14 Mar Dear Misty
Now that spring is on its way, I’m so motivated to get back into the swing of things with my riding. Unfortunately, Misty has had most of the winter off…so you know what that means! I’ll be riding a crazy monster for a...

13 Mar The Cat Who Never Hissed
I live with three cats, and the only reason I know this is because the food I leave out disappears and the litter boxes I put out get full (ick). My cats are fairly reclusive (all were strays rescued as kittens) and are afraid of...
09 Mar Keeneland Racetrack
Lexington is the home of Keeneland, a stunning racetrack situated on 147 bucolic acres. Now the only track I’ve ever been to is Pimlico…and anyone who’s been there can tell you that, sadly, it’s not the best around (let’s change this Maryland!!). From...
06 Mar Man O’ War
For those of you who don’t know anything about horse racing giant Man O’ War…I can tell you that he was kind of…The Man. Man O’ War, along with some of his offspring, is buried at the Kentucky Horse Park. In the words of my...

The slogan for The Kentucky Horse Park is, “The Place to Get Close to Horses.” And this is true, but it really should read, “The Place to Get Close to Horses…if You’re a Kid.” The horse park is great – it’s like Disney World for the...
25 Feb Three Chimneys Farm – Part II
We had the nicest tour guide at Three Chimneys – that is until he yelled at me. I can’t remember his name, but he was super friendly and, of course, very knowledgeable about the racing industry and all of his Thoroughbred charges. If only I...
23 Feb No More Winter!
Anyone who knows me knows how much I love the summer. I’ll take the humidity, the bugs, and the scorching heat any day of the week over these frigid temperatures. I was so excited last weekend when the temperatures topped at 70! Now, sadly, we...
22 Feb Who is the Sassy Grey? Meet Misty!
Since my horse inspired me to start this blog, I figured it was time to introduce my readers to the diva that is Misty Mystique. In 2008, I adopted Misty off the track as a four year old. It was truly love at first sight...
