About a month ago, I saw an ad for a Doug Payne clinic being held at Oldfields School. I knew that I had to do whatever it took to be able to go. I’ve always wanted to ride with Doug, but I have never seen any clinics with him nearby. Oldfields is about 30 minutes …

As we continue into the depths of winter after the holidays, it can be difficult to stay motivated with several numbingly cold months still looming ahead. I have been trying to get in as many rides outside as possible before the ground freezes- and more so before I start losing motivation to keep riding. While …
It’s the time of year that most people associate with being thankful. But it’s also fox hunting season! I just went on my first foxhunt the day after Thanksgiving, and it made me realize how thankful I am for what I have. I had no idea how Murphy would react when we arrived and tacked …

Fair Hill XC day never feels long enough. No matter how tired I am or how much my feet hurt from walking all day, I always leave feeling like I want more! The day was filled with sunshine, crowds, shopping, and tailgating- all perfect pairings to the main action: the horses. There are few other …

I had a lot of fun watching and taking photos at what Plantation takes pride in calling, "the Best. Event. Ever." Other than the heat, it was a great event as always with something for everyone. From shopping, eating, drinking, to entertaining, it's an event for the whole family. Not to mention it's a stunning …
I got to cross off one more activity from my (lengthy) bucket list: to ride Murphy on the Heritage Rail Trail close to where I live. The 21-mile trail runs from the Mason Dixon line, near my home, to York, PA. One recent Sunday we made a spur of the moment decision to take him …
Recently I got the opportunity to be an extra in a movie called Hope’s Legacy. Filmed in Maryland, it features eventing and is a sequel to the movie Christmas Ranch. If I’m being completely honest with you, I haven’t seen that movie either, so I’m not entirely sure what it’s about (even after having the …
I know what the average eventer reading this title must be thinking: “Yoga?? I can barely reach down to zipper my boots!” Trust me, that was my first thought, too. One of my good friends and fellow eventers, Taylor, has always wanted to try yoga, and when I said “sure” to her invitation of going …
For us eventers, the Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event truly is the best weekend all year. Each year, there are special moments that make memories for a lifetime, and I am so grateful for the chance to go watch top eventers at America’s only 5* event. This year, we missed some of my favorites (Michael …
