This month has been packed full of pet portraits. In a past post, I mentioned these portraits and apparently the Christmas season has led to my little side business taking off! I am very grateful, but it means my life has been on hold while I complete all these orders! Work, ride my horse, draw,…

Instead of what I still need to accomplish, I…
I have been looking for different ways to use my GoPro. The farm I board at has lots of little cross country jumps scattered around the property, so thought it would be fun to try a GoPro video riding outside. An added bonus is that riding on grass is good practise for a Hunter Derby…
I have wanted a GoPro for a LONG time now. I finally bit the bullet and purchased one recently. I wish I had thought about this earlier in the summer, as it would have been fun to use it while tubbing the Elora Gore (a story for another post) or while zip lining. Alas, that will have…
