Finals suck

Sorry guys, I'm just now getting to Day 2 of the 30 day challenge :( Exams start tomorrow and things have been hectic the past couple of weeks as the semester winds down. The question for day 2 is: Your most intense/exciting moment at a show

Hmm I would have to say that this honor goes to Limerick, though it really wasn't his fault. We were warming up for dressage at the KHP 2 years ago when all of the sudden, this horse on the edge of the warm up ring freaked out and dumped its rider. Said horse then turned and took off like a bat out of hell, of course choosing to run straight at me and Limmers. Limerick, trying to save both of us (or prolly just himself - let's be real) from certain peril, launched himself out of the way while simultaneously throwing his head/neck up in the air and smacking me in the face. So that's how I got a bloody and very sore nose at my first ever event ;)

Two of my favorite pictures of us, just because:

My last ride on him

And because it's almost Christmas :)

  1. Good luck with the exams & Yay for Limerick pix - he is such a handsome boy (and I'm not just saying that because he reminds me of Kika *ahem*) ☺
