Fun Friday – Did I or Didn’t I?

Last Friday I promised to share whether I rode a horse last week, or this week, and the answer is… No. I didn’t. Last week, after my Barn Betty shift, I groomed a lovely Arab mare, Princess; this week a winter storm kept me off the road until evening, and by then the horses were …

Slippery Saddles

This week is week two of my work-exchange program where I offer stable help in exchange for riding lessons and or a part-lease. Last week the stable owner contacted me to suggest I get up on a horse this week. I’m writing this Monday morning (Jan 28), and this afternoon I put in my Barn …

Cowboys

 Day 3 of A to ZChallenge, which means the letter C, and one of my favorite topics: Cowboys.  I have a soft spot for everything cowboy. Could have something to do with the fact I grew up country. Or the mystique that surrounds the lean, hard men that seem impervious to dust and cold, happy …
