It was at Lexington Junior League when I first saw a Friesian. I stared wide eyed at the glamorous woman driving this stunning black beauty and told my mom, “Someday, that’s gonna be me.” I bought Wendy as a yearling fifteen years ago and, when she was old enough, sent her off for a carriage…

Maiden Voyage
I have exciting news, Rosies! I finally took my new cart out for its maiden voyage last week when my friend Sarah was in town. If you missed it, I announced that I bought the cart in my article about my horse Wendy’s sweet 16. I’ve never owned a cart before despite driving being my…
Wendy’s Sweet 16
It’s my baby’s sixteenth birthday today! I bought Wendy when she was a little filly nearly fifteen years ago. (After all, who can afford a fully grown Friesian?!) I honestly never could have imagined how much she would impact my life. I left not one but TWO jobs because of her, I moved to my…
Wine and Cheese Spring Picnic
Looking for picnic inspiration? You’ve come to the right place! This was hands down the best Sunday Funday I’ve had in months. It was a gorgeous day – 77 degrees Fahrenheit and sunny in Dallas – and I packed up my last bottle of Folktale Winery sparkling rosé that I’ve been saving for a special…
Brunch at the Barn
I’m kicking off season eight and my year of the horse with a fabulous brunch at the barn. My trainer Hannah is the absolute best and I wanted to treat her to brunch. Plus, nothing brings me more joy than drinking champagne with my horse! I packed up portable breakfast items for a fabulous pink…

Celebrating Twenty Years with Prince
It was a blazing hot summer day when I first saw him. He looked so fiery: red coat, nostrils flaring as he tossed his head around, shaking his mane. He was the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen. “What horse is this? Can I ride him?” I asked. “He isn’t meant for you,” said my…
Birthday Picnic
This is a rare personal post on The Rose Table! I had the best birthday today with my friends and I wanted to share some photos with you guys. I spent all afternoon enjoying some of my favorite things (champagne, cheese, and horses) with some of my favorite people. I didn’t want to cook on…
Fall Rosé Horse Picnic
I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream. I had the Saturday of my dreams. I uncorked one of my finest bottles, my NV Folktale Rosé Brut from Folktale Winery, for happy hour with my beloved horse Prince and gorgeous friend Cathryn. You might remember me raving about this particular bottle during my…
