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 whileContinue reading “Dear Blog: 8/10/2020”

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 andContinue reading “Dear Blog: 7/25/2020”

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.Continue reading “Dear Blog: 7/24/2020”
Just a Season
Whenever I struggled through a time in my life, my mother would remind me, “it’s just a season of life.” I used to dislike this phrase. Sometimes life just sucks and that’s all there is to it. As I grew up I began to understand these words better. Although I remind myself of these wordsContinue reading “Just a Season”

First off, Happy Father’s Day to all the wonderful fathers out there! I was on my way home from a get together with my family when I realized I have posted any new blogs for over a week! This doesn’t mean I haven’t worked on any, in fact, I have a really big blog postContinue reading “Dear Blog: 6/21/2020”
Dear Blog: 6/5/2020
Yesterday Cash had a trim that was much needed. It tends to vary how often I have the farrier out, but usually 6-8 weeks between trims. I’ve struggled to keep Cash’s hooves thrush free for a month or so, but was able to clear it up last week with Thrush Rid. I applied it aContinue reading “Dear Blog: 6/5/2020”
Requiring Respect, Earning Trust
Hey there! If you’ve been keeping up with Cash and I, you probably know he hasn’t quite been himself lately. He’s been spooky on the trails, a mixture of buddy and barn sour, and pretty disrespectful. I’ve been slowly working through each issue with him, but have been feeling especially frustrated with his lack ofContinue reading “Requiring Respect, Earning Trust”
Bath Day at the Barn
When I bought Cash in August 2019, he had a whole boatload of skin issues! I would spot bathe certain areas with medicated shampoo, and Cash would dance around impatiently. He wasn’t horrible during bathing, but he couldn’t hold still and constantly stepped on the hose. I made excuses and ultimately never gave him aContinue reading “Bath Day at the Barn”
Toughing the Trails
Hi there! Okay, the title of this blog makes it sound much more exciting that it really is…but go with it. Lol. The other day Cash and I saddled up and went exploring. Lately, Cash has been extremely buddy sour to our steer, Itty Bit. The rain has definitely not helped! For almost a weekContinue reading “Toughing the Trails”

Rain, rain, go away, come again anoth- just kidding, don’t come back at all. I’m not sure how the weather is where you live, but we’ve had nothing but rain for days! It’s actually been a huge setback for Cash and I. I finally felt like we were getting somewhere…he was doing better leaving theContinue reading “Dear Blog: 5/19/2020”
