Equestrian Ain't So Bad...

Hey Pards,

I've been watching/photographing/writing about a lot of equestrian events lately. I know they're not "western" in nature, but they involve horses and that's good enough for me. I just appreciate the power and grace of a horse soaring over big jumps in a Grand Prix or showjumping event.

The riders have been great to interview as well. From my experience so far, horse lovers are pretty much the same, no matter what the breed or discipline.

I guess I mean to say - I like horses and horse people.

What about you?

Humorous Equine Definitions

Hey Pards,

It's been waaaaaaay too long since I last posted, and for that I do apologize. To make up for it, I thought I would bring a smile along with me today. I found a website containing some horse "definitions" I thought were kinda funny (most of 'em, anyway). They include definitions like:

Barn Sour: An affliction common to horse people in northern climates during the winter months. Trudging through deep snow, pushing wheelbarrows through snow and beating out frozen water buckets tend to bring on this condition rapidly.

Endurance Ride: The end result when your horse spooks and runs away with you in the woods.

Feed: Expensive substance utilized in the manufacture of large quantities of manure.

You can find the rest here. I hope you enjoy!
