Life is certainly a box of chocolates....

Well....everyone seems to have a blog these days and I began to think that maybe I should have one, too!  I got to thinking about what I'd want to write about and what to blog about.


Well, I love my horses and I love to workout.  Perfect....well...I don't know.  Well, I decided to focus on life with horses and add some personal content about my fitness and life in general.


Life with horses is almost like life with kids.  Every day is different and they really do bring you lots of joy.  Sometimes they bring you lots of stress.  Sounds a lot like kids, doesn't it?


Anyway, I have 2 horses.  Frankie is a 18 year old retired Thoroughbred.  He raced until he was 9 and I got him soon after.  Tonka is a 6 year old Mustang (I just found out recently that he's 6).  I thought he was 5 or 6 when I got him about 5 years ago from someone off the race track.  

Poor Tonka got stuck in a gate.  Not sure how he did that...but he likes to nest and he nested in his shed and well...I can only assume that he rolled and got stuck.  It's been a long couple months trying to get him back to health.  It makes me so sad to see him hurt so much.

Frank is doing better than this year than he has in the last few.  He's thriving at the new farm, which is awesome. He looks awesome.  But, he's seeming to like to charge the gate to get free to enjoy the luscious grass...


I love to ride Frank bare back while he grazes on the lush grass.

Well...we're not eating lush grass here, but this is a great picture of my spoiled baby.

I grew up around horses.  My mom is trainer, my grandfather was a trainer and the man that raised me was also a trainer.  So, horses are most definitely a part of life.

Boy, that's a skinny pony.  But that's me.  

Anyway...this is the start to my blog.  I'm not sure how often I'll post...I just know that it may be a lot of fun to cover some ground.  Maybe meet some new friends and gain some knowledge.
