Quality Time
Spent the day with Jeff and the pets. I had a wonderful ride on Ace, Jeff got to go fishing. We ended the day with dinner date night.
Confidence
As a woman I sometimes struggle with confidence, as a person with fibromyalgia I struggle a lot with confidence when it comes to physical things. I don’t always know how my body will react and how it will affect me…like my spring crazy horse. After a winter with several injuries on my part I was not able to ride as consistently as I wanted with Ace. When I went to the barn yesterday to ride my sweet fuzzy horse, I was…
Out of Steam
I spent the day shuttling rabbits to our friends barn for her to watch while we sell our house. Dixie did remain with us since she has a brand new litter. Olive went with me today to be my copilot, which she did a great job of. I stopped to get gas and stopped again for food at sonic on the way. While we were waiting for our food Olive suddenly realized the car was full of rabbits… excellent observation…
In a perfect world…
In a perfect world Jeff and I would be sitting in our great room on our super comfy couch with a roaring fire watching a epic movie. Our dogs would be splayed out on the hardwood floor in front of the fireplace, with kitties scattered roosting on the beams of our log cabin. Outside it would be gently snowing those huge beautiful flakes of snow. Our open kitchen would be filled with the smell of pot roast cooking and apple…
Horses are good for your soul
It has been a very stressful week for various reasons. I have also been extremely busy and have been unable to see my horse. I went out this morning and spent some quality time with him. Ace is always up to something and he was full of love and personality. He listened to all of my complaints about life and it was so calming to just brush him. I am very thankful for Ace and often don’t know what I…
Families
You find all kinds of wonderful families in unlikely places. I was lucky enough to be able to buy a horse about a year and half ago. I never would have imagined that this horse would lead me to a wonderful family I never knew I could have. This is my barn family! Many of us go to the barn for many reasons, including exercise, therapy, stress relief, and companionship. I go to the barn for all of…
Ace
“No hour of life that is spent in the saddle is wasted.” ~Winston S. Churchill Yesterday I spent some quality time with Ace getting over a large hurtle for me. In a series of unfortunate events I have not been able to ride Ace consistently this fall and winter. I spent all of last winter and this past summer working with Ace at least 5 times a week to build our relationship and improve his behavior. We were…
Unconditional Love
“He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.” – Unknown You can see it in their eyes, the love they have and the the joy that you are alive. They greet you when you come home like its a party everyday. They watch your back…
Its all about the name!
Its time for you to meet all the members of Cacia Farms. We name our pets with nice strong good names and yet, that never seems to be what we call them daily. As our pets grow and their personalities shine they get many nicknames to match their personalities. Meet Aengus this is our border collie he comes from Ireland so we spelled his name the Irish way. We never call him Aengus. Aengus quickly became…
A Girl and Her Horse
I was going to write about how wonderful my thanksgiving was, which it was. I had planned to include a wonderful turkey brine recipe (we will get that up soon). Today calls for a different story. I sprained my right ankle very badly at the beginning of november. As luck would have it, it right ankle I was stuck at home and could not drive, not to mention the crutches or the giant boot I was supposed to wear. All…
