Life here at Fly Over Farm has been interesting this past year. Last spring I realized a dream that has been in the making for more than 10 years. I hate cold weather, everyone who knows me knows this. Ever since we moved to Indiana, I have been scouring the real estate websites trying to […]
Equestrians. We cart full water buckets down the aisle, barely spilling a drop. We chuck bales of hay up and down. We throw muck tubs and wheelbarrows around like they are nothing. We can hold ourselves on a 1,200 pound animal using a combination of aids and our own core and arm and leg muscles. […]
As an adult amateur rider with a professional career, I’ve been a boarder nearly all my horsey life. My horses have stayed at a variety of farms as I moved around for jobs and what have you over the years. Come Christmas time, you’ll learn quickly just how serious your barn family is about the […]
As we gear up for the colder winter season, it’s a good time to take a look at your horse’s diet and make any adjustments that will help him weather the colder temperatures. As the cold sets in in many parts of the country, access to grass and fresh hay may be limited – and […]

Gratitude? So…do I just say I’m grateful for [insert something to be thankful for here], […]
How relatable is the phrase “Horse show debt is just a number”? Right? Can someone please tell our credit card companies that? Allow us to introduce our cheeky graphic tees. Don’t let their hilarious graphics fool you – we outdid ourselves with gorgeous fonts and super soft, textured heather fabrics. This trio of tees makes […]
After the completion of our first event earlier in the summer, Trainer convinced my to sign up for our first sanctioned event, Hagyard Midsouth Team Challenge. At the time, I was more focused on Morgan Grand Nationals. I was very excited at the prospect of another event, but wanted to take each show as it […]
The holiday season is almost here, if you can believe it. Managing horse costs on top of everything else, can be a daunting task come Christmas time. But generally speaking, equestrians are resourceful people. Here are a few ways you can cut costs and save around the holidays, while still maintaining your show schedule and […]
Makeup may or may not be of importance to athletes, particularly during competition or training.

Throughout the years, I have been asked how my makeup […]
