This is Take Two

So for those of you who read my blog that lasted a whole three posts before, welcome back!  I promise this one will be much more entertaining and much longer lived.  For those of you who didn't, where were you those whole two weeks?!?  That's okay though, I forgive you.  Now, down to business.
I was thinking the other day that I kind of miss blogging.  Yeah, I didn't really get into it the first time around, not because it wasn't fun, but simply because a bunch of stuff blew up in my face.  So basically I didn't post on it in forever and the longer I waited the harder it was to go back and try and catch everything up to speed.  So I quit.  How outrageous of me.  You see, I have this saying that I think is pretty awesome, "Winners never quit and quitters never win."  If I want to write, I can't quit this fun opportunity that the internet provides me with, so here I am.
Now that we've taken care of the business (and confession one, oh my!), we can get down to the writing, which today is mostly just going to be me introducing myself, my horses, and maybe throwing in a fun story, because we all just love stories!  After today though, I'm going to make a genuine effort to post a couple times a week with pictures, funny stories, and cool things like that, so here goes nothing!

Picture from last year, but the latest one I have in normal clothes!

So that person above?  That's me in normal clothes.  Well, closer to normal than breeches and tall boots.  It's a senior portrait from last year, taken by a friend of my mom's who is an awesome photographer.  Hold this picture in your head, it is likely one of the last times you will see me looking semi normal and not covered in horse hair and sweat.  It's also proof that I can actually clean up nice.  Moving on.


Brit

 This is Brit, aka Burberry.  She is an eight year old Hanoverian mare that I've had for a bit more than six weeks.  She is incredibly sweet, talented, and an awesome mover.  Brit is the one that I am planning on showing the most since she is more ready to go than the dweeb down below.  Thus far, she seems fairly ordinary, unlike someone else I know, yes Liam I'm talking about you!














Liam

This one is Liam, aka Limitless a five year old thoroughbred that I purchased as a three year old.  He's a bit of a dork, always into something and sticking his nose where it doesn't belong.  He is, however, one of the smartest horses I know.  He can turn on his fan by himself, bang his feed pan on the fence to beg for watermelon and then cleverly smash the watermelon against the wall and the ground to make it easier to eat, and once when I accidently left his halter within reach, he took it off the hook, carried it down to the end of his paddock, and hung it on the fence.  Mostly, my goal with him at the moment is to get him to grow up, and my best friend when it comes to that is time.  Good thing I've learned to be patient!  More than likely, he will be one of the main sources of entertainment, he's always got something up his sleeve (well not sleeve, horses don't have those, but you know what I mean!)



Anyway, those are my horses, the ridiculous animals that us equestrians are so enamored with that we can't seem to break away.  I know this post was kind of boring, but we'll get to the good stuff next time!  I'm schooling Brit this weekend at Woodside, so if nothing else, I should have some interesting tales then!
