Accidents Happen

Quite the post title, huh?

Well, I didn't quite get photos of all the horses, but here are the ones I did get....


Sneaky, who I've been training for the past couple weeks

Windy, who still hasn't dropped her foal by the stallion above

And the ones my husband got!

Sue, the pinto, and Mandy, the black with her head behind Sue's withers

L-R-Jack, Sue (butt angle, grrr), Kaylene, and Sneaky... Not sure where Mandy is

Well, since last weekend's post I have...

Basically, survived another week without air conditioning (pretty easy for me; I'm used to it, now)
And survived a freak accident with Sneaky that I don't remember. He is pretty intelligent, but that day, when we were starting to train him to be ridden, something happened in his head and he panicked and fell, knocking me out. He is the last horse that would intentionally hurt me, just he is a sensitive stallion and something went wrong. However, I actually find myself wanting more and more to be with that horse again and retry the green-breaking process (okay, that sounds insane even to me right now but what can I say?!). He is a brilliant horse.

So, I am recovering from a closed head injury and a cervical sprain (neck injury) and multiple contusions (aka bruises). I did have a concussion and enough memory loss to freak my poor husband out, but that's getting better. We did cancel a trip to my parents' place this weekend because of it, but really, the accident could've been worse. I'm thanking God for keeping me alive and my husband safe.

Till next time!

Being a Mom

Today I change course a little. Today, I focus less on my other passions and transform this blog into telling of how I juggle being a mom with those passions - horseback riding and training, this blog, and horse racing... and being a wife. Will you join me as I tell the tales of the ups and downs of being the mother of one adorable, sometimes-cranky, people-person boy? As I write this, my eleven-week-old son is sitting next to me, grinning and chatting. Last weekend, he enjoyed being passed around from aunt to uncle and grandparent to grandparent, and meeting two people he had never seen before - my best friend and her father. Right now, Yance sleeps about six and a half hours a night and gets fed six times a day. Woken for each meal, he spends an hour to an hour and a half awake (including meal time), and then he gets tired and cranky and put to bed. The only exception is for his morning meal, at 5:30. I always need extra sleep to survive to his last meal of the day, so he gets p

New Year, New President

Inauguration Day Today, President-elect Donald Trump will be sworn into office in what is turning out to be an awesome inauguration ceremony. These past two months have shown the state of this country - indeed, the past year has demonstrated how lost and confused a good portion of its people are - and it is in a poor condition. Most of the people want the country to be fairer to the majority, but a large minority, the “left”, the “liberals” (why are they called liberal when they are so tight-fisted and often Ebenezer Scrooge-like?), want it to cater to them. This country was not founded to be ruled by fear. It was founded to give everyone an equal chance to pursue happiness. We cannot please everyone. Those who truly want to improve their lives will work at it, and this country will let them try. They are not locked into their station in life, except perhaps by their own foolishness. Those who wish to be catered to and so are causing such destruction are spoiled brats, products
