Horsing Around In L.A. by Erin Miller

Horsing Around In L.A. by Erin Miller A lifestyle blog focusing on Entertainment, Travel, Food, Wine, Movies, Disney, Horses & More. My name is Erin & I was born and raised in Southern California.

Horse crazy since a little girl, I've had a lifelong passion for horses and all animals. It has been my dream to have horses someday, but lessons, leasing and showing here and there have had to do as having horses in the city isn’t easy (or cheap) to be able to do! Besides horses, I have a gazillion other interests and hobbies as well; including traveling, photography, running in 5k’s- 1/2 maratho

ns, going to Disneyland, supporting charity events and other amazing non-profit organizations, going to Angel’s games, sports in general (especially HOCKEY!!), finding and trying out tea salons and other tasty places, WINE tastings, meetups, finding odd jobs, tutoring, enjoying the beach & river with friends and family. The list goes on and on and I cannot wait to share it all with you. I hope you enjoy my adventures and will go on some of your own in LA and in the OC in beautiful SoCal!!

This one’s for the those who almost gave up.
The ones who cried in the truck before their run.
The ones carrying heartbreak, burnout, anxiety, pressure, bills, self doubt. And you still showed up anyway.

Because sometimes life feels a whole lot like barrel racing.
You clip a barrel.
You lose your rhythm.
You have moments that humble you so hard you wonder if you even belong in the arena anymore.

But you put in the work. You keep going. Then one day, you come back stronger.

More focused. More fearless.

And every setback that tried to break you becomes part of the reason you finally make a clean run.

So this is for the people getting out of bed when it feels impossible.

For the creators pouring their hearts into content nobody sees yet.

For the dreamers working quietly behind the scenes.

For the riders who keep entering after the knockdowns.

Keep going.

The barrels won’t fall forever. 🤍🏇

✨️Collect memories. Not things.✨️

Where will you be making memories this summer?

05/12/2026

Mentally? I’m still standing at Rainbow Falls soaking in the sunshine with this song stuck in my head, listening to the water crash down, and pretending responsibilities don’t exist for five more minutes. ☀️🌈💦

Instead, reality this week looks like dental appointments, more dental work, mentally preparing myself to get my last two wisdom teeth removed next month and watching my bank account slowly evaporate from how ridiculously expensive all of this is. 🙃💸

If I seem a little checked out lately… that’s probably why.

It’s wild how badly we all need those little moments in nature sometimes. The fresh air, the views, the quiet, they reset parts of you that stress, exhaustion, and life slowly wear down. And honestly? I wish I could bottle up this feeling from Rainbow Falls and carry it into this week with me.

Trying to remind myself that hard weeks don’t last forever. Even if the dentist chair and the bill afterward, feels like it might. 😂

Anyone else mentally somewhere far away from reality right now? ⬇️

If you thought was just a historic ship, think again. 👀✨

This is your sign to come hungry because this iconic Long Beach landmark is a FULL foodie destination, and I experienced a Taste of The Queen Mary and I can’t stop thinking about it.

We’re talking:
🥂 waterfront dining
🦪 beautifully stacked seafood towers
🍸 one of the most iconic cocktail bars in Long Beach
🫖 a dreamy Afternoon Tea
🍳 AND a brunch that’s truly an experience

Here’s what you need to know ⤵️

☕Start at Jubilee for a quick coffee + bite while exploring.

🦞 Chelsea Chowder House = seafood lovers, this is YOUR spot.
The seafood tower alone is unreal. Perfect for date night, celebration, or group dinner.

🍸 Observation Bar = must stop.
Art Deco vibes, live music, craft cocktails, and the kind of ambiance you don’t find anywhere else.

🍽 Want something casual? Promenade Café + Midship Marketplace make it easy to grab something quick without missing the views.

🫖 Afternoon Tea (every Saturday 2–4PM)
One of the most charming experiences in Long Beach. Think tea, pastries, finger sandwiches, and major main character energy.

🥂 Royal Sunday Brunch
Located in the Grand Salon and YES it lives up to the hype. Bottomless champagne, global bites, live music. This is not your average brunch.

And the best part? It’s not just about the food.
In 2026, The Queen Mary is celebrating 90 years with events, tours, and experiences happening all year long. 🎉

✨ date night
✨ girls day
✨ brunch plans
✨ something different to do in Long Beach

All in one place.

If you haven’t experienced it yet… go hungry! 💫

Stop everything… the barn just got a new hunter jumper superstar and she’s approximately 10 pounds of pure diva energy 🐎💅✨

Meet , the most adorable Chihuahua you will ever meet and apparently, now a full-blown show pony.

Miss girl has been out here in nature living her BEST life, trotting around the barn like she’s got a full show schedule and a ribbon collection waiting for her 🏆🐾

The confidence? Unmatched.

The strut? Elite.

She really said “move over horses, I got this.”

Now let’s talk about her jumping career…
She lines it up. She commits. She believes in herself.
…and then absolutely eats it on one jump 😭💀

BUT after a little practice? Oh she’s coming BACK. Suddenly the form is forming, the tuck is tucking, and she’s giving mini hunter princess energy like she’s about to take home that Grand Champion ribbon for real. Will we see here at the next show? Only time will tell..

I fear it’s only a matter of time before she’s demanding her own stall, custom tack, and a fan club 😌

Go follow this tiny icon because her equestrian era has officially begun. 🐾💖

Be honest… are we signing her up for the next show or is she already booked and busy winning it all? 🐎✨
