It Finally Stopped Raining

   For those of you that didn't know. Texas has been being FLOODED. Literally. While those of us with property on the lake are extremely happy to have our water front property back, a lot of people have lost everything from the flooding. There's even been tornadoes. 

Back In The Saddle

     It's been seven months since I've ridden. Seven very long months. Somewhere in the middle of my first trimester I gave up riding for the safety of the baby. It was torture, but I knew it was just for a season. In the grand scheme of things, a fairly short season... but as of last week the dry spell is over. I'm back!

First Real Trial Ride

   So I talked one of my friends into taking the horses off the property and go on a real trail ride! I mean, it was like a four hour ride. But it was in the rain, on super rocky trails, on inexperienced horses.

My Husband the Cowboy

  Something I have wanted for a very long time is to be able to go riding with my husband. Up until recently we haven't had horses that we can enjoy in any other way except for english show horses. Either jumpers, dressage or hunter/jumper. Now we finally have some horses that aren't finely tuned performance animals, so it's okay for an inexperienced rider to enjoy some time in the saddle without the risk of undoing countless hours of training.

Christmas Part II

I think one of the best parts to Christmas was towards the end of the day. My sister and I got to take my aunt out on a trail ride on our beautiful property in Spicewood, TX.

Lana

   Well. I would like to introduce our newest horse! We have quite the collection of paint mares now. It's actually really awesome, looking out into our pasture seeing three beautiful colored mares grazing peacefully.
