Gorgeous Boy in Action
Wednesday, October 30 2013
On Sunday I trailered Tucker over to Alicia’s for a jumping lesson and he was such a good boy. I had a discussion with a friend recently about cross-training or doing different things with your horse, and we agreed that while you can’t have a top level show horse who also trail horse and also a dressage horse, you can do lots of different types of riding and activities and end up with an all-around awesome horse who is fun to ride no matter what you’re doing

Okay I wanted to say the cutest pictures you’ll ever see, but the internet is so full of pictures of kittens doing adorable things that I didn’t know if I could make that claim. But I feel like there are good odds that these are the cutest pictures you’ll see today.

In Which Tucker and I Get Out and Make New Friends
Tuesday, October 15 2013
So first things first… quick update on my last post: Montel has found a wonderful home! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the horse world is a strange but truly beautiful place. Just when I had hit a point of desperation and was visiting neighborhood farms to see if they’d take him in exchange for barn help (like I have that kind of time), people started coming forward. Montel in his younger days So many people reached out to help, either through spreading the word or offering him a safe place to land.

Tucker’s First Fix-A-Test
Monday, June 03 2013
OnTheBit from A Horse and a Half (who also did the fix-a-test with Lucky) was kind enough to video our test during the fix-a-test we did on Sunday, so you all can see how adorable Tucker is looking these days. I loved the Judge, Mindy Elgart. She gave lots of helpful criticism but was extremely nice to all of us.
