Day Twenty Eight: Helmet or no helmet? Helmet! My blog is not a place for controversy though and so I try and stay away from hot button topics like helmets. I find that people don’t really listen very well when it comes to helmet discussions because they feel so strongly one way or the other. [...]

Day Twenty Seven: You know you are an equestrian when (list 5 things). 1) You don’t think twice running errands in town while wearing skin tight pants and a shirt filled with slobber. 2) You cluck at slow moving obstacles (I have accidentally clucked at people in addition to cars, trains and bicyclist) 3) You [...]

Day Twenty Six: Your biggest riding pet peeve I have one general pet peeve when it comes to riding and that is people who do not treat horses with respect. I hate, hate, hate that. Horses are living breathing creatures with hearts, minds and opinions. They should not be abused or tortured…ever. Watching a rider [...]

Day Twenty Five: Your dream trailer I know, I am so boring, but honestly, that is totally my dream trailer! This is a Hawk 2 horse classic with walk through and dressing room. I love everything about it! I currently have a 1992 Sundowner that is extra high and extra wide, but it doesn’t have [...]

Day Twenty Four: Your Best Riding Buddy I am so sad right now because I don’t have a best riding buddy. I never really thought about it but now that I am thinking about it I think it sucks! I am going to blame the fact I ride dressage for this one, even though it [...]

Day Twenty Three: The first horse you ever rode. I think that we can all agree that there is a special place in all our hearts for the first horse that we ever rode. Mine was named Banner. He was in his 30s and I was 12 years old and totally horse crazy. His color [...]

Day Twenty Two: Describe the importance of riding in your life. Well, to me the importance of riding is a different thing than the importance of horses in my life. I think that is why the whole SchoolMaster thing threw me for such a loop. I identify myself as a horse person. I wouldn’t know [...]

Day Twenty One: Your Favorite Schooling Outfit So this one made me laugh. I tend to go with the idea that barn clothes are the clothes that have worn out their usefulness in real life. That means that if there is a T-shirt that doesn’t fit or a sweatshirt with a hole in it, it [...]

Day Twenty: Your favorite horse show. This one is easy, and believe it or not, this show has nothing to do with Gennyral at all. My favorite horse show of all time took place in my senior year of college and was an Intercollegiate Dressage Association (IDA) show. At that time I was not riding [...]
