Straight from the horse’s mouth: Wellesley mom blogs about life at the barn

Wellesley mom Kristie Callahan Gill is the town’s newest member of the blogosphere. Gill started her blog, rantingsofahorsemom.blogspot.com, as a way to share what she’s learned about the joys and trials of providing her young daughter with an equestrian education.

It’s an insider’s look at the horsey life, with posts that cover issues such as, “…My Daughter Wants a Pony. What Should I Do?” and “When It’s Time to Change Barns.”

So if you’ve ever wondered what kind of dedication it takes to pony club, dressage, or event with the best of them, check out Gill’s blog. She also provides links to essential equestrian resources such as journals and horse-supplies shopping websites.

All this local interest in such country pursuits can only be good for Washington Street business Dover Saddlery, which specializes in English riding.
