Every day with Manny is a good day, but June 2 was a fabulous day! Manny and I (with the help of my amazing sidekick Britney) did things that I expected to take a lot longer do get! But, we'll get to that in a bit! So, Britney and I headed out for the farrier … Continue reading Best Day Ever!
As most of you know, Manny has been in the field for a month and I haven't been able to ride him much do to behavioural issues. He would whinny every time we had him in the arena, he would just want to canter and canter on the lunge line, and wasn't listening very good … Continue reading The Day I’ve Been Waiting For!
On May 5th, Britney and I headed to the barn for a ride! I still don't know why I didn't think to see if Sally could help get me on him 6 months ago! Being able to go ride, not in lessons, is pretty cool! Anyhow, Manny wasn't in the barn so me and Britney … Continue reading The Field Adventure!
Last Friday, the 28, Britney and I headed out to the barn to see Manny. Since he is kicked out in the field as of April 25, I texted Sally earlier to see if she could bring him in. Then I had an idea! Now, I haven't been able to ride in a while so … Continue reading Third Ride in the Corvette!

I was the recipient of one of their fabulous Schleese Infinity saddles. On March 17, Manny and I had our fitting with Natalie Sauner who is a Saddlefit Technician. I am beyond … Continue reading A Saddle Fit for a Para Dressage Queen
For this to make sense, we have to go back in time. About two months ago, when Manny was on a higher dose of Previcox my mom and I were out at the barn. I was free lunging him like I did many times before. He was over by the door with mom from cantering … Continue reading Overcoming Obstacles
Today marks 6 months that I have owned Manny! I know right?! It's crazy how fast it went! 6 months ago, Manny was not rideable. His SI joint was a problem and he was overweight and not very happy. There were times that I was afraid that he wouldn't get to where he is now. … Continue reading Time Flys!
Britney and I went to see Manny on the 21, 22, and 28! On the 28 he was amazing! Tina worked on him on the 27th and that seemed to help him out a lot! On the 21, he was a bit of a basket case at first! Britney lunged him before I did anything … Continue reading Manny, the Amazing!
We've had quite a busy month, Manny and I! Let me catch you up! On the 8th, Manny had a dentist appointment. So now, when we do teach him to smile he will have pearly whites instead of teeth that are disgusting! I really want to work with him on smiling! I've tried everything I … Continue reading Lesson Time!
This is the post I've been waiting to write! This is the story of the day my life changed. This is the day that my life was completed. This is the story of how Manny became mine! For our story to make sense, I have to take you back to the clinic I did with … Continue reading How One Day and One Horse Changed My Life Forever
