To Blog, Or Not To Blog...

So I finally bit the bullet. To blog, or not to blog. I can’t believe I’m actually doing this. My previous view of blogging insisted that it was a waste of time and energy. We’ll see how long I last. Being a full-time college student, I don’t know how much time I’ll have to expound on the daily adventures of my life. Or even if that’s the road I’ll take with this one. 

I’ve had a lot of changes in the past few years so maybe this will be one I stick with. Or maybe not. Perhaps this is simply a ruse of my intellect in order to retrain myself with the basics of writing. College is definitely a motivator. 

Right now I’m going to a small community college until I get a few more credits under my belt and decide from were I want to obtain my Bachelor’s. From there, on to bigger and better. No, I haven’t decided on a major. I’m enjoying the novelty of living each day for the moment instead of constantly trying to plan and look too far ahead in the future. That particular way of thinking has gotten me in trouble more than once in my past… so now time to change it. I’m simply relaxing into the routine of life. 

For now, my priorities consist of loving on my wonderful Shagya/Percheron mare, finishing this semester with as close to a 4.0 as I dare challenge myself, once again getting my physical standard back to what it was when I was competitively racing (Endurance Racing), and making the most of my time here up on Farfel Mountain (as the family fondly calls it). 

I have five horses up here to torture, (yes.. I torture horses with apples, carrots, kisses, and love), and couldn’t be happier. 

My pride and joy is a Shagya/Percheron mare named Sheebah. We jump, play dressage, kick-ass at mounted police work, and can climb any mountain you put in front of us. Yes, she’s my endurance horse. (although you wouldn’t know it now looking at her! Her feet {finally have recovered} and gotten huge - so has her ass!) We’ll be taking care of that as soon as the weather cools off a bit. 

My other four are actually my aunt’s horses.. But I have pretty much free reign over them. Stormy is my red-roan appendix gelding. He jumps, LOVES cows, and would be amazing with mounted-police work. 

Sweetheart is my palomino quarter horse. She’s a doll…as her name implies. Once I get her up and going again, she’ll be my dressage diva. 

Scarlet is a kick-ass little bay mare out of the Zipps Chocolate Chip line. Would go for $8,000 easy on the pony-hunter circuit. So that’s more than likely her destination (pony hunters). 

Scarlet’s baby is the pistol of the bunch. Lilly is a sorrel and white paint that’s as sassy as they come. She can turn on a dime and give you nine cents change… I’d like to get her turning around some barrels. 

If I end decide to keep this up, I’ll post some pictures of the others. Right now they’re fuzzy and fat with the winter woolies. 

I absolutely love my horses. Nothing in the world can compare to the sight of five magnificent creatures cantering up and nickering to you in the pasture. And when that one special one softly whuffles in your hair and nuzzles your back for more attention, your heart melts all over again. 

However, I think this will suffice for my official first blog entry. We’ll see how to progress from here. 

Ciao.
