Hope

Hope. There seems to be so little of it in these crazy times that are 2020, especially if you listen to the journalists or social media. But I disagree, because I believe that hope is a choice. The little guy in the photo above is proof of that. Meet G Atrevido. Born in a textbook … Continue reading Hope →

Jaimie – a Happy Story

March 2019 15 months later Some of you may remember when we brought Jaimie home to get him out of a difficult situation. He was scared, scarred, skinny, wormy and a bit of a mess. See top photo. What a difference a year makes. Good nutrition, good fences, dental and vet care, a stable environment, … Continue reading Jaimie – a Happy Story →

Paralysis by Analysis

I can't take credit for the 'Paralysis by Analysis' phrase and I also can't remember where I heard it either. But how true is it? A group of wonderful women who train their own horses were talking about self-sabotage strategies that keep us from moving forward. Overthinking, or paralysis by analysis, was one of the … Continue reading Paralysis by Analysis →

Corona Blog

Photo courtesy of Dianne Carr I'm taking a break from book chapters to weigh in on the current craziness the world is dealing us. (I'm struggling with this particular chapter anyway, so a break is good.) As if having cancer isn't confronting enough, now with the Corona virus the reality is that if I need … Continue reading Corona Blog →

Chapter Two: The Beginning of the Beginning

My favourite red sundress Before I go further into the beginning of the end, I guess I'd better start at the beginning of the beginning which, ironically, was only twelve kilometres (seven miles) up the road from chapter one. I didn't plan it that way; when I left home at the age of eighteen, I … Continue reading Chapter Two: The Beginning of the Beginning →

Chapter One: The Beginning of the End

17 October 2013. Barely into the Australian spring, bushfire season was still weeks away yet there had already been one fire within a few kilometres of us. We lived on a dead-end road and already I'd had to evacuate Rumble, my horse, until the fire was out. I was on edge, even though summer wasn’t … Continue reading Chapter One: The Beginning of the End →

The Book

Yes, I'm still here. Yes, I've been slack about posting. Sorry. But never fear, I have a plan to help me be on here more often and also to finish my half-written book at the same time. But first, an update. Last time I wrote, things weren't looking too great, but the doc is a … Continue reading The Book →

Betwixt and Between

Moments make life! (Photo courtesy of Rita Gallaway) I've been a bit absent for a while and I tossed back and forth whether to write this post but decided to go with Brené Brown and her power of vulnerability. It's a bit heavy, though, so if you're not in the right place for that, feel … Continue reading Betwixt and Between →

A Powerful Thing

Here is Rumble taking responsibility for ending the lesson by confiscating my whip. Apparently it was time for his lunch. A rider I know, let's call her Debbie, goes through horses faster than I go through coffee. Well ok, maybe not THAT fast... Anyway, she buys a lovely horse but within months or sometimes weeks, … Continue reading A Powerful Thing →

The Dreaded Question…

  Someone came to visit the other day and as I was introducing them to my horses, she asked the dreaded question: "So...what do you do with them?" *sigh* THAT question. But I can't point fingers because I used to do the same thing; pigeon-hole riders into a specific discipline or style. "Oh, you're a … Continue reading The Dreaded Question… →
