  Hey all!  Just wanted to share some adorable photos with you of Dot’s Christmas photo shoot from yesterday! I HIGHLY recommend you try with your horse, it was so much fun and the results are perfect!! I gotta say, it made me love Dot even more!!! (If that’s even possible) Look at the end for the products used for the shoot and how I pulled it off! Obviously, these are only my favorites from the shoot! It required a lot of rapid-fire thumb work and plenty of sorting through to find my favorites! There were quite a few that look like this..  I basically just put her bridle on (over the Santa hat), put on the rein covers and noseband cover, and spot groomed her. Then I found somewhere with good lighting and a background I didn’t mind and threw the reins over her head!  She did try to follow me, but I found that if I got someone to yell, clap, or kiss at her, she would look in their direction long enough for me to snap some rapid fire pictures!  I also found that ...

Hi everyone! If you are a horse lover like me, I bet you often come up with random breed mixes in your head and say “I need to find a horse like this right now” lol Anyway, that happened recently to me and I went straight to google, then Dream Horse.

 So I was gone for basically two weeks, and I only rode like twice in between. The two rides in between were AMAZING and I felt so good, I jumped 2’3 easy peasy, it was great. I got back and rode and for the most part it was super good.  But then all the sudden, on my lesson on Saturday the 4th, I completely was confidence-less. It felt like I hadn’t rode in forever (in reality I had rode twice that week), and I could barely jump. I also was making Dot duck out of jumps because of this. We ducked out of like three or four jumps, even though if I had rode with Dot, she could have easily jumped them.

There was a huge storm rolling in, and I was not jumping anything! Dot would canter up and I would practically ASK her to stop in front of the jump. She didn’t care at all about the storm or anything, ...
