Welcome to my blog

I have spent my life dreaming... dreaming about horses and being able to connect with these beautiful creatures. While life circumstances have often interfered and kept me from pursuing my dream, my passion never waned. So this blog is about following my dream and the great adventures I have along the way. I am dedicating it to my true love Indigo (aka Blu) a 16.3H Oldenburg gelding who is trained through I-2.

Enjoyment in every ride

Tired and feeling just a bit sore from yesterday's ride I had to push myself to go to the barn. I just did not want to leave the comfort of home, go out in the rain and feel the dampness seep into my bones. Blu was waiting and I knew he would probably be in because of the down pours that kept creeping back into the day. Off I went and as predicted Blu was waiting in his comfy over bedded stall with a nice snack size pile of hay laying at his feet. He seemed quite content but thrilled to have his mom pay him a visit. There are treats in my pocket after all...

He just feels better with each ride. He is strong and he is much more uphill in his balance. My trainer sees it and the barn manager commented today on the improvements she has seen Blu make in the past month. Yes, he has yet another fan club. How can you not enjoy every moment with this wonderful horse?

We are preparing for our first show on Memorial Day weekend with a Ride-Critque-Ride this coming weekend. We will do 2nd-3 and see what we have. I am exhausted just thinking about the week to come but it is filled with anticipation as I take my relationship with Blu to the next long awaited level.
