Precautions to Keep You Safe When NJ Governor Murphy announced that many recreational facilities, including horseback riding facilities, have reopened (with restrictions) as of Friday, May 22nd, I’m pretty sure I wasn’t the only one that jumped for joy!

There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.

Typically, my job is incredibly fun and enjoyable, and my sessions are light-hearted and full of laughter and joy. But remember sessions and goodbye sessions are a bit different. This was my final session before the mandated stay-at-home order in New Jersey began on March 22nd – it was during this session on the evening […]

If nothing else, the stay-at-home mandate is forcing me to catch up with blogging! The procrastination is real – this session is from last summer.

So I wrote this blog post a while ago, right after our portrait session. Sadly, I have to write a little addendum now. I received some incredibly sad news on the morning of July 29th – Mia became suddenly, gravely ill that morning and unfortunately, nothing could be done to help her and she passed […]

So the other day, Facebook freaked out and user were unable to view photos/images while using Facebook. Subsequently people freaked out over Facebook freaking out, and then everyone was just panicked, and that’s never a good time. Because think about it – what if Facebook and Instagram freaked out – permanently – and you lost […]

So, I have a thing for leopard appaloosas. They’re just so dang PRETTY! Like every single horse is beautiful in its own way, of course, but leopard appaloosas are just stunning. This guy, Tibbs, was no exception – he looks like a painting! He is such a gentleman – his mom Lindsay does mostly trail […]
