A homegrown heart is one that longs to sleep with the windows open. One that longs to smell the fresh cut fields, Ride in the afternoon - bareback, and barfoot. A homegrown heart likes to turn the music up, grow something, talk to God and wear boots, because they are better. These hearts go fishing, play with dogs and play with horses. Homegrown hearts give it their all, everytime. They are true to themselves, and true to those around them. They have deep roots. But more important, a homegrown heart LOVES WITH ALL ITS STRENGTH.

On the Lunge Line

I can't ride, and I can't run. So what does that leave? A lunge line, a crupper, and a Pessoa system. YAY! Sorry horsey... time to get your butt kicked, and build some serous muscle! The good news is, I'm way smarter than everyone thinks, so I don't have to buy a $300 pessoa system to work topline. Instead, I'll rig one up with some soft rope and a cinch cover. I have a crupper on loan, and I just bought a sircinlge for $5 at the Canby tack sale. So bring it!


On the bad side, I can't run, so if my horsey decides to flip out and misbehave, I'm gunna just have to drop the lines - which will teach him to misbehave and be rewarded. So here goes nothing. Any one want to come ride my horse to keep him in shape for me??
