So...This Happened.

I entered this really dorky horse contest wherein you entered by submitting a picture of you and your horse, and your horse's "song." Yes, some horse people give their horses songs, the way some couples have a song. I think the favorite horse/rider song I'd ever heard suggested was one woman who said her horse's song was "Straight Outta Compton".  Hilarity.

This was my entry:


And yes, yes, I won.

I am more than a little embarrassed about this.

Or at least I was until my prize came in the mail, and then my inner child was set free all over again:



Yes, that is a previously blogged about Breyer Horse . Yes, it is signed. By who you ask?  My childhood 3-Day Eventing heroes and Olympic Medalists, Karen and David O'Connor.

My fate as a total loser is sealed, and I just can't bring myself to worry about that. Too busy playing with Theodore.

Hey Wheelchair Lady, I believe your song would be U2's "Who's gonna ride your wild horses?" and coincidentally, the answer is me.

This is awesome! I am jealous. Also, after reading your other Breyer post, how did you convince your husband to have a shelf of Breyers? I'm finally pulling mine out because I have a three year old :)

Tidings of Comfort, Victory, and GIVEAWAYS!!!!!

1.  My Cranberry pie finally won!  After a tragic finish at an ugly sweater party, and being overshadowed by the chocolate pecan pie at Thanksgiving, my Nantucket Cranberry Pie (which I took to the next level with a chocolate cream cheese icing)  got first place at the office holiday party Top Chef competition. I am happy. 2.  I also coincidentally won a caption contest on my favorite horse blog, and for my witty mockery was awarded a gift certificate for horse tack!  As I currently don't have a horse of my own, I'm giving it to Camp K.  I hope my mother and her 3 horses, 2 mules and 2 donkeys forgive me.  But I'm still claiming victory on that one, and relishing in being mentioned on my favorite blog in the same post as my international heroes. 3. GIVEAWAY!!!!  I was inspired by a number of blogs giving away x-boxes, TVs, designer handbags, and gift cards to the moon, but I decided that you don't actually need to be rich to share the love.  Therefore, I am announc

MotherMare

There is no getting around it: I was indoctrinated at a very young age. I was the baby, and I was the last chance mom had for early imprinting of equine addition (EIEA, pronounced EEEAAAAHHHH!!!) Some people say that it's something you grow into or learn- that it can be cured, that it's a temptation or a lifestyle.  While my mother's imprinting certainly aided the illness, I can't help but feel that somehow, in someway, I was born this way.   Ergo, my equine birthday tribute to my equine mother- the best kind of tribute.     Mom, this shirt is wildly awesome, and if you still own it, you should still wear it. I think I have that hat now. Let me know when you want it back.  Little did you know then that I would steal the hat right off your head, did you?  Also, you look exactly the same. Gorgeous-like.  (also, don't be embarrassed, because I am totally about to embarrass me too, and then we're even.)   The horse that started it all. Mom won't mind that s
