11 months ago I left my fancy house with a pool………
to follow my dreams & ride with a top notch trainer full time.
He really didn’t know what he was getting into.
By the way……..anyone looking for a REALLY nice house WITH A POOL & an awesome arena in Texas?????

When I arrived in the armpit of hell Florida on September 1st I made a small vow NEVER to spend July, August, or September in Florida again.
Well………..I’m still here.
And I would LOVE to cash in on all the bets out there on how long I would last in my horse trailer. The fearless leader made a bold one. He laid money on me being in a house in 6 months.
Time to Pay up!
While I’ve been RV-ing it & sweating myself to death this summer I’ve been thinking about some of the hotter and more ridiculous Bad Eventer moments of my life.
Several years ago I had a mare that needed Regumate for a breeding.
Let’s talk about Regumate.
It’s a hormone that mimics pregnancy. It comes in an oil based solution. The label says “women of childbearing age should exercise extreme caution when handling this product. Accidental absorption could lead to a disruption of the menstrual cycle or prolongation of pregnancy.”
Notice it said “absorption”.
That’s because you can absorb it through your skin.
I was getting it ready to give my mare right before work. When I tipped the bottle up it leaked around the cap and it POURED all down my arm.
Because the massive amounts of hormones in a bottle of regumate are in an oil base, when you get it on your skin it takes SOAP and WATER to get it off.
I began SPRINTING for the house!
Cue Chariots of Fire
By the time I reached a sink and soap I had probably absorbed enough progesterone for 4……..or maybe 5 elephants.
An hour or so later while I was driving to work an OnStar commercial came on.
If you haven’t had the pleasure of hearing an OnStar commercial they typically depict someone who has just had a car accident. An OnStar dispatcher talks to the driver and says something like, “Don’t worry, help is on the way.”
I started sobbing.
Really.
And for the record, I’m not much of a cryer.
I called work and explained that I’d accidentally absorbed a Noah’s ark worth of pregnancy hormones and I was crying at an Onstar commercial. My manager said, “TURN AROUND AND GO HOME RIGHT NOW. DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT COME TO WORK.”
Words of wisdom from BadEventer = Never underestimate hormones.
