I just found this blog hop at Living A Dream and I thought I might try it out.
Hobby Horse Blog Hop Prompts - Week 2:
- Tell us about a special person you associate with your interest in horses. In what ways did(does) the person support you?
- Carousels: Yes or No? Which horse do/did you choose to ride?
- What sort of books did you read when growing up?
Anyone that knows me will know the answer to number 1 is my oldest sister L. She was born wanting a horse. I guess it sort of rubbed off on me. She taught me to ride, took me to horse shows, showed me how to condition a horse for a competitive ride, and pretty much anything else you can do with a horse. She even drove me around the state to help me pick out my first horse when I was 16.
I'm not sure I would have ever been involved with horses had it not been for her.
Now according to the rules of the blog hop I have to ask a question.
If you have shown, how old were you at your first show?

I am so glad that you joined the blog hop! It was great fun reading about your sister and her influence, not only on you but on your daughters as well. I love seeing all of the pictures! She is more than welcome to come visit me and I will talk horses with her any day of the week!
So, to answer your question: I was 15 when I rode in my first show(s). I did some entry level eventing through Pony Club and then took some lessons at a show barn, so rode their horses in schooling shows. I much preferred eventing!
Hello! Thanks for stopping over at my blog. I enjoyed your photos/
I have never shown.
I also don't feed my horse grain, but I am the only one at my barn!
L really did take you under her wing. This was a very nice write up.
I loved the cute picture of E at her first show.
I don't remember how old I was when I showed at my first horse show (which I think was my only show).
your sister sounds wonderful, I am betting your kids adore her!
haven't shown much (it makes me way too nervous
You have a great sister.
1st time I showed I was in my early 20's.
