Sonshine Saddlery: October 2011
http://sonshinesaddlery.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 29, 2011. So much has changed lately, I am not even too sure where to begin? I guess I will start with my realization that my true passion is (obviously) horses, so why am I not making a career out of it? Plenty of people are coming up with ways to make horses profitable, so why can't I? Considering I am trying to make a career out of parelli, I decided to start a blog to track my progress (just as I have done with this blog and tack). You can visit my new blog here:. I am not exactly s...

Sonshine Saddlery: November 2011
http://sonshinesaddlery.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 24, 2011. Hope everyone has a safe, happy Thanksgiving with good company and great food! Friday, November 18, 2011. This morning I cleaned up my room and was excited to start working on tack for the first time in a while! Wellthings didn't go as planned. My once clean room is now a disaster with tack stuff. This immediately made me feel overwhelmed. Where do I even begin? I need to focus. What do I want to do? So hopefully I will have some bridles made in the near future :). My friend ...

Sonshine Saddlery: Good News/Bad News
http://sonshinesaddlery.blogspot.com/2012/05/good-newsbad-news.html
Wednesday, May 16, 2012. I got a job! Not that I haven't always had a job, but I got a more fitting job: I am going to be managing a barn! I am probably not going to have any time to do anything model horse related this summer. My goal was to get back into tack, but I don't see that happening. What really frustrates me is I have all this leather and hardware lying around, but not any time to do anything with it. Bummer. Http:/ savvywithsonny.blogspot.com/. Hope everyone has a great summer! Just a 20 year...

September | 2013 | Paces and tails
https://pacesandtails.wordpress.com/2013/09
The adventures of an adult amateur rider. Archive September, 2013. Living in the moment. What can I say except this week has been quite the emotional roller-coaster. I’m pretty sure this situation has taken me through every emotion and reaction possible sadness, hope, sense of powerlessness, love, anger, tears, laughter, fear and everything in between. Sadness, disappointment, and anger. I feel sick to my stomach at the state of affairs at the Boss’ and can honestly say I don’t know what to do. This text...

August | 2013 | Paces and tails
https://pacesandtails.wordpress.com/2013/08
The adventures of an adult amateur rider. Archive August, 2013. I couldn’t be more pleased with Corona, even if I tried. Our show on Saturday gave us our highest score ever and we took home two third-place ribbons! Lucky for her, her coach was there so was walking her through a calming routine (and yes, I eavesdropped to learn a thing or two)! I picked up the canter again and he picked up the wrong lead (? I corrected it and we continued. We finished the test without any more indiscretions. Not overly la...

Goodbye Corona | Paces and tails
https://pacesandtails.wordpress.com/2013/10/10/goodbye-corona
The adventures of an adult amateur rider. Goodbye September 2013, and all the turmoil that came with you! I’m both happy and sad to report that Corona has moved on to a new home, without me. If he were dangerous, how have I survived riding and showing him, taking him on hunter paces, and riding him bareback around the property for the last 3 years? If he were dangerous, why did he come to the Boss’ in the first place from a very reputable person in the horse community who has trained with Olympians?

My Horse Journey: Not so Good News
http://littlesorrelmare.blogspot.com/2013/10/not-so-good-news.html
Friday, October 25, 2013. Not so Good News. So last Saturday I went out to get Gwen and saw this:. It's a laceration about two inches long and about an inch deep on her right hind, just below her stifle. While it doesn't look *that* bad at first glance (bad, but not life threatening bad) it's very deceptive. A hour or two later, she started squirting joint fluid. Not. Good. She was immediately put in a stall, and a vet was called. I'm hoping I'll get the go-ahead to start doing some gentle ground work wi...

My Horse Journey: Back in shape
http://littlesorrelmare.blogspot.com/2014/01/back-in-shape.html
Wednesday, January 22, 2014. So for the past week and a half or so I have been really pushing Gwen a bit harder in an effort to both assess her soundness and start getting her fit. She has been doing so well! So far she's shown no sign of lameness, just a bit of stiffness when I get her going. I contribute this to her lack if exercise, the chilly weather, and the fact that she has been locked in a stall for three months. I can't wait until the end of February when I can finally ride her again!

My Horse Journey: April 2014
http://littlesorrelmare.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 15, 2014. There have also been some changes in my riding style. I won't say my goals have changed because they really haven't, but my philosophy and training style have definitely evolved and changed over the past few months. Nom nom nom. Old picture. Gwen with looooong mane. Braided tail. Cause I could. I don't know what else there is to say about it. This was such a gradual change that I don't know how to feel about it, either. I'm not really sad. Not exactly happy. It's ...That's about ...
