Awesome Things Blog Hop

I was going to call this post "Awesome things to do with your OTTB". Well, actually, I was going to count the number of awesome things I had done and then turn it into one of those god-awful annoying listicle things, but who doesn't hate those? No one. They are universally hated clickbait and I will avoid participating this time.

Instead, I'm calling it the Awesome Things Blog Hop, because putting these pictures together made me really happy and I'd like to see other people do it. (Also I suck at blog hops, so please feel free to share your participation in the comments at any point and I'll check it out!)

Without further ado.

Here are the awesome things Courage and I do together.

take selfies

have a nap

give pony rides

do dressage

take lessons

go to shows

live dangerously

build confidence

watch sunsets

work hard

laugh

Training and competing is certainly good, but there's so much more to life and horsemanship than the endless show/clinic cycle. There are fun things and sad things and things we can do for free. So hey. If you have a giant, fragile, eating, pooping mammal on the payroll, you might as well have as much fun as you can stuff into any given 24 hour period. Enjoy!
