Day 23- Picture of your favorite jump/combo

I think that I would want something like this:

I would add to it but I think it would be a good starting point :)

Day 22- The importance of riding in your life

My friend Lyssette and I were just talking about how in our lives, horses are a need not a want.. where most people would think that they are a want- I don't know where I would be without my horse.

Rather the shopping in my free time I am at the barn...
Rather then sleeping in on Sat I am at the barn...
Rather then relaxing at home after work I am at the barn...
Rather then buying new clothes for myself I buy things for my horse...
Rather then going to the gym I ride...
When I'm stressed and need a break I go up to my horse...
When I don't feel like I can control anything in life I go ride and feel like I have a grasp on life...

You get the point.

Riding is something that had grown apart of my DAILY life over the last almost 20 years... When getting married my husband knew that horse would now be apart of his life and I am thankful- so thankful for his willingness to jump in and embrace my love/hobby/4 legged children.

From my first lessons on Foxy and Adam to my post pregnancy lessons/rides on Henry I have LOVED and enjoyed every minute of riding and hope for 50+ more years of riding!

Day 21- Your perfect schooling outfit

July 10th- Fair, Food and Zoe

We went to the fair today with some friends and had a blast- ate lots of food, watched the horse races and got some sun..

Bayley had some carrots- she LOVES all food...

Zoe had found all of Roxy's bone stashes in the back yard ...

Day 20- Your favorite horse show

Growing up I loves to show at the Watsonville fair grounds.... It was familiar and comfortable. We always got the stationary stalls (not the temp ones)... I knew were thing were and almost felt at home in the arenas.

One day I will have money to show at some other places and rated shows and I am sure I will find one that I love there too- Watsonville was some great memories that I will never lose :)

Day 19- A discipline you would like to do that you’ve never done before

Reining .. and I mean the real deal- on a really expensive horse that knows it's job.

I'd love to feel a slide stop- how amazing would that be!?!?


Or maybe id like to do Jumpers ...
