Half-chaps, a purchase I can live with….

November 16, 2009

Good morning. Our most recent purchase in the never-ending-drain-on-my-bank-account known as riding, is a pair of Dublin half-chaps. This acquisition was made at our local tack shop. Usually I would order out for this type of thing, but time was of the essence. Our hand-me-down pair of tall boots blew at the seams, and fixing […]

Friday funny & food for thought…

November 13, 2009

I attended the PRSA International Conference in San Diego this week.  Wow, my brain practically exploded, listening to where the PR/marketing and advertising world is headed, in the opinions of those present.

November 3, 2009

I’m sick. And whiny. Caught something evil from the boy. So while I’m here feeling sorry for myself, here’s a report from this weekend’s National Horse Show held in Syracuse, New York.

Barn Halloween Party
