I had to write a quick positive note on my horses. As we well know, we should remember each great ride and break-through, because there will always be a day we can’t remember when it was fun. This week I have expierenced several of my horses “personal best” days with me. A lovely dressage horse, Tommy gave [...]

Mid Winter in Boise
January 30, 2012 – 2:13 pm
I don’t know how many ear shots you should have, but I have a lot! This weekend, my helper Devin and I rode Tatiana and Foster into the foothills for some much needed vitamin D and fresh air. We have ridden the indoor for 2 weeks straight! Thank goodness we are now able to ride [...]
Happy New Year

2012 is going to be the best year yet. We are starting with blue sky, great family and friends, and an amazing group at the barn (human and horse). This past week I have been lucky to have old friends and new at the barn. Michelle has been in from her freshman year of college. [...]

Merry Christmas! Happy New Year! We wish you and your family a peaceful and fun season. Josh and I have been hiking, playing at the barn and spending time with friends. I appreciate this time of year to recharge, take time to reflect and organize. Today was my first of many yoga classes to come. [...]
December and still loving it!

Quick update. The day is getting away from me- Happy to say they believe that Zymon’s broken patella should heal completely and not effect his career as a jumper. Sad to say that Zymon broke off the top of his patella last week. He had surgery to remove the piece and is now in the [...]

Greetings! We have been in Boise for a month now and am loving it! Yesterday I jumped several horses, taught a few lessons, ran home from the barn and rode my bike to a food event. That is my kind of day! Thank you for making it happen. Now, thinking about how to keep this [...]

I am at “home” in Boise tonight with my own internet, my own computer and a full barn of horses at Pierce Park Stables. I am starting to feel like I know where some things are. Just not sure anything is where it should be! Big News! I have a fun committee! A few of [...]

October, really?
October 13, 2011 – 12:49 am
Fall is here. McCall has had it’s first snow. Horses have been clipped. Even as I type this I don’t believe it. One day it is uncomfortably warm and the next day it is fall, in Idaho that means winter is on your heels. It is time that I am truly wondering about my wisdom [...]
Always there
September 30, 2011 – 11:40 pm
From time to time, people tell me, “lighten up, it’s just a horse,” or, “that’s a lot of money for “just a horse”. They don’t understand the distance traveled, the time spent, or the costs involved for “just a horse.” Some of my proudest moments have come about with “just a horse.” Many hours have [...]
