Bailey’s officially a member of the family. As evidenced by the title, he has earned quite a few nicknames as all my animals do! Today is St. Patrick’s Day (a holiday that means nothing to me), and it’s snowing. We have about 3 inches...
Here’s an update on my Bailey. I got him on January 8th and have only ridden him twice since then. As most people know, the mid-atlantic and northeast have been brutally attacked by Mother Nature. This has been an ongoing battle for...
Yep, it’s that time of year again! We’ve hit more milestones! Misty Mystique is 10 years old today. I can’t believe my baby hit double digits already. Where has the time gone? The birthday girl isn’t too happy right now...

Who is Martha’s Mon, you might be wondering? He’s my new horse, that’s who! I know, I know – I can’t believe I bought another horse either, (and in the dead of winter no less), but he’s a Berglie! Martha’s Mon was...
If I could do my academic life over again, I’d have gone to vet school – no doubt about it. Of course, I considered it during college, but the thought of having to put horses to sleep on a daily basis was utterly heartbreaking…so...
In the past I’ve blogged about my friends’ ribbon collections and showcased their displays. Growing up, I didn’t show as often as I would have liked, but I’ve accumulated a variety of pretty ribbons that I’ve finally put on display in the new house. I...
Apparently my family and friends know me very well; my Christmas was filled with lots of exciting fox things! It started on Christmas Eve when my mother-in-law gave me the cutest foxy notecards in my stocking. Look at the lady fox’s long lashes! And...
