Mine will be erratic too, so I don’t mind. 😀 In fact, I think I should go do the washing up right now, before I get distracted again.

@alia Okay, see ya. 🙂

@alia Yup, life always seems to get in the way of important things, like KP and writing.

Whenever I have to write something very personal, I just try to focus on letting my thoughts flow out and not care about if it’s coherent the first time around. Then I can read through it and change things so it makes sense.

I hope so! 😀 Are you?

@alia I feel like I haven’t been able to be on here a lot lately either.

Well, I was working on blog posts and outlining. But now I’m trying to figure out how to build my new office chair and communicating with someone because she’s having trouble trying to comment on my blog.

How about you? How have you been?

@alia Yup! 🙂

@seekjustoce Oooooooh…I guess I didn’t know the official name for the person that does that cuz I’ve done that before for a small show. 🙂

There are five classes for this show; 1) Equitation 2) hunter under saddle 3) western pleasure 4) horsemanship 5) costume class. Yes, you saw that last one. 😛 There’s a costume class with the horses; It’s…[Read more]

The steward: (aka, the personal slave of the judge). Basically, look after the judge, record the results, panic over disappearing trophies, continually ask people “how on earth do you spell that??”, recieve numerous complaints and take the blame for quite a lot of what goes wrong.

I quite enjoy the experience, though each year I vow…[Read more]

@seekjustice Well this show will be my first. 🙂 I haven’t been to enough shows to tell if the people were nice or not. No, what are stewards for horse shows?

Well, since it’s my first time (and I haven’t actually competed yet), it’s hard to say, but I really enjoy the intense riding sessions practicing different things for the show. It was fun o…[Read more]

@jenwriter17

I didn’t know you competed in horse shows! I’ve done stewarding at a couple of horse shows and I’m sad to say that I have never found horse show people particularly nice, so I hope that you speak politely to all the stewards you come across.

(Assuming of course that you have stewarding)

What’s your favourite thing about competing?

@valtmy

I’m here for a bit, but I could be a bit unreliable.

@rochellaine My previous riding instructor has gone on a couple fox hunts. It would be a cool thing to try! 😀

I personally LOVE the look of vintage typewriters and their pleasant clicking sound. I’ve heard of a couple ‘smart’ typewriters that people like to use nowadays, like this one. I would prefer the nice old-fashioned kind though.

I have…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 I think there are a couple of Women’s sidesaddle clubs in England.  Yes, I guess it’s a lot more dangerous than sitting astride, but of course women used to jump with sidesaddles all the time.  I’d love to go on an old fashioned fox hunt with a red riding coat and a side saddle.  It’s a Maryland thing, after all. 😉

Thanks, I hope so…[Read more]

@rochellaine Yes, I ride English. Horse shows can have English and Western classes in them, but rodeos are just for Western. Sidesaddle is pretty cool. I once read an article about a lady who jumped horse in a sidesaddle. O.O

Well I hope you get a sudden surge of inspiration and all those words in your head will flow out onto the paper (er, um, l…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Thanks.

Oh, cool.  I’d love to ride.  I’ve only ridden a couple of horses my entire life.  Is the horse show English style?  (Horse shows are English and rodeos are Western, right?) If I ever had a horse I’d want to have a sidesaddle. 😛

Daughter of Judas hangs in my head and fills my thoughts constantly, but I can’t get much dow…[Read more]

@rochellaine aw, I hope you’re feeling better soon. 🙁

I’m doing pretty well. pretty busy with preparing for a horse show I’m competing in next weekend and school and life stuff.

How’s your writing?

@jenwriter17 I’m doing okay.  A little sick from a cold I had yesterday, but getting better.  School…fine, I guess.  I’m a bit behind in my studies, but hope to catch up soon. 😉

How about you?

@rochellaine Yup. 🙂 How are you? How’s school?

@jenwriter17 Are you still here?

@rochellaine @seekjustice @alia @ariel-ashira @catwing @warrenltuher04 @dekreel @kaya-young @valtmy @daughteroftheking

I’m on again! Working on blog posts and outlining. 🙂

@daughteroftheking Thanks so much! 😀
