horse show photos!!

I am going to bombard you with horse show photos from the weekend today! I finally got them edited last night & there are a few that I just love!!  

I will admit that this is probably my favorite photo from the weekend & probably one of my favorite all time photos. I just love all of the ribbons on Limb & that I am truly smiling in this one!!

 

my oh my...yes I do still exist!!

yes I am still alive for those who are wondering!
I have been a bit MIA over the last week because of our horse show that has consumed my life from Wednesday on. I still am not back to complete normal life yet but getting there. it was a long week/weekend!
we had a fabulous show but in some ways I am glad it is over!
they make for really long days with super early mornings.

a few photos from the past few days!
hopefully I will catch back up soon!

instagram repost from one of my sponsors!

my oh my....

it feels like I fell off of the face of the earth here in blogland!!
and well I guess I kinda did. my life last week was consumed by a huge event here in Lexington. the Rolex Kentucky Three Day Event was last week/weekend & out here where I work so I was consumed working that. it was fun & we had great weather but very busy. I love it but 12-14 hour days means no internet/blogging! here are a few photos for you guys... even though I was so busy I didn't get to see a horse the entire weekend...well maybe 2 reining horses friday!!  

 

 

this week is Derby & moving. lots going on this week. I also scored a new sponsor with my own riding career last weekend so that is very exciting!   and yes I did cut 6 inches off my hair so now its just at my collarbone... maybe I can get a good photo soon :)  

five on friday!

yeahhhhh Friday!! however, once again, it is supposed to rain some, but at least it is warm!  sorry to all of you for my lack of posting recently. with all of this stress going on I really haven't had much time!   1. moving. well it looks like we have found a place to move all of our horses and our training business to. we are taking our clients out on Saturday after the horse show to go look at it but I think on Monday it will be a done deal so we can begin moving everything. insert exhaustion now. there is so much stuff to move. my mom has been at the barn we are currently at for 28 years so you can imagine.   2. horse show! first show of the year is this weekend in the middle of all of this chaos! in some ways it is nice that it is in the middle of it to give us a break from all the stress but in some ways it adds to it. thank goodness we are going to have really nice weather this weekend! hopefully everyone has a good time & brings home nice ribbons!     3. capstone paper...  while we are talking about stress.... let's just add to it for a minute. my capstone paper to graduate from my master's program is due on Sunday. so let's just add that right on in there.. I will be so glad when this is over!   4. new neurologist & migraine medicine. I finally got an appointment with a neurologist on Tuesday about my migraines and the fact that they have gotten worse. I don't mind taking my imitrex when I have to but the fact that I get 9 pills and I am having 3-4 migraines per week isn't helping. my general doctor had tried another medication back in the fall as a daily preventative but it made me incredibly sick so we stopped that. let me tell ya. I LOVE this new lady! I have never had such an awesome doctor who explains everything so well. she explained all of the options & why at this moment she doesn't feel the need to do any scans. so now I am on Topamax. Topamax is a seizure medication that is approved for use in migraine patients as well and is well known for it and so far so good. I took my first one on Tuesday midday and then took one Wednesday morning. I have decided that how it effects me I am going to take it at night before I go to bed. I haven't had any major side effects but just the way my body is adjusting to it, I feel like that is the best option... so here is to hoping it works & so far I haven't had a migraine!   5. a few photos here are a few photos from the week :)  

 

 

tiny sneak peek from my engagement session I did on Sunday, once this weekend is over I will get these edited & share some with you!

I didn't get to update Sunday but it was a crazy busy weekend with the horse show! it was probably one of the best shows in a long time!
