The 2016 Recap


Well the second half of 2016 passed by without any blogging. Such is life sometimes, but here's the summary:

My husband was severely injured on the job, and I became a medical secretary/chauffeur/caretaker. He is still recovering, albeit slowly.

I have a new job - and it's the best job ever! I am working at the barn for my trainer.  =)   What started as an exchange of lessons for help turned into a real opportunity as her business expanded.

Keeping it colorful on a client horse, and cheesin' with the boss at a show!


I also help retrain and rehome ex-racehorses for the Thoroughbred Rehab Center. West Coast friends: I'm your new hookup for some really talented horses!

First ride on this mare - she was the first to get adopted from our group!


Hannah is doing wonderfully. She continues to be sweet and patient but also game and joyful. We both had a blast in our second horse trial together last fall. We have become a really good team.

  4. Oh my gosh, so sorry to hear about your husband. I've had two friends whose spouses had to become medical caretakers for them in 2016, and I've seen firsthand how hard it can be. I hope he makes a full recovery, and I'm glad to see you blogging again!
