10 Day Challenge

I’ve been challenged.

Ten-day horse family challenge. Every day, select an image from a day in the life of owning, loving, driving and riding that has had an impact on you and post it without a single explanation and nominate somebody to take the challenge. That’s 10 days, 10 horse photos, 10 nominations, and 0 explanations.

Like my challenger, I bent the rules somewhat. 1 day, 10 photos, 0 nominations and 9 explanations.

I decided to go waaaaay back in time to pictures that haven’t seen the light of day in a long time.

ONE

Oldest known photo of me on a horse. She was a bay TB mare at the riding school called Artic Witch. I liked her a lot. In front of me was my super-cool friend whose dad owned the riding school. She’s on a pony called Silver. I guess we were about thirteen at the time.

TWO

First horse, Trixie, aka Thundering Bitch. A lot of this was necessary before I would get on her back.

THREE

Again, First Horse. Proof that getting on her back did actually happen. But oh, she was pretty.

FOUR

First Horse and Mizzen, who undid all her damage.

FIVE

How I raised my kids, Part 1

SIX

How I raised my kids, Part 2

SEVEN

How I raised my kids, Part 3

EIGHT

First photo of me and this Dude

NINE

How I raised my kids part 4. Also an early photo of The Handsome Boy, back when he was a showjumper, before he became an eventer, a dressage horse and finally an Old Lady horse.
