Just Horsin' Around?

Ever since I can remember, I have been in love with horses.  From my first lesson to my first pony to now, I have dedicated a major part of my life to them.  Often people do not understand how much horses have impacted my life and made me who I am.  From this sport, I have learned the importance of dedication, sportsmanship, and hard work.  Through the commitment I have made and the people I have met in horseback, I have become more outgoing and the person I am today.  Horseback riding is not the most common high school sport, but that has made me unique.  I ride my horse, Rue, three to four days a week and compete regularly.  I always look forward to my time at the barn and being with him.  It is really more than just getting on and riding that I love; I enjoy spending time with my horse, grooming him, and feeding him treats.  I often hang out with my barn friends and sister, who also rides, and joke around with my trainer before and after lessons.  My mom even says she does not understand why it takes us so long at the barn, but it is just because I enjoy "horsing around" out there.  That is why "Horsin' Around" is the perfect name for my blog.  In another way, "horsing around" represents my personality and relationship with my friends and family.  We are constantly laughing and joking with each other.  I tend to have a sarcastic side to my personality and "horse around" with people whenever possible.  I believe one must have laughter and humor in their life.  When I was much younger, my sister and I would pretend we were horses and jump over furniture.  We would canter through the house giggling and laughing.  While I don't play these games anymore, I still sometimes catch myself cantering to the printer to get my papers!  I enjoy just "horsing around" even when I am not at the barn.  My blog title describes who I am and represents what has been such a major portion of my life for 10 years and counting.
