It has been a fairly uninspired week of running. Non running is the most accurate term since I have been avoiding it like the plague. Back to it today, perhaps, and hopefully my legs will decide to behave.
In honor of my 4 days of non running fun this post is dedicated to the interesting people who keep my world going round. And round.... Making me dizzy.
But really! In the horse world one needs a plethora of people to keep things operating well. These are "people" that most "normal people" might not have around (well. with the exception of BEST friends!) I have ommited my possee of Vets, Farriers and all the others who take large clumps of cash from me and do not amuse me in the least. I'm picky- in order for me to give a shout out to somebody (especially if I have to pay them) I must be entertained by them in some fashion. So here we go!
My Mom (on the left!) My friend JWH (on the HUGE horse) and ME! (looking a touch mystified.) I love these guys. We have tons of fun at shows together and have been toughing it out since 1995. We are the coolest ever. 
Looking dead sexy with JWH again. See why we are so awesome? It's tha boots!
The Excavation guy. Gotta have one with all this bullshit snow. My Excavation guy might not be the very most entertaining person but he always shows up with huge machines which I like. And big dumptrucks which I like too. I am a hick?
After the Hay Guy brings hay, blinds me with his sarcasm and vanishes, My BFF's and I drink a beer in the hay cart. Snap. There's my Dad creepin in the background. It should be noted that I give my Hay Guy more money per year than anybody else. HMPH. Good thing we are friends. Do I have to pay people to be my friends? No. Clearly not.. Right??
My Dad! I didn't want all of you to think he was a creeper in the back of a hay cart. (well, about that...) No really! My Dad is the bombdiggity and fixes a lot of the things that I break. And I break a lot of things so he's always busy... Lucky!I promise that I'll try to get back on topic in the next few days, being that this is a RUNNING blog and all. But HEY, every now and then it's amusing to go off on a tangent (is it Tuesday? No...) find a bunch of old pics and throw caution to the wind.
Haha! I love the pic of your dad lurking, he's even waving. Cute.
ReplyDeleteHa! Love the pics... and just realized that we're the same age (I think...30?). I REFUSE to believe though that I'm considered middle aged. You need to change the title of your blog, sorry. :) And you've inspired me to write a post about my riding at some point. Now I just have to get to the barn when it's nice out to take some pics first.
ReplyDeleteLove those pics!
ReplyDeleteYour dad is so cute in a dad sort of way! Okay, back to read the post now! :)
ReplyDeleteJust saw your blog and realized you are in Boston (maybe?). I am a very casual runner (due to injury) and a rider also. I recently gave up the lease I had on a horse due to a number of reasons and am looking for a new riding opportunity. Do you have any ideas or insights into where I can look without spending a ton? I know, next to impossible...
