#4starfuture

...and if I had the money, I would buy 4starfuture / katemsev's Annie from her in a heartbeat.

Sadly, neither of these things are going to happen. Mostly because I'm a mostly broke college student whose parents are basically about to stop funding my horse habit.

Oh my gosh, yes! There are SO many rider/horse combos that I simply adore on Tumblr… I can’t even name them all, oh boy. Here are the first ones that come to mind:

Alana & Boomer 

Sam & Ringo

Kate & Annie

Laura & Riley

Zoe & Moo

Hannah & Jerico

Jaime & Winny

Stephanie & Val

Carly & M

Sonja & Amyra

Each and every one of these riders (and horses) inspire me in some way in my own riding and in my personal life…they are all incredible horse-people and people in general. I’m seriously grateful to be able to call these talented and wonderful women my friends (if only on Tumblr). 

Always post the rules

Answer the questions from the person who tagged you and write eleven new questions (new ones at the bottom)

Let them know you've tagged them

1. Favorite breed?  Thoroughbred, I rarely ride something other as the barn I ride at is mostly ex-racehorses.

2. Favorite color?  I like dark colors like seal browns, but chestnuts and I always seem to get along well.  I didn't used to like chestnut, but now it probably ties with my love for dark colored horses.

3. Been to a concert?  Yes, I've been to Nsync and Avril Lavigne.  Years ago.

4. Dream date?  Oh gawd, umm.  Curled up on the couch in front of the fire reading.. 

5.  Top five equine products you'd recommend?  Ogilvy (It has been so good for my horse's back), EquiFit, Ariat, irideon, and Weatherbeeta.  Not in any particular order really.

6.  Favorite thing about your current barn/trainer/horse?  I have been with the barn I ride at since I was 9, I've grown up there.  I recently swapped from the head trainer to the assistant head trainer who works more on flat work which I have been lacking lately.  I've owned my horse for about 8 years; he is my baby.  He's very well behaved, but not easy.

7.  Best movie you've ever seen?  Hunger Games.

8.  Favorite band/singer?  No idea, I have a wide range of music tastes.

9.  Favorite animal (besides equine)?  Dolphin 

10.  What is your dream car?  I don't know cars really, but a small hatchback in a color that is not a bright color. 

11.  Number one talent?  Procrastinating even things I want to do.

Tagging:

Boomer; He’s absolutely stunning to look at. He’s got the cheekiest personality I’ve ever known. He’s got the athleticism of a horse twice his size and the heart to match. He’s unique in many ways and they all make him better. He also belongs to my best friend so..there’s that.

Belle; She’s the cUTEST MINIATURE HORSE THE WORLD HAS EVER LAID ITS EYES ON. No lie. She’s perfect in every way and I don’t know what I would do without that little bundle of joy — and her momma — in my life.

Amyra; She’s probably one of the most beautiful jumpers I’ve seen in a long time. Super talented little lady ridden by my suuuper talented friend. She reminds me a bit of Prima sometimes.

Remi; He’s perfect. Simple.

Tori; I can’t get over her adorable face. She’s another mare that I just can’t help but love. She’s athletic, talented, and bloody hilarious. Her & her momma make me smile and I love them.

Bee; Bee. Enough said. <3

Winny; He’s absolutely stunning. Such a pleasure to watch. Also, Jaime may or may not be one of my favorite riders on Tumblr? Hm.

Fire; Uggghhhh, Fire. I can’t even with him. He is the goofiest, handsomest, most adorable little TB ever. He also is owned by a really good friend of mine!

Annie; She’s lovely. I love seeing the updates and other posts about her. I think she has a lot of potential. I have a thing for Thoroughbreds and a thing for dapple greys and she’s both so I’m automatically going to like her!
