Here’s two videos of Bryn riding Laredo at Pine Hill courtesy of Terry Longoria. The first comes from a schooling day on February 24 of this year:

 
The second is from an eventing day on March 2. Bryn finished fifth place for the day.

You might have heard that we have a primary election here in Texas tomorrow. If you haven’t heard, then you need to get your hearing checked, as well as your vision, your Internet connection, and your TV reception. This primary is a bona fide Big Deal. It could put John McCain over the top […]

Yesterday I went to a gathering of Houston-area bloggers called Mama Drama con Queso II. I got to meet a lot of people I have been chatting with on Twitter, on Flickr, and on their blogs. It was a real good time.
In no particular order, I got to meet Jenny, Laura, Dog Nanny, Marc, Tracy, […]

One week ago tonight I took my first riding lesson since my accident. It was great fun, although it was a long, hot, sweaty lesson. The ground was too soggy to ride outside, so I had to ride in the indoor arena; even at 6 PM, it was still 93 degrees with high humidity. I […]

Busy day yesterday. Over at the Chronicle you can read about it.

I’m on my own this weekend while Wendy, Summer, and Bryn are on the road. Bryn is riding Laredo in the Summer Schooling Horse Trial at Meadow Creek Park near Kosse, Texas. Because Kosse is 4-5 hours away, Genna, Wendy, and the other parents decided to drive up on Friday. Competition begins on Saturday and […]

On the 20th of this month Bryn rode Laredo in a horse show at the W Bar S Horse Farm near Fulshear, Texas. Bryn and Laredo finished 8 out of 10 riders in their class, but earned a ribbon for riding clear (no falls, no refusals, no rails down) in the stadium jumping event. I […]

Madison on her horse Patience. Patience is the big mare I’ve been riding in my lessons, ever since Porsche decided she didn’t like me any more. Patience tends to “bend the wrong way” going around […]

Steve, DeDe, Kelly, and Erin came to visit us last week. They spent some time here at Pine Gulch, did some shopping in Houston, spent a day in Galveston, then went to San Antonio for a few days before coming back to Pearland on their way home. Here’s a few photos from their day on […]

Sunday the 4th we went to a “Schooling Horse Trial” at Pine Hill Equestrian Center in Bellville, Texas. Bryn had ridden in this type of event twice before at Pine Hill, but this was her first time to ride our quarter horse Laredo. We’ve had Laredo just over one year, and he’s been in training […]

Some people make fine furniture. Some build houses and other works of achitecture. Others sculpt.
Me? I build stuff for horses. More specifically, stuff for horses to jump over.
I few weeks ago I posted a photo of the flower box I’d built for Genna at DRTA. Here it is in place on her cross-country course:

 
This rolltop […]
