About Me



Hello!
My name is Alyssa, but on this blog I go by "CBL" (Colorado Breyer Lover). I am sixteen years old. I live out in the country and own my Appaloosa gelding, Ollie. I bought him on October 15th, 2014 and he arrived at my house on the 18th.

I am 100% a country girl and I love being outside. I have been riding horses for over nine years and when I first started riding, I realized it was my passion. I practice Natural Horsemanship and I have done a lot of training with Haflingers, Gypsy Vanners, Quarter Horses, Miniature Horses, Morgans, Paints, TB's, TWH's and more. After I graduate school I hope to go to Clinton Anderson's Academy and become a Certified Professional Clinician, teaching Clinton Anderson's Method.







The Special horses that led me to where I am now:

  1. Hi CBL!
    I have been following your blog for a while now, coming and have a look every so often. I saw that you are moving to Texas and going to Clinton Anderson's Academy. Good luck!

    I have only one question. Will you continue this blog once you have moved? I hope so as I love to read about the horses and see all your model photography.

    I just wanted to say that even if you decide to forgo continuing this blog, thanks for creating something in this world worth looking at and spending time making others feel good.
    Minki.

    1. I am leaving in two years or so. Hopefully I will still blog, but who knows! You are not supposed to take photos at Clinton's place, and Ollie would be miles away from me (I will be in TX and he will stay here in CO) unless I board him somewhere near Clinton's place. We shall see in time.

      Thank you for making my day! Your comment has blessed me so much.
