Home Again!

So glad to be home. Had a whirlwind weekend with my family in Lancaster, PA. I love it down in Amish country. The children had fun as always and though yesterday's weather was a beast, today was a beautiful day. Would have been a lovely day for riding! ;)

Hope Joey was a good boy and he and the girl Stacie that my trainer suggested I have ride him for me while I was away had fun together. I can't wait to go to the barn and see him tomorrow! I went to a tack shop in PA and bought goodies for him!

So happy to hear you had a good time, even if it meant spending money.; August 22, 2011 at 9:39 PM

My Quotes:

“Riding a horse is not a gentle hobby, to be picked up and laid down like a game of Solitaire. It is a grand passion. It seizes a person whole and, once it has done so, he will have to accept that his life will be radically changed.”

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

"A good horse is worth more than riches."
- Spanish Proverb

"Feel the Fear - Do it Anyway"
- Susan Jeffers

RIDE FOR HER!
Somewhere behind the rider you've become,
The trainers who pushed you,
The people who believed in you,
The long hours of schooling,
The falls you've taken,
The ribbons you didn't win,
The tears and broken bones,
And the horses you've given your heart to,
Is the little girl who fell in love with the sport
And never looked back.
Ride for her!
