After reading Ruffian: Burning from the Start and Ruffian: A Racetrack Romance, I wanted to visit her grave at Belmont Park in New York. I had never been to Belmont before, but since James and I were in Manhattan last week, we decided to...
Hi friends – I’m back! If you follow me on Instagram @marylandequestrian, you probably figured out that I was on vacation last week. My husband and I started off in East Rutherford, New Jersey, at the Kenny Chesney and Jason Aldean concert at...
As you’ve probably seen from quite a few of my posts, the majority of my house is covered in horses. Every time we redo a room in our old fixer-upper home, I’ll say, “I think this room will have…an equestrian theme.” Shocker. I recently...
Did you miss me? Last week I left for Mexico on Wednesday and returned late last night. I know, I should have told you I was leaving, but I think it’s a little unsafe to advertise to the world that I’m away, and...

So I’ve officially joined the 30 Club…and I just can’t believe it. I don’t feel like I’m 30…I don’t think I look like I’m 30…and I certainly don’t act like I’m 30. But then I started to think – what IS 30 supposed...
Since James and I went on a cruise back in March, and have a few long weekend type vacations planned for the rest of the year, we decided to keep our anniversary celebration low key. We celebrated 7 years of wedded bliss on July...
