Blog Hop-ish

I guess this isn’t technically a blog hop, or at least a new one, but it should be. Amanda has this insanely hilarious post that, if you haven’t seen, need to check out STAT. I almost keeled over in my office chair from laughing. Come back here when you’re done.

It inspired me to think about what characters my own horses would be. I don’t feel like I know Leo well enough at this point to ascribe him to a character, and then I had way too many options with P, because P has many MANY personalities.

But during this thought process, I realized that while maybe P doesn’t have the traits of one specific character, our relationship does have a certain movie-esque theme to it…

P when I insist on bathing or grooming him.

And when he knows he’s done something wrong and preemptively punishes himself.

P when you lead him anywhere and make the mistake of turning to look at him.

When I have a crazy idea (usually for a contest).

My face whenever P does something cute.

Whenever we hang together in the pasture or stall. He’s definitely a cuddler.

When I ride Leo first, then go get P second.

P in dressage warmup.

P going into stadium.

Me bribing P to jump all the jumps on XC.

After Trainer B rides him.

Whenever we have a great ride (usually the ride after Trainer B).

Vs when he gets us eliminated on XC.

And the next time I see him after said elimination.

Me threatening P before we jump anything.

How others see us.

When a friend of a friend wanted to lease him.

And me after almost going through with it, but ultimately not.

And lastly- the most perfect gif EVER to describe our twisted relationship (again, I’m clearly Ryan Gosling).
