We all love the Budweiser Clydesdales, with many people (not me though) tuning in to the biggest football game of the year JUST to catch a glimpse of these beautiful creatures.
In this fantastic article from Chronicle of the Horse, the history of the Budweiser Clydesdale brand is outlined. … Continue Reading
I was looking through older posts and came across these beautiful pictures my friend Eliz took last year of Serenade and I. I had to share :)

Helmets are of the utmost importance… and major kudos to the USEF (United States Equestrian Federation) for recently amending the rule regarding helmets – effective March 1, 2011, helmets will be required for all dressage riders in national level competition.
The rider mentioned in the above article, Courtney King, suffered a fractured skull when a young horse she was schooling slipped and fell this past March.
I am definitely just about OVER this crazy Tennessee winter… cold, ice, snow, and worst of all, MUD.
Repeat with me… “just a little while longer, just a little while…”
One thing that’s making the winter slightly more bearable is keeping up with proper horse hoof care.
This just in:
Superstar stallion “Moorlands Totilas” is a daddy! The first foal to this champion was born just this past Sunday.
“Moorlands Guinevere” is a beautiful bay filly. Congrats to Toto, Moorlands Stables and very busy mommy – “Moorlands Sajouti.”
Moorlands Totilas (nicknamed “Toto”) is a 10-year-old black Dutch Warmblood stallion, who many people are calling the horse of the century.
Wonder why? Look at him!
Toto won all 3 Gold medals in the World Equestrian Games, the first horse ever to do so.
…and wondered exactly what those glowing descriptions of the horse and his behavior actually means?

There are tons (no pun intended) of types of bedding available for use of stalled horses.
…and the list goes on.
When trying to decide what type of bedding is going to be best for you AND your horses, it’s important to educate yourself, and make your decision based on cost, time spent cleaning, waste and most importantly how healthy and comfortable it is for your horse.
…to our friend “Smoke” whose Mommy (Brittany) and soon-to-be Daddy (William) are getting married and moving to Kentucky!
We’ve shared quite a bit of time and lots of memories with this sweet Tennessee Walkerboy… and he will surely be missed!
We do, we do!
Actually, as you can see from the look on Eliza’s face, it may not be the MOST fun thing she’s ever done, but it is definitely a necessity! Yesterday, Eliza and I spent a good 2 hours soaping and scrubbing…
Though tiring, the feeling of accomplishment afterwards and enjoying clean tack is great!
