The Useful Escape

Posted October 30th, 2009 by Samantha Grass

As some of you may already be aware, I am an animal fanatic. I love my dog. I love my cat. I love my parrot. I love my horse.

Did she say horse?

Yes. I said horse. Because I have one. If you are a friend you have probably seen the multitude of “mommy pride” snapshots on my Facebook. Please note, men across the world, you will never come between a woman and her horse. Never.

Living in New York City has not been easy on me. In fact, leaving my horse behind in TN was one of the hardest things about moving (sorry, family). I was unable to bring my horse up to NY from TN, but I have a new pony in Long Island now (a year later) and we have so much fun together.

My weekends in Long Island with “Apollo” have become, what I like to call, my giant reset button. Goodbye claustrophobia, hello peace of mind!

I would like to share some images I’ve taken around the barn from a rainy day when riding was out of the question. Enjoy!

I recently collaborated on a project with my friend, Sarah, who does some freelance projects for the DIY Ideas peeps. Check out some of the outtakes here on her flickr page!

She made some great crafty ghosty treats and we staged a “photobooth” shoot ghost style! Enjoy!

Sarah. The mastermind.
