really annoying. With so many different types and strap configurations, finding the right one can be kind of overwhelming (and uncomfortable.) And all of that effort just to get our ladies looking perfect and perky underneath whatever we've decided to wear that day! Honestly I [...]
I have the upmost respect for values and traditions. I commend the equestrian sport for upholding the rules of horse and rider turnout throughout the years. However I do occasionally find myself feeling like I did when I went to a private all girls school that had strict uniform requirements… bored and antsy. Let me [...]
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 [...]
