Tired of looking at properties for sale we decided to take a look at an ultimate property by driving about an hour north east to Newbern, North Carolina to see the Tryon Palace.
No… the pictures below are NOT Photoshop enhanced. The sky really was that pretty yesterday and the landscaping that green!

iMac and OS X Leopard are hot!
HorseGirlTV is going strong with lots of exciting new things coming and I’ve grown tired of working full-time on my adorable little 12″ Powerbook so I started shopping around for a desktop Mac the last 1.5 months. I’ve gone around and around about what, how big, how much RAM and what I really need verse really want. We can shop at the Marine Corp Exchange (AKA “the MCX”) buying tax free and fortunately for me MCX is an Authorized Apple Reseller offering most Mac products at $10 off the Apple Store prices SO… yesterday (and after much research) I bought myself a 24″ iMac! It’s, hands down, the nicest (and sexiest) machine I’ve had in my career! I spent the evening (note the wine glass) setting it up and we watched in 1920×1200 glory an episode of The Office at nbc.com finishing the night off with an iTunes rented Transformers. Did I mention this machine IS HOT!?!
Thanks to Charley for the push. As always you give good advice, a kind shoulder and inspire the tech geek in me!
Also pictured is my new orchid and in the background a couple of our herbs. Unfortunately you can’t see Ex’s interesting house plant but we’ll blog them later.
U-haul and packing… HorseGirlTV goes south!
There was much to do and we had amassed lots more stuff in the last 9 months than I’d thought! Much to my surprise, we nearly filled a 14 foot U-haul! Picollo was not too excited about the packing but then again, neither were we! Fueled by enough Starbucks even the biggest packing and moving job is nearly a piece of cake! North Carolina… here we come!
Picollo has a fancy new collar!
HorseGirlTV was welcomed back to our favorite tack store, Horse Country, today and allowed to shoot an episode with Jeff Ketzler from Dehner boots. Picollo got in the act this time and was welcomed into the store and gifted his first fancy leather collar! Yawning through his photo shoot this evening I wasn’t really able to get a good shot of it but you get the idea.
Tomorrow I shoot an episode with Stubben! I’m quite excited and honored to be able to interview some of the top companies in the industry this week!
Happy Birthday Mr. HorseGirlTV!
So Ex didn’t get a surprise party this year but he did get another pair of boots! This year not cowboy. Nope. This year they were dress boots! It was too mucky to car follow Old Dominion Hounds this morning but that didn’t stop us from going to Horse Country where Ex bought himself his first pair of breeches (and WAY nicer than any I’ve had in my years of riding, tehe). Marion gave Ex an awesome pair of boot pulls for his fancy previously new boots and, as always, it was awesome to get to see everyone there and just look around. I picked a second Rita Mae Brown book as I’m really enjoying her first fox hunting novel titled “Outfoxed” where we are introduced to “Sister Jane” and some of the great hound, horse and fox characters. I think Ex had a good day all and all. It was certainly relaxing to me to not have to work! Yahoo!
HMX-1! The President’s Helicopter!
I was one of ten lucky lottery winners from our Quantico Officers Spouses Organization to be selected to attend a tour of HMX-1. This is a serious high security place and they had to run a background check (or some such) on me just to make sure I qualified to “get in” and see the birds!
They showed us a video about HMX-1 and its history before taking us up to security to sign out our visitors badges and finally through the security door. We got to go up in HMX-1, walk around and sit in the VIP chairs! It’s stocked with Starburst candies, gum and some other treats and even has it’s own toilet in case someone needs to use it on the ever so short flights the President takes on it! An interesting tidbit, H stands for Helicopter, M stands for Marine, X stands for Experimental and the 1 because there is only 1 squadron of them! It was truly a once in a lifetime experience!
Old Dominion Hounds and Keswick Joint Meet
Lucky me was able to car follow for the Old Dominion Hounds and Keswick Joint Meet and what fun! A quick view of the fox at one point and there was beautiful views of the hounds and field throughout! I’ve received quite the influx of emails with questions about fox hunting or fox chasing (whichever you’d like to call it) and hopefully we will answer some of those questions in our episode on March 15th. Oh and they enjoyed the beautiful countryside but all the foxes were safe in their dens which is the usual! 🙂
I’ve been working non-stop but enjoying every minute of it and we’ve been approached by several top western riders and trainers about episodes! I’m very much looking forward pursuing western episodes and learning more about some of these fine successful western and AQHA trainers! Yahoo!
Thanks for watching!
My first fox hunting (fox chasing) experience
Nervous is a word I would use to describe how I felt this morning. Exciting and anxious would work as well but I headed out for the 1.5 hour drive to Flint Hill, VA area for my first ever fox hunting experience this morning. If it weren’t for the ever SO comfy dress shirt Horse Country, see Dressing for the Hunt sponsored me and the second skin and oh so good for maintaining my seat FITS Breeches, see Innovative Riding Breeches I would have not known what to do!
Gus Forbush, Joint Master of Old Dominion Hounds, was kind enough to invite me to join the field this day. I sadly have not ridden since our Patrolling with the Mounted Police episode this past July and before that it was the beginning of June the morning we left the west coast for Virginia! Needless to say, I knew I was going to be sore but ready for it! I rode, Mountain Lad, a 15 year-old Thoroughbred with a heart of gold. I felt like a child again galloping across the countryside up and down hills!
About 30 minutes in, we were blessed with a viewing of the fox. He ran over the hill, towards us hilltoppers, saw us, stopped at about 100 yards and cunningly paused to take us in before springing off to his right. Of course, per usual, we did not catch a fox but enjoyed the chase.
This has inspired me to get into the ring and get some basic jumping lessons. I’m sure Morgan would be proud to read that comment! LOL!
