Some of you might be wondering how I can still ride horses while I’m in school, maybe some of you aren’t, but what I’m going to explain to you in today’s blog is a normal day for me. First I drag myself out of bed at 5:00 a.m. and start to get ready for school. My bus comes around 7:15 and I have to leave my house at 7:00. Don’t ask me why I get up so early but I…

On the Back of a Horse
Well, it’s been awhile since I’ve chatted with everyone after the Supreme Extreme Mustang Makeover (SEMM) in Fort Worth. What a rush! After returning from that event we had a lot of things to do to play “catch-up” back home as you might imagine after having been gone for nearly 10 days. The event was fantastic and we had so much fun participating in it. Both Viggo and Sparrow performed extremely well and Lauren and I were both very proud…
