As many of you know this is the first time I'm bringing along a young horse from the start. Obviously with the help of a trainer and professionals, but this is my first in-depth experience at young horse training.  I've shared a lot of the successes I've had with Zellie, but I've gotten quite a few comments about sharing more of the journey. So, here's another installment on that journey. This time titled, "Expectations & Frustrations."

I haven’t cleaned a stall since Whit was born.

Rumba loves retired life and honestly prefers to be out. The few times we had poor weather, Wayne took care of the farm while I was with the baby.

Can an adult amateur equestrian be a brand ambassador? The short answer is yes and no.

This age-old question can ruffle some feathers and you may hear many different opinions about adult amateur equestrians (as defined by US Equestrian) and being a brand ambassador.
