horse updates

I took Murphy and loaded him up Sunday morning and trailered out for a lesson. And what a lesson! My abs—actually, scratch that, everything—feels really sore. (I mean, I also had a headache for about five days last week, so there’s that too lol.) I have 0 media except this picture I took after I got back. This is what happens when you are just out there doing your hobby all by your lonesome. Being a mom and owning your own farm is wonderful, but it also truly stinks sometimes

Life is exhausting, but horses are still what fill my cup

Life can be really exhausting and stressful but also BORING. Somehow we went (in about 2 days) from my bf sending me this ad to grabbing a couple friends and picking up both of them. It was quite literally the hottest day of the year and 3/4 of us threw up . Am I excited? You bet. Am I questioning if I’m living my best life or stupid? Yes. I’m so nervous and excited to ride Carolina (the Hanoverian). I am a big believer in riding more than 1 horse creates a much better rider!

Just did the same with my desk today. It's slightly overwhelming

This year is about underconsumption—making do with what we already have, maintaining what matters, and getting rid of the cheap, disposable stuff that adds clutter to our lives. I narrowed my goals down to the ones that will actually move the needle.

We hit 24 degrees F the last couple of days. Really early for us in KY to hit that cold this early. Which meant we were scrambling to get everything ready for the animals. Winter is another ballgame if you have livestock. Especially large animals. Horses wormed – check Cow shelter put out – check Fresh hay bales put out for everyone – check Blankets folded, organized and put on- check Hoses drained – fail. We have been scrambling so I just ran out of time. Thankfully the col

well life has been happening! I hate when people say "I've just been so busy" shut up it's a choice. But I've made a choice at home to be more present. The weather has turned to fall and it is such a mood and energy booster! Every evening I play outside with my toddler for hours, this past weekend we actually all went mountain biking together as a family. Life is hard, life is the best it's ever been. Instead of boring everyone with a million words I m just going to send my u
