I cannot think of a stinkier way to wake up than the way I did this morning. About 2:30 a.m. I am dreaming a weird dream that involves something unpleasant, but I cannot quite figure out what it is. Just as I am starting to realize what is soooo unpleasant, Mark jumps up in bed [...]
When will the rain stop? They say that we have hit records for the most rain in March. I feel sorry for the horses outside as the pastures get real muddy. Jason had the plumber tune up the sump pump system in the house. Why that is important is that the central 15 acres of [...]
I didn’t post recently as our schedule at William Woods University was quite full. If you didn’t know, Mark and I took Jessie to the World Cup Saddleseat Equitation tryouts in Fulton, MO. We did a road trip as the last time I did this with Jessie 2 years ago the airports were closed for [...]
I have to say today was a great day in the barn. All the ladies (and Doug ) were on the top of their game and that is always fun when my riders do well. To add to that, the weather was nice even if it was a little cool, there was no rain. All [...]
I was not going to write tonight as I have really felt tired. I sometimes wonder how I am going to get through the show season. I know I need to get my blood drawn so I can be tested for Lyme’s. Everything in the barn was pretty darn good today, so me being tired [...]

I think the only day that could possibly get more busy than today will be tomorrow. I can hardly wait. Sometimes we get so busy in the barn when I go home I only have two thoughts; the first is “Who died and left me in charge?” and the second is “Who sucked my brain [...]
Another beautiful day weather wise. We were able to get the chairs for our open house today which in turn will allow us to practice an extra day. We have set up 75 chairs at one end of our arena and there is now a low rail to separate the chairs from the horses. Here [...]
Today started out with a tick check and I am happy to report no ticks. I think I have the songs picked out and the order of go for Sunday so all we need is to practice around the new and improved seating area in the arena and we are set. All of the horses [...]
Here is how I woke up this morning. Picture this…. I was slowly waking up, the sun was shining, NO RAIN, when I hear Mark’s voice as he comes back into the bedroom, “What I have to tell you will make you jump out of bed AND be creeped out!” I opened my eyes and [...]
