E came out to the barn yesterday to try Johnny and she liked him! He's scheduled to ship up to school this weekend provided that I can get his shoes put on in time. I'm so excited! Johnny wasn't as good as I would have liked him to be (he hadn't been ridden in 3 days) but E jumped him great and I think that was the final clincher. I'm really sad to leave Emmy at home but also excited to have John here :)
In and out of class today until 4pm and then an IHSA meeting at 7:20pm! Woohoo!!
Peace.Love.Ponies.

WELCOME
Hi and welcome to Dancing Hooves!
Dancing Hooves started in 2009 when I was a college student as a place for me to chronicle my equestrian adventures. This blog was originally centered around my 1993 Standardbred gelding Walk The Line ("Johnny"). Since that time, Dancing Hooves has seen many more adventures with all five of the horses that I've owned over the years, including Emmy's Last Dance ("Emmy" - 1987 TB mare), High Joe Silver Away ("Gus" - 2005 AQHA gelding), Take Me I'm Cool ("Cool" - 2004 AQHA gelding) and MRF Voyager ("Gimli" - 2014 Miniature Horse). Currently, Emmy, Cool and Johnny are the horses that will be most featured in this blog.
After a long stint as a professional USEF "A" circuit groom, barn manager, and finally as a Vet Assistant, I'm now working a full time job as a stay at home mom to my first child. I'm a DIY amateur on a budget just trying to muddle my way through the housewife horse life! This blog follows my journey with my horses as well as a little insight into living the equestrian mom life.
Any questions? Feel free to ask!
