Or Not

Without getting overly personal or detailed, let's just agree that 2016 is a shitty-ass year on a lot of levels, and every time I think something will work for me, I get blindsided with something else dumb and out of my control.

blinded by his own shine
Yeah so that happened again.

I now have a lot of free time and no money, so we're definitely not going to a show this weekend or for the foreseeable future. I'm trying to see it as an opportunity to fine tune things we need a lot of help with.
like braiding
or taking conformation shots
and cool dressage stuff
With any luck (don't hold your breath), I'll be back to work shortly. In the mean time, how great does my horse look?

  2. I am so sorry that 2016 is not your year. This too shall pass. But it sucks while you're in it. On the bright side, your horse looks great.

  9. I had that happen to me. Twice. I got to spend lots of time playing pretty pony and enjoying having the barn to myself while everyone else was at work. It will all work out - plus, you could always start a side gig buying and selling used tack! (I've never commented before, but I look forward to reading your posts and seeing your pictures every day!)

  13. Been there. Done that. Got a couple of tee shirts. It blows. Having a pony helps. Being awesome is even better. Keep being awesome, and always use more yarn. ;) <3

  16. I've got my fingers crossed for you that things improve soon. Loving those dutch braids and I really need to start practicing braiding. At the very least I need to shorten/trim the pony mane soon!

  17. Ugh, that sucks. I am job hunting for a career now that I am graduated. It is seriously frustrating. A lot of the jobs that I feel qualified for EXCEPT that I don't have 5+ years of experience in a similar position...except that I have no chance of getting that experience because nobody will hire me!
