I had to. I just had to. Okay, maybe I didn’t but it was too cute to pass up. What do you do when you find reindeer antlers and santa hats in the store? You take them out to the barn and put them on horses, of course!
Only Kasane was brave enough to wear the evil antlers with bells. She was very good about it. Isis wanted nothing to do with them and looked at me sideways when I wore the antlers.
I bruised my tailbone after riding back in the beginning of April and I’m still not back in the saddle. It’s driving me a little crazy not being able to ride. We have had some beautiful weather that is perfect for riding. But I’m stuck. The orthopedist was finally able to see me. He said…
The bay wonder mare has a new companion: Cedars Rajiyyah, the grey wonder mare. I am leasing her from my mom for two years or so.

The Amazing Miss B (aka Breezy) earned her nickname while recovering from the surgery to remove the bone chips from her front left fetlock. She has to be confined to a stall for 6-8 weeks. We’re allowed to hand graze her as long as she remains calm. When Isis was on stall rest after colic…
I have a gorgeous Victorian side saddle that I’ve had for many years but have never had a horse it properly fit. I bought the side saddle when I was in high school from a man who specialized in antique side saddles. The saddle was in pretty bad shape but the tree was sound. In…
