I want to buy a pool so I can swim in the summer, let it freeze over and skate in the winter, and use it as a ball pit in spring and fall.

✿ posted 1 year ago - 0 notes - reblog ✿
- How old were you when you started riding, and why? — 6, because I wanted to
- When was the last time you rode and what did you do? — a few days and I worked on ground work then getting my horse under herself
- A video of your best riding. — don’t have one right now
- A ride that changed your life. — at a show, my horse balked before a jump then turned sharply, throwing me off her shoulder. she would’ve stepped on me but I had already started rolling. instead of whining or freaking out I immediately got back up and continued the course. It gave me the confidence to know that I wasn’t going to let anything get in my way. And the funny thing was that I didn’t even get last place
- Describe your first fall. — the horse was trotting and tripped on a golfball and threw me off
- All the tack and riding clothes you have (brand/color/etc). —oh lord, well I have 2 english saddles, 2 bridles, 1 western, multiple saddle pads/shock pads, a couple d-ring bits, a kimberwick bit, 2 tall boots, western boots, full riding suit, multiple color/pattern britches, paddock boots, girths and girth pads, wraps, bell boots, blankets, etc. like a few thousand $ worth
- Favorite ribbon won at a show and why. —I got a rainbow one once. I like it because it’s rainbow. Otherwise I really enjoy my champion ones…
- A bit about the barn you ride at. —it’s the most beautiful barn i’ve been too. they have shows, tack/feed store, a sale barn, large arena and green pastures, everything you need
