A friend tagged me in a local equestrian network’s regular ad posting. Hm. Interesting. I clicked through. This feels like looking at a younger version of Confetti. Seriously trippy. I emailed, told myself I’d wait a week, and made it … Continue reading →
My long-term horse plans have come to terms with owning a semi-retired endurance pony. She’s not anywhere near ready to retire yet. Competition isn’t happening, though. We’ll mosey about on trails for as long as she’s happy doing so. Silly … Continue reading →

Fetti is up to 30 minutes of handwalking daily. Thank goodness she’s five minutes from home. I am doing my best to make sure she gets that every single day – despite my usual schedule taking me to the barn … Continue reading →
