Let's Get Ready to Runkle: May 2016
http://purplmeg.blogspot.com/2016_05_01_archive.html
Let's Get Ready to Runkle. I think people want to hear about the trials and tribulations of training my first horse. The struggle is real. Thursday, May 26, 2016. Show Season for the Non Rider. Ever since I got into eventing I've spent the summers competing. My very first event was a few weeks after I started my first lease. After that I crammed as many events as possible into my limited free time. The magic of modern medicine. Hopefully though, I'll get to ride on SATURDAY! May 21, 2016 at 6:48pm PDT.

Let's Get Ready to Runkle: September 2016

Let's Get Ready to Runkle. I think people want to hear about the trials and tribulations of training my first horse. The struggle is real. Wednesday, September 28, 2016. Is anyone else really into watching 'haul' videos on Youtube? Because I freaking love them, and I feel so creepy admitting that because most of the people who have haul videos are like. thirteen. But I love seeing what other people are buying. I love new brands, new sellers. What's the in color? The finest leather goods? And in case you ...

Let's Get Ready to Runkle: Goals
http://purplmeg.blogspot.com/p/goals.html
Let's Get Ready to Runkle. I think people want to hear about the trials and tribulations of training my first horse. The struggle is real. I thought about not writing goals for us, because I don't want to jinx anything or put unnecessary pressure on either of us. At the same time I'd like to have something to work towards. So I'm going to risk the bad juju and write it anyway. Don't judge me. We all have to have dreams. (Updated 1/11/2017). Get Runkle turned back out in the big field with his mates!

The Adventures of a Floppy Ammy: What We've Been Up To
http://floppyammy.blogspot.com/2015/07/what-weve-been-up-to.html
The Adventures of a Floppy Ammy. Wednesday, July 8, 2015. What We've Been Up To. Boca and I have been chugging along, enjoying summer. Most of our rides have been fun and productive. He's getting stronger and more willing. Boca enjoys being outside the ring. I can usually sneak in more work when we're out in the open. Also, he loves to jump. I nicknamed him The Honey Badger, because Honey Badger don't care. Honey Badger jumps ALL. Admittedly, his style is, ahem, unorthodox. We're going to try Foxhunting!

Eventing Saddlebred Style: October 2016
http://eventingsaddlebredstyle.blogspot.com/2016_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 31, 2016. The other day, I was riding Stinker up in the pasture where the path is cut for a gallop track. He moved up into the trot, so I let him go. He proceeded to start cantering and I said why not and let him go. It was fun and it felt like he was going fast, but I don't think he is actually very fast*. Not a gallop, but it is pretty much the same just quicker. He doesn't need more speed for anything I want to do, this is purely out of curiosity. Friday, October 28, 2016. I want to ge...

Eventing Saddlebred Style: November 2016
http://eventingsaddlebredstyle.blogspot.com/2016_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 30, 2016. November By The Numbers. Bareback and a halter. My "month" started on the 5th, so I am missing a few days, but I thought it would be fun anyway. As full disclosure, I only did no stirrups at the walk (ok there was some jigging on a few days but the intent was there). And I do need to buy new stirrup leathers because of the no stirrups November. Number of rides: 21. Number of hours ridden: 18.75. Number of good rides: 11. Number of rides that made me want to cry: 0. The rest ...

Eventing Saddlebred Style: January 2017
http://eventingsaddlebredstyle.blogspot.com/2017_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 30, 2017. Poll Of A Problem. It's about time you figured out how to ride. My hat has been reduced to a chew toy while I stretch his shoulders. Such a sexy look. Friday, January 27, 2017. I can't seem to remember to take pictures of the acupuncture so here is the dental instead. I really really really want to buy this but have managed not to do it (yet). Hopefully he will have his fancy pants on and a brain in his head. Wednesday, January 25, 2017. My parents are in town for a visit and of...

Eventing Saddlebred Style: May 2016
http://eventingsaddlebredstyle.blogspot.com/2016_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 27, 2016. Video 1: 04.06.16. I rushed things a bit, so it isn't very good. He was pretty tense and braced. He did feel straighter, so that is a plus. My geometry was terrible, because the letters were half set for the small ring and I kept getting confused as to what letter was where (basically I am a ding dong who couldn't focus). This is also the first lesson that I had my spurs on for. There was some confusion and D ended up watching another video twice and not ever watching this video.
