About Me

Hey y'all! So this is the "about me" portion of the blog, so let's get to it. My name is Brandi, and here are the most important things to know about me: 1. I'm a Christ follower. 2. I love to ride and train horses. More specifically, I run barrels on a 13 year old Paint horse that I bought as a 2 year old. His name is Bud. I also own a cute, little (and by little I mean that she could probably be considered a pony) Quarter horse filly named Millie. 3. I like to make things. Belts, headstalls, bracelets, dog collars... pretty much anything that I see off of Pinterest and at trade days. 4. I Crossfit and love it! 5. I hate it when people ask me what kind of music I like to listen to, because I listen to a lot of different stuff and never know how to respond. 6. People who have known me a long time, are often shocked when they realize that I like baseball and that I don't chew gum. It grosses me out.

Gettin' an education

On Friday, I took Millie to Zaal Ranch in Collinsville to spend the next 30 days to get an education. I'm excited to see how she turns out after a consistent month of riding!

By now, if you haven't noticed, anytime I take Matt Dillon (my truck) and the trailer out for a spin, an adventure always awaits... 

The trip to Collinsville should only take 30 minutes tops. Well, on Friday, I was just cruising along, jammin' to whatever was on 106.1, when suddenly, BOOM!!  A tire on the trailer had a massive blowout!  To make things worst, or just awkward, the tread didn't just stay on the road.  It flew up and flopped across the windshield of the car behind me, which was following way too close, btw.

I slowed down and pulled over.  No big deal, when you have a blowout, you just change the tire. Except my spare was flat.  Great.   

This story continues for a few more hours, but I will just cut to the chase.  It was planned to meet at 4pm.  Matt Dillon, the trailer (minus a tire), Millie, and I finally arrived in Collinsville at 6pm.

Never a dull moment 😃

But wait, there's more...  I have been battling a cough for 2 weeks. Saturday I finally broke down and went to a doctor. Turns out I have pneumonia. Lovely...
