Back To The Stable And Back To Work!

December 14, 2009

I held off as long as possible before starting up projects but we’re updating our fields for the winter turnouts and giving the spring/summer fields a break so there has been fencing work to be done. The arena sat dormant for the months I was training in The Netherlands with Anky so it was interesting … Read More

CEM In Southern Pines & Surf’s Up!

December 12, 2009

It took about 22 hours stopping every 2 hours to let Carrara rest and stand still quietly in the box but I would do it again to do it myself knowing first hand how well she was cared for as well as saving on the expense. She was a rockstar going on as always just … Read More

I was looking back through a series of photos taken with a local photographer in a shoot here over the summer and had to laugh at this sofa picture.

Well I didn’t have a pie plate so improvised with a skillet. I think this could be a big southern hit “Skillet Pie Cooking With HorseGirlTV” … Read More

Selling my NEW Ovation and NEW Dehner Dress Riding Boots!

December 9, 2009

Okey! So some girls collect purses and shoes. I happen to collect the more fashionable yet function things like dress riding boots, saddles, bridles and the occasional fancy leather halter. But I have too many dress boots! Now some of you folks will say “Too many dress boots? Well that’s not possible.” but really there … Read More

Carrara Is Back!

December 8, 2009

She was a champ on the way over. A champ at Anky’s being around MAJOR construction the ENTIRE time with several cranes working, dogs, people, jackhammers, and you name it. She was great getting on and off the big and small horse boxes and lorreys and just a rockstar in general so to hear she … Read More

Picollo And Zita Re-unite!

December 7, 2009

I think Picollo is somewhat happy to have Zita back around. What do you think? Yes. It’s December and Zita is panting laying in the sun through the window! I left cold, wet and blustery Erp for blustery yet warm and kinda wet NC! Awesome weather!
