Long time no blogging

1: If your horse could talk what would they say? What would they be like?
Super Kid would definitely would be like me, or one of the girls off Mean Girls. Sarcastic,smart and witty

Rhyme would be this fish, not even joking, he can be so obnoxious sometimes, he can't help it though he's just at that stage of development. If its really bad stuff like chewing on everything and being pushy he gets in trouble but if its the other stuff I just ignore him


2: If you were a horse, what would you look like (color, markings, etc), what discipline would you do, and what would you be like to ride?
I would be either a grey (SK) or chestnut mare with a small blaze and snip. Definitely would be crazy and do eventing and rock the upper levels. Definitely would be one of those horses that only certain people could ride, much like SK is.

3: How many barns have you ridden at?

Ummm, I've always had my horses at home but have taken lessons at other barns 
4: What kind of bay do you prefer? (bright bay, blood bay, etc)
Any but I love bright and blood bays 

5: Can you braid a horses mane? Tail?

I can braid both good enough to get by in eventing and dressage but don't let any hunters look at them.

6: Do you believe that you have to fall off in order to be a good rider?
No, you have to work hard to be a good rider 


7: What do you think is more important: eq or effective riding?
Effectiveness over EQ anyday, mostly because I know a lot of good EQ riders that if you take away their made horse and put them on something that requires work they wouldn't be able to ride it.

8: Are there any "horse couples" at your barn?
No, but Super Kid and Teagan where a couple until he left


9: Favorite treat to feed your horse?
Super Kid is allergic to apples so not apples. I don't know I usually just feed regular treats 


10: Silly quirks your horse has.
She loves to have her front legs stretched out before you get on. She will bolt at imaginary things, and to this day could randomly spook, she will usually come when you call her. Rhyme has skin problems, no joke, he also will follow me around like a dog, even if I'm cleaning the pasture or something he comes up and hangs out, he has problems 

11: Strangest thing you've fed your horse.
Arrow has eaten pizza willingly before, Super Kid LOVES butterscotch hard candies

12: Have you ever made any horse friends through the internet?
Yes 


13: Would you buy horse furniture?
umm no?


14: Funniest horsey moment
When SK was being bad at Dom Schramm's this summer and he got on her. She was NOT happy, including pissy pony kicks out to the side and grouchy faces,


15: Post a picture of your horse (or any horse) making a silly face that you got on camera!


Leave me alone human, trying to sleep
Whatever, stay there, I am NOT getting up tho

16: What's a moment with horses that you wished you caught on camera?

I wish I could have video taped all my lessons at Dom's over the summer, we seriously improved so much with someone there constantly telling me what to fix do etc. I want to go back, hopefully, and continue our plan to possible go training

17: How old was the youngest horse you've met?
I had a foal born in my lap when I was little


18: How old was the oldest horse you've met?
Probably my old pony Annie who HAD to be in her mid 30's


19: Opinion on colorful tack? (like red or blue)
I like colorful accessories, the tack itself, blah


20: Have you ever tried horse treats? Hay?
Both yes, both blah


21: Have you ever felt like giving up on a horse?
More than once I have said I was giving up but I haven't yet 

22: Tell the story about the horse that you first felt "click" immediately with you (and if you can't remember, most recent)

I guess the first time I really truly felt like me and SK where really rolling together and a team would be at IEA this year, funny three years this summer that I've had and we are finally there

23: Ever ridden side-saddle? How was it?
Nope, would probably die

24: Most interesting place you've ridden at.
KHP, so much history there, 


25: What kind of horse do you like? (sport, stock, endurance, etc)
Sporty like a ferrari but stocky enough to be sound forever


26: Do you feel like you have more patience with horses than people?
OMG yes

27: Is the horse you ride very vocal?
Rhyme is, SK not so much


28: Ever ridden in the sunset?

Yes

29: How do you like a horse's mane? (roached, pulled, long, etc)
Roached or pulled, doesn't matter as long as it is taken care of and kept untangled


30: What is your dream name for a horse?

E= MC^2 AKA the Speed of Light, SK future foals name, no joke
