horses

I know, I know, I need another horse like I need another hole in my head, but there's something special about this guy... His name is Captain Crane and he's an 8 year old Thoroughbred straight off the track.

KTBS.com - Shreveport, LA News, Weather and Sports I can't even describe how sad this story makes me. I know the guy who owns River Point. Back in the day my brother and I lived in the townhouses (way back in the day).

I hate that this has to happen but these babies need new homes! If you know of any horse people looking to add another four legged friend, tell 'em to check this out this Friday!

Miniature horses are probably one of the funniest animals, hands down. There's just something about seeing the things in a shrunken down version that gets us every darn time. Honestly-- can you look at a tiny foal without cracking a smile? No way!

Can I get a hearty amen on this one?!? I have had pretty much every single conversation presented in this video. Can I come ride your horse? No, he's in training. Is he safe for kids? Can my kids come see them aka climb all of them like a jungle gym and jump out from hiding places trying to get people killed...

Last night at the NLEA board meeting at Lucky Palace (my fav!), the subject of yoga for equestrians came up. Now, I know a bunch of my dressage buddies get together on Tuesday nights for yoga/pilates to help improve their riding and health, but this is taking it one step further... It's yoga on horseback!

I know, I know, I've been slacking on my Redneck Dressage blogs but I found this today and just had to share! I promise I'll get back to writing soon!

Writing Redneck Dressage has been fun! Especially with the timing falling around the Olympics. My Pas De Deux partner, Ann Switalski, sat down at the keyboard and penned her own chapter. We may actually get a book out of this! Check out Ann's The Stupidest Woman to Buy a Horse!

Watch and tell me you don't agree! Especially when you see Bent Jensen do it for real. And Stephen Colbert thinks dressage riders are stuffy!

Ahhh! Redneck Dressage has become my new passion. A creative outlet if you will. I hope you're enjoying them as much as I enjoy writing them!

I am having so much fun with my Redneck Dressage installments. But it seems I need to be careful. One of my 'cowgirl' friends reminded me to go easy on Western riders because they tend to carry guns. Yikes! I forget that you can put more than water in saddle bags!

I'm on a roll! I'm not sure if I even have the ability to write for cereal boxes, but I'm having fun with Redneck Dressage. Check out Party Trois - Trail Riding:)
