Well why not copy this from a few people?
1) What discipline do you ride? This is an interesting question. I’m really not pinned down to one specific discipline. I divide my time between riding both English and western.
2) If
you had to switch your discipline which one would you choose? I would
love to try different things before I HAD to commit to switching to one
specific thing.
3) Who
is your equestrian idol? Ian Miller I guess. Don’t
really follow a ton of equestrians, but I always loved watching him ride when I
was a kid.
4) Who
is your least favorite equestrian? Anyone that is a douche.
5) Describe
your dream horse (breed, color, markings…) Big
gray dappled thoroughbred gelding OR a palomino AQHA gelding with
white stockings and a blaze, but I am VERY particular on the blaze. It can’t be
too wide or two narrow.
6) Post
a picture of the horse you ride
7) What
would you do if you were forced to stop riding? I
would still have horses. I enjoy having them around. Their sounds and smells
make me happy, as silly as that sounds. I’d also maybe look into learning to
drive them. Maybe have a team of Shetland ponies to drag me around.
8) What
was your best score at a show? Reserve high point champion for a dressage test I did with Piney. He went
from getting last place in his tests in our first show, to kicking ass and
taking names in our last show 2 months later.
9) What
is your favorite horse blog? I can’t pick favorites. I enjoy
a lot of blogs.
10) Group
lesson or private? I enjoy private lessons, but I do like
group lessons so I can show off ;-)
11) How
high do you jump? Highest I’ve ever jumped was 2’6” and it. Was. Awesome.
12) What
level dressage do you do? I was doing first level and
everything before that.
13) What
level eventing do you do? I WISH I was doing eventing!
14) Cross
country colors? What are they? I don’t even know what I would
pick!
15) What
colors look good on your horse? George looks smashing in
bright, royal blue. Pistol looks great in green. And Duke usually rocks black.
16) Opinions
on Rolkur? I don’t like it. which seems to be how everyone feels about it.
17) Last
time you rode? Was it great? YES! It was
a very quick jaunt down the road on my boy George. It was the first time I had
ridden him in my western saddle and he was more relaxed than usual. But Duke
being a big old pain in the ass, decided he couldn’t go past the fenceline and
was a big drama queen once he got past it. So it was a very quick ride because
of his antics.
18) If
you could spend a day with any equestrian who would it be? I’m not
really sure. Maybe one of my blogger ‘friends’.
19) Helmet
or no helmet? Opinions? Welllllllllllllllll…… Every
single time I ride George I strap on my helmet and crash vest. I still don’t
know him all that well and I’m not 100% confident that I completely trust him
yet. But when I ride Pistol I usually don’t wear a helmet. I know, I know. Accidents
can happen to anyone and on any horse.
20) Who
was/ is your first horse? My first horse was a palomino
AQHA gelding named Good Time To Review aka Charlie Yellow. He was an awesome
first horse, and I will always have a soft spot for quarter horses... but I appreciate the heart and try of a thoroughbred more. My quarter horses have been a bit more of a handful than my ottbs.
It's so funny that your TB's have been so much easier than the Quarters! It seems like everyone thinks the opposite is always true. :)
