Well time to get caught up. Last week's was a good start to all this, but maybe now it's time to get this figured out.

Three weeks ago was one of our most successful lunge sessions. Blue is a great horse especially when it comes to me learning things, she's very forgiving if I do anything wrong, which is great in a partnership.…

It's been a long time since I've written a blog on here, things have gotten crazy busy, but in a great way.  After a very long winter in Northern Ontario that had all of the residents thinking that maybe, just maybe it would never end, it did.  We still got snow on June 3rd, but it didn't stay!

I think this has alot to do with the fact that I have been riding once a week for the…

Wow... I don't think this is ever been heard of, a 31yr old who's never blogged? Sure I've done a few posts here and there on Facebook, and I think I dabbled in Myspace for a while, but I've never actually done a true blog. What is the standard for a blog? I'm not sure. But I'm planning on sharing what I can to help Plus sized riders get in the saddle and stay there. I'll use this area to compile websites and resources that plus riders here on Barn Mice can check out. My first order of…
