Riding Rants!

20 Things Only an Equestrian Would Understand

let's be real;

ppl who do not ride do not understand half of anything you do...

but hell us equestrains all understand each other! 

we know what it's like and though it seems crazy to everyone else it makes perfect sense to us. 

so here is 20 things only an equestrian would understand!

************************************************************************************************************

1. POSTING/TWO-POINT

anyone out there crazy enough to try and demonstrate or tell a non-equestrain about posting or two-point? 

if you ever have (like me) you will realize just how ridiculous you look and how pointless it is to try and explain; 

"no posting is not like humping."

to someone who obviously thinks it is. 

************************************************************************************************************

2. "NO I CANNOT SKIP A LESSON" 

for any non-equestrian who is friends with an equestrian i feel for you big time, bud.

to you riding must seem so pointless but your instance that "it's just a lesson" is not gonna make me wanna hang out with you more than my horse...

k' bye

3. RIDING ATTIRE IN PUBLIC

we all know that signature look of 'what the hell' and 'omg weirdo alert' you get when you wear your breeches, skin tight leather boots and polo around Walmart 

yes i know i look like a crack head 

& yes i know i have the worst helmet hair 

but please refrain from pointing & laughing! 

***************************************************************************************************************

4. MAKING EYE CONTACT WITH THE JUGDE 

time to put the fakest & biggest smile possible on.....

*************************************************************************************************************

5. ROLLERS!!

when you just finish grooming and bathing your horse to absolute perfection 

aannndd the moment he sets foot in his pasture he ROOOLLLLLSSSSS

no non-equestrian will understand the true pain...

************************************************************************************************************

6. I HATE SUMMER

apparently someone had the bright idea to make show attire; stuffy black, long sleved coats, skin tight pants, black leather boots, black helmets and GLOVES..... 

AND THEN THEY DECIDED "SURE LET'S PUT ALL THE SHOWS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SUMMER HEAT"

?!?!??!!??!!?

don't even get me started on tan lines.....
