Another day, another arena sharing incident and screaming match with one of the “trainers” at the barn. I’m so doooooone.

A different perspective of the spine. This is a great photograph as it shows how positioning of the head and neck influences bend in the back. Taken from my book Horse Anatomy for Performance available from here http://www.horsesinsideout.com/b1ha4p.html.

2018 is about little victories. we’re not putting pressure on ourselves to become everything we’ve always wanted to be because nobody can do that in a year. instead we’re focusing on making forward strides and we’re celebrating every single win no matter how small.

Dude 😍😍😍

[journeytogoals]

So Marblz and I tried working Equitation the other day and it was a blast!

[deadinsidedressage]

Had no idea my last ask would cause so much drama 😂 I have to admit I’m not a big fan of chestnuts either. Have you done anything holiday-related yet? -SS 🎅🏻

Yeah everyone gets on my ass about the same chestnut thing anytime the joke comes up.

It’s like, damn people am I not allowed to have preferences??

I put up my parent’s tree and am working on my Christmas cards BUT I’ve not done any decorating in my apartment yet (mostly cause I don’t have time).

I mean I like grays and chestnut the least and those are the only colors I’ve ever leased/actually shown/owned.  Oops.

To be fair I kept my fingers crossed that Shelf would be a liver chestnut but she failed me on that one

[dressagekitten]

Just wanted a bay mare and only bay mare. Got a chestnut gelding. 🙃

[deadinsidedressage]

So long as they have 4 legs and w/t/c then who cares? ? 😂

[sanddancingwithanxiety]

Me looking: literally anything but a fucking chestnut

Me now: oop

[swedishdressage]

I detest bays. I’ve had 5.

[dressagekitten]

Dusty is my dream horse if only he was a lady!

[journeytogoals]

Grays were the worst. I've had 5.
