The sunshine award is for people who "positively and creatively inspire others in the blogosphere". The nominee of this award must do the following, thank the person who nominated them, nominate 10 bloggers of their own, answer the 10 questions given to you, post them, and add the Sunshine Award Button to the blog.
1. Mares or Geldings? Geldings all the way. I used to think I'd want to have a mare someday, but the more dealings I have with them, the more I'm happy Walker is a man.
2. English or Western? English. Although Walker does Western better. Maybe since I never got to do any English as a child, that has fueled my whole "go English or go home" mentality these days. Poor Walker. I'll probably let him become a Western pony again someday, and I think Western will always have a fond place in my heart - kind of like my safe zone.
3. Do you prefer younger or older horses? I don't really know how to answer this question.
4. Have you trained a horse from ground zero? No. I would like to do that someday, but I fear I am not consistent or patient enough for this. However, considering that we "train" our horses every time we ride, maybe I'm more patient than I think I am.
5. Do you prefer riding or groundwork? I prefer riding 100%, but I admit that I really should do more groundwork. My barn is super groundwork oriented, and groundwork is a big thing in the Western world. You really see the benefit with the horses, and I think that if I ever trained a horse, I would force myself to focus on this aspect more.
6. Do you board your horse or keep him at home? I board him but someday I hope that I will have a quiet little farm where he can have acres and acres to retire on.
7. Do you use all natural things or just commercial stuff (the products you use)? I use whatever I can get my hands on. And whatever I like.
8. All tacked up or bareback? Ummm, depends on my mood but usually tack. I ride bareback when I'm too lazy to tack or cooling down. I probably should do it more because it really shows me my weaknesses.
9. Equestrian role model? Ian Millar. Always my answer.
10. What's your one main goal while being in the horse world? I don't know if I have a "main goal" other than to be the best horsewoman I can be. I don't need to go to the Olympics, but I want to make sure that I have the abilities to do all that I desire, if that makes any sense.
Because, as I said, the Sunshine Award has already made the rounds through the blogosphere, I'm not going to throw out any nominations (and also since this is like two weeks later than everyone else). I'll just say that if I follow your blog, you're probably already doling out plenty of sunshine. :)
