Our Grass Is Browner: September 2012

http://ourgrassisbrowner.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html

Our Grass Is Browner. Household dreams and other adventures obstructed by reality. Monday, September 10, 2012. A couple of weeks ago, I broke my right humerus. If you want to read all about it, head over to my horse blog, Hand Gallop. It was a (work) horse related accident, so I figured it made more sense to post about it over there. I had surgery to repair the break via some rods, screws, and a plate last week. Today is the first time I can type with two hands! Previously private, embarrassing topics ar...

Poor Woman Showing: January 2015

http://poorwomanshowing.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html

Friday, January 30, 2015. Conformation Review: Bobby Magee. Make sure you guys check out this excellent post from Breeches and Boat Shoes. About basic conformation. I love the way she breaks it down and explains everything, and of course I had to immediately do the same thing to a picture of Bobby. Fuck, my horse is ugly. So I bring to you an analysis of Bobby's conformation, and how it either helps or hinders him in the various disciplines we participate in. Length vs. Height. Heartgirth vs. Legs. Hinde...

April 2015 - The Owls Approve

http://www.theowlsapprove.com/2015_04_01_archive.html

The Weight Of It. I started writing this post when I saw the light at the end of the kick-from-hell-tunnel. And then Archie got cellulitis. And then Archie got caught up in an electric fence and caused his leg to bleed and I wondered if he were going to have another bout of cellulitis. So I waited. I didn't talk about the leg-fence because I was pretty much done at that point. This has been hard. Of life medication. Surprise: it's actually not happy pills. This is called "self-medicating" and is generall...

Flying Free: Pony Time!!!

http://jumpthestars.blogspot.com/2016/06/pony-time.html

My personal journey: exploring horsemanship, college, growing up, and life in general. Tuesday, June 28, 2016. Guess which girl was able to see her own horses in person last week? This one, of course! Due to previous circumstances, I was able to get almost all of last week off from work and go back to East Texas to spend time with my family and, obviously, the lovely little mare that I am privileged to call mine! Also got to see my favorite dog again! That was great :). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Flying Free: February 2016

http://jumpthestars.blogspot.com/2016_02_01_archive.html

My personal journey: exploring horsemanship, college, growing up, and life in general. Saturday, February 20, 2016. Because of how he travels, I had a hard time with my balance at the trot, both in twopoint and posting. We did a lap of sitting trot and WOW is he smooth! Seriously, I've never sat a more comfortable trot. We did a lot of work on on getting a consistent, balanced canter and it was lovely when we got it right. The next day, I popped out to ride again since the weather was fantastic! On Monda...

My personal journey: exploring horsemanship, college, growing up, and life in general. Saturday, January 30, 2016. Two weeks ago at work, everyone was going on and on about the Powerball and what they would do if they won. Since I don't buy tickets, the entire idea was a no-go for me, but it did get me thinking. What would I do if I ever became rich? But we would all end up putting some of that money into horses, right? Except that I would want to buy up the biggest piece of land that I could find and tu...

March 2015 - The Owls Approve

http://www.theowlsapprove.com/2015_03_01_archive.html

I had one of the best weekends I've had in a long, long while. So lemme run it down for you and share the exhausted bliss. This might take a while. I stood up for myself. Someone asked me to do something I already do, but in a different manner. I said no. And I was grossly offended, but maintained some manners and kept shit professional. Ish. I also went to a runners' expo and picked up all sorts of cool shit, like tshirts and a New Balance bag and expensive chocolate. At which I decided no more halfs.
