Pride
Seven great things/strengths in your riding life
- Walker is pretty levelheaded and intelligent
- I am determined

- I have some good horsey friends
- My family
- I've finally moved somewhere where there are more opportunities for me for riding
- I have a fairly good career that may help the financial part of my riding. You know. Someday.
Envy
Seven things you lack or covet for you or your horse
- I want a second horse
- I want more time
- I want more money to be able to buy all the things I need/want
- I wish I lived in a place with more riding opportunities. And barns. And shows. And eternal summer.
- I would like nice tack - like a really nice bridle and saddle
- I of course wish I was a better rider and I will always wish that even when I am
- I want a truck and trailer
Wrath
Seven things that make you angry
- When I can't fix my mistakes (stolen from L, but a good one)

- I make myself very angry at times for the stupid things I do
- It makes me angry when I give into my anger, especially when riding
- People that don't listen
- Know-it-all's
- When my precious time is taken from me and I can't ride
Sloth
Seven things you neglect to do or cut corners on
- I wish I was a morning person or could force myself out of bed at a decent hour
- I wish I cleaned my tack and boots more regularly - like more regularly than twice a year

- Friday nights - I could ride. I just don't.

- I'm so slothful that I can't be bothered to come up with a 7th slothful thing
Greed

- My saddle
- My bridle
- I will literally pay for almost anything medical if a vet and/or farrier so much as whispers the suggestion
- Some of my breeches, I suppose
- Show stuff - it's expensive simply because I own it for the limited times that I show
Gluttony
