Back in the Saddle

Having two hip surgeries in one year does something to you...and adding in a young green horse doubles the trepidation.  I've been on Mata Hari a few times before but I actually think I'm ready to start riding her a little more.  Not jumping.  Oh God no!  Just some dressage.  She's such a level headed little mare and if I ride after Madison goes, she's tired and quiet!

We get along well - she likes me.

Although she's still Madison's girl.

Betsy Blue!

For the holidays I decided to put these little goofy nail covers on my nails - something I NEVER do let alone polish them.  They were fun!

So imagine my delight when I got this fabulous knitted hat in the mail from my friend Betsy that totally matched my nails and even the sweater I was wearing that day! (Please forgive the awful selfie!)
