What happens to a horse Foster centric blog called a House on a Hill, when the certain horse gets potentially rehomed (final decision in May), and the house gets sold?
I enjoy blogging, I really do. I’ve published 428 posts since this blog was started in 2013. What started as a purely cathartic exercise and a way to track the progress of a horse and a house turned into becoming part of a community that has inspired new friendships and relationships (albeit online) with people across the globe. It’s allowed acquaintances and friends in the real world a way to keep up with our activities, and it continues to shock me when I find out that someone reads my blog. The journey has been a fun one, and a revealing one.
But as I said, where do we go now? I look at this site from a web designer’s POV and think- we’ll, that banner’s got to go, or thank goodness we didn’t get a domain name registered. It’s all very strange to me that these events, selling the house and rehoming Foster, don’t seem real until I write them down.
I can’t see myself just setting the blog aside. So in all likelihood, it will continue on and evolve as all things do. I won’t stop riding, and goodness knows I’ve already sunk my teeth into some house projects (update coming, I swear). But if it’s a little quiet in the meantime, well, that’s because that’s how things are at the moment.
We’re still here, in the house on a hill, 2.0.

NO! dont stop blogging!!! But in all seriousness it all sounds exciting and I cant wait to hear more!
Can’t stop, won’t stop blogging. Exciting things coming in the future, but for now it’s limbotown 🙂
I really hope you don’t stop blogging, yours are some of my favorite posts.
Aw, thank you! That means a lot, for sure.
I have had similar thoughts and have been really glad I didn’t name my blog “Simon the OTTB” or “Widow Warrior” or something like that. You’ll find the right path if you enjoy the writing!
Thankfully there’ll always be horses (if I can help it) and a roof over our head (I hope) so theoretically, there should be blog content a plenty. Ideally I’ll be feeling inspired soon!
I too really enjoy your blog – posts about your home are always amazing and horse posts are good too 🙂 Keep us posted when you can!
That’s so sweet, and it’s so nice to know that I’m not just spouting out to the interwebs for no reason. Thank you 🙂
Eek, I’m having this same problem. I have my little project horse, but I don’t feel like I want to have a horse blog because it’s not the same without some big over-arching goal like I had with Wiz (who got sold to the BEST girl ever and he is so happy, happy ending for all). I’m thinking about starting a traveling blog, since that is more of my focus in life at the moment. I miss keeping up with everyone’s blogs and it’s something I want to start doing again. at least the name ‘house on the hill’ gives you the freedom to go wherever you’d like! Now that I’m getting back into blogging/reading, I’m sure I’ll keep up again 🙂
P.S. Sorry to hear about Foster, I will have to go back and read through your posts to see what’s going on when I’m not on my lunch break!
Oh that is WONDERFUL to hear about Wiz. You must be so relieved. And I’ve seen your random social media with the new pony! Would love to hear more details!
whatever the case, i hope you keep writing and sharing bc i love following along!!
I will definitely keep sharing! Just a bit of a lull for the moment 🙂
I hope you keep up the blogging. But also, maybe get a new horse? Nudge, nudge…
yeah! did I see a mention of “window shopping” on SB’s blog?
Yes, doing a little [read: a lot, obsessively] window shopping 😀
Thinking about it 🙂 Just gotta make sure Fosterpants lands on his feet first.
Glad you will continue to blog!
The blog will continue!
Something will for sure come along to inspire you!
Oh yes, I’m sure of it! A house post at the very least is coming, once it’s presentable enough that I can take pictures 🙂
I have so enjoyed your blog posts and would be so sad if you stopped! I think you have such great discussion posts and fun media too (graphic design major for the win!) Plus I feel like your blog kind of brought our friendship back around after college and I love that!!! It has been such a fun adventure following you!!! Looking forward to 2.0 and beyond!
Yes- I am so glad to have reconnected with you (on the interwebs and beyond!)! There will definitely be a blog, the content of which is just a bit up in the air at the moment 🙂
That’s how i felt when I lost Carlos. The Blog was about him, but at the same time its about us as well (people) so you just keep going as it suits.
I think you should keep blogging and I can’t wait to see where you take things!!
