Another Wednesday, another slew of adorable Conrad pictures! It's supposed to get cold here next week, so maybe I'll get some pictures of Conrad wearing one of his sweaters soon! Until then, he's not dressed.

Chapeau
About six weeks after placing an order for a Charles Owen SP8, it arrived yesterday! I ordered from the UK because 1) COs are a lot less expensive there, even with the shipping included and 2) SPARKLY. I hadn't found the sparkly ones at any of the domestic and Canadian tack shops I browse online … Continue reading Chapeau
Sunny Skies
We actually had a few days of intermittent sunshine around here, although it has since started raining again. During one of those days, Eli and I schooled over fences. He still has some embellishments in between the fences, but he is gradually getting easier to get back under control. He is also gaining back some … Continue reading Sunny Skies
Trauma Void Helmet Review
I have been wearing a GPA First Lady to ride in for about 4 years. I have liked the fit and style, and of course the incredible ventilation. But the current recommendation is to replace helmets every 3-5 years, considering especially whether the helmet has been exposed to extreme temperatures. I suspect we have extreme … Continue reading Trauma Void Helmet Review
Tailored Sportsman IceFil Zip Top Review
Somehow, I have yet to review a sun shirt on the pages of this blog. I wear them frequently because I live in Texas. I have gravitated toward both EIS and Kastel, and think they are both excellent options. And then I bought a Tailored Sportsman sun shirt. (I know some people have serious reservations … Continue reading Tailored Sportsman IceFil Zip Top Review
Weenie Wednesday: Drying Out?
Could it be the rain will subside? Nope, it's still in the forecast. But so far the timing has worked out such that I have been able to walk Conrad on the weekends, mostly. Everything is so green and damp! I cannot wait for things to dry out and the air to get chilly because … Continue reading Weenie Wednesday: Drying Out?
Choosing a Lesson Outfit
Let me just stop any of you who don't care about clothes right here: don't bother reading this post. Okay, now that we've weeded out the party-poopers, let's all of us fashion hounds talk about choosing what to wear for a lesson. When I feel well-dressed, it really influences how much confidence I have, in … Continue reading Choosing a Lesson Outfit
Finally a Jump School!
My schedule was a little unusual over the weekend, such that I knew I wouldn't be at the barn Saturday morning. So I checked in with my trainer about schooling on Friday instead and that worked out great. Considering Eli had done very little work throughout September, we kept things simple. Organization was the day's … Continue reading Finally a Jump School!
Gimpy or Not?
Eli's been a bit stiff through his right hind ... I got a text from a working student on Sunday that Eli played hard, "had a ton of fun." He does that sometimes and it usually isn't text-worthy, so I was prepared to find a sandy, mud-covered gimp once I finally made it to the … Continue reading Gimpy or Not?
Weenie Wednesday
Can it just be sunny and 65 already! At least football is on again! Perhaps too early to say Texas is back yet, so I will just leave that question open for now. Look at all that water in a usually mostly dry creek bed. I take back the rain dance I did in … Continue reading Weenie Wednesday
