2020: That’s a Wrap!

Hey there! First, I want to apologize for falling off the face of the earth… I have been taking some time to focus on Cash, enjoy life, spend time with friends, family, and alone. I’ve taken time to reorganize and prioritize my goals with Cash.  From May to date, Cash I have covered 323 miles!

Our First Horse Camping Trip

Hello! I know I’ve been a little absent, but I’ve been taking some time to simply enjoy my horse. Cash and I went on our first camping trip together this weekend! It was only one night, but it was a great way to get our “hooves” wet and see if camping is for us.  We

Cash’s Little Brother: Eeyore the Bunny Rabbit

Eeyore is stealing the spotlight for once! Many of you probably didn’t even know Cash had a “little brother”!  I’ve had Eeyore for about a year. I had stopped into a local PetSmart to just look at what was available to be adopted through Fort Wayne Animal Care & Control and impulsively decided I needed

New Experiences and New Friends

A friend of mine had been recently looking for a good minded trail horse to add to her herd. Of course, I jumped at the opportunity to help her horse shop! I may not be buying Cash a barn mate anytime soon, but that doesn’t keep me from looking at every sale ad in the

A Weekend of Trail Riding

Hey there! I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to trail ride both Saturday and Sunday this past weekend. I wanted to jump on and share about our experiences with two very different rides.  Saturday we loaded up and went to The Bluffs in Michigan. I went with around eleven other people, which is

The other day I took Cash out for a cool evening ride. It was my first ride after returning from a quick trip to Florida. I was only gone three days, but I now believe geldings hold grudges just as mares do. Lol. He managed to make a huge mess out of his hay while

Does Your Saddle Actually Fit?

If you’re anything like me, saddle fit is something that you aren’t 100% comfortable with. Every time I tack up, I evaluate the fit, fuss with placement, and worry about my saddle pad. After each ride I check Cash’s sweat patterns to ensure proper fit. Usually, his sweat patterns are just fine! I’m always relieved,

Cash and I loaded up the trailer and headed out on a trail ride together this morning! It was beautiful and Cash behaved perfectly – not a single spook!We only spent a little over an hour riding due to the heat. It ended up being around 3.5 miles. The trails consisted of open fields and

Cash and I started off our weekend with a great evening! First, he got a hoof trim and had his front shoes reset. I opted to keep his back hooves bare since there is minimal chipping despite all the riding we do. After his hooves were all spiffed up, we headed out for a ride.

Cash and I rode for around 80 minutes, 14 of which were straight trotting. Thanks to Equilab we’re able to track the time spent in each gait. I decided we would work on building endurance for the remainder of the summer. I checked his heart rate before we started (36), after a long stretch of
