Jodhpurs and Breeches
I researched the history of jodhpur pants for a school project and I learned a lot. I never knew jodhpurs were so interesting.
Book Review: Body Conditioning for the Horse and Rider by Dr. Danielle Shugard, Dr. Madelyn Rauch, and Heather Wallace
I love this book. I love how it is laid out. I love how easy it is to read and understand. I love the accompanying photos.

Horse Lessons
Every horse teaches countless lessons. After over ten years with both of my horses, I can only name a few lessons they have taught me.
Dear Trinity
Opps. I didn’t even realize the ten year anniversary of Trinity entering our lives was coming up! I feel so bad for missing it! Can I blame everything I have going on right now? Is that lame? I’m sorry, Trinity!

A dog in the distance barks.
Crickets on the ground sing “Chirp.”

Book Review: War Horse by Michael Morpurgo
This has such a Black Beauty feel to it and I LOVE it! It is such an emotional story following Joey through World War I. So much happens. It’s a great story.

Flash is a very important pony to me. For many reasons that I won’t get into much here. This post is not to explain who he was to me. This post is to help me process finding out about his death.
