Seeking some peace & quiet

Riding on Sunday - via my Instagram
This morning, I escaped through a heavy fog to the peace and quiet of the countryside for a nice ride and good chat with my trainer.  By car, the trip is an hour long but totally worth it.  There's something calming and relaxing about getting out into the countryside and being surrounded by the whisper of trees and chirping of birds.

I would gladly cough up the $16 million to purchase this perfectly manicured equestrian estate in California.  Although it's not at as cute as my trainer's barn, I think I could get used to the chandeliered barns and lush green pastures.  Just add some guinea fowl and a few dozen dogs and I'll feel right as home*.










*Sorry that today's "Hey Homey" post isn't exactly house-centric but I haven't found anything awesome in the real estate market recently.  When I find something cute, I'll be sure to share again.

  11. Huge! Does the price tag include the horses?? How long have you been riding for? I've never been on a horse if you can believe it.

  15. It's so amazing that you ride horses. And I'm honestly super envious! Sounds to me like one of the best ways to feel at peace.

  17. Wow!!! I can actually comment now. (did you get my email) That was crazy for a while.

    I didn't know you rode! I honestly don't think I've ever been on a horse. Isn't that insane? $16 mil? Ask Santa!

  18. Call me dense, but I just now realized you called this series, "Hey Homey." Don't give me that look. ;) It's so awesome that you ride. I bet the act is so therapeutic. I used to go to a summer camp in middle school where you picked one activity to engage in the entire week. I picked horse riding both summers that I attended. Love horses and would love to get back to it. Someday.
    PS~That house! I can't even believe people live like that.

  19. i used to ride horses but it was in the cowgirl fashion. i dream of someday taking it up again but considering i stopped when i was about 6 years old i think i'd definitely need some lessons. our barn certainly did not have chandeliers but i am pretty sure i would have loved it if it did. how pretty is that?!
