Weekend Wrap-up

Another great weekend.  Drove up to Connecticut on Friday and made excellent time.  Did it in about 5 and a half hours, which is excellent considering I got hung up in Tysons (VA) and outside of Manhattan (that would be NY).  Weather was great the whole weekend and for my drive.  As is usual, I sang [...]

My California Girl

I love when my girls make time to visit when they are in town.  Allie has since moved to California, not far from San Diego and was in town for a visit with her family and made time to meet me for dinner last night.  It is amazing to see the girls grow up and [...]

Grab mane!

What a weekend!  Got to ride both days and had the special treat of having a friend from high school days come and visit!  It is so rare when I have friends visit at the barns (one can’t expect visitors often, though, as let’s face it, riding is really boring to watch!) so it feels [...]

Weekend Wrap-up

No weekend is complete without my riding all over the countryside.  This weekend was no different. 
Bob and I headed to our usual breakfast Saturday morning, ran a bunch of errands then headed our separate ways.  He, to the boathouse, me to my barns.  First stop was Dover, though.  Dropped off a blanket and a fly [...]

If you want to go to Heaven, drive west

I know this might catch the eye of those who might live in our western states but I apologize, I’m not talking about your neck of the woods.  I’m talking about Northern Virginia horse country. 
By day, I work in a suburb to Washington, DC.  I’m on what used to be referred to as the technology corridor.  [...]

Tonight’s ride

There is constant discussion amongst horsewomen about how they juggle job, home, family and riding.  Thankfully, I don’t have kids and have [...]

Syracuse Recap Part I

I love going to the big shows – the good shows that bring all the best talent.  I hate it at the same time.  It absolutely KILLS me to watch the good riders ride.  It sort of gives me a hamster-on-a-wheel feeling, which is something I’ve had for the past five years.  Even though, when [...]

All my bags are packed and I’m ready to go….

I hate packing.  The dogs hate it too.  As soon as they see that suitcase, they go into a dither.  Sassy will go so far as to get inside of my bag in hopes I’ll either take her with me or it will slow me down.  She’s lucky to be alive right now, actually, given [...]

Twiddling with my blog

I’m all proud.  Not only did I add a chat widget but I managed to figure out how to put a hyperlink of text under my Women’s Colony button in the sidebar to the right so you can go directly to my post they published there.  Hah! Do ya hear it?  Yup, that’s me, patting [...]

I love riding in the fall

My, my how I love fall.  I feel like fall is my month since I was born in it.  As you might already know, if you’re a friend or a good stalker, this is my birth month.
The picture above is of Tracey (on the right) and me riding in the fall [...]
