TOABH: Wish We Could
The next installment in Beka's blog hop is: Let's pretend that financial restrictions don't exist and logistics isn't a nightmare. If you could do anything with your Ponykins, what would you do?
I LOVE this blog hop! There are so many things I want to try with Chrome!
Dressage - I've been fascinated with dressage since I was a teenager and I loved the lessons I took. I miss it. It's so fun to learn and I really want Chrome and I to learn more together.
Competitive Trail Riding - I LOVE trail riding! So this is an obvious choice for something fun to do. I don't really have much of a desire to compete, but I think I could handle CTR (stage fright is less of a thing here hehe).
Driving - I have always wanted to learn to drive a horse!! I finally got the chance to ride in a horse drawn cart last year and I loved it. Chrome and I could have so much fun with this!
Camping - I want to take Chrome camping! Horses from sunup to sundown. Trails all day. Oh yeah!
SCA - The SCA is something my husband got me interested in. I was so excited to learn they have equestrian events and ever since I saw it I want to do it!!
Ride on the beach - Who doesn't want to ride on the beach?? It looks like so much fun!
Archery - I've always wanted to learn archery and doing it on horseback would make it even better.
Working cattle - Specifically I would like to go on a cattle drive, but even just introducing him to cattle would be fun. I'm willing to try anything. :D
Polo - I got to see polo last year too. I used to pretend to play it with golf clubs and a baseball when I was a kid hehe. It would be fun to do it on Chrome too. Gotta love an all around horse!
Parade - What kid has seen horses in parades and not wanted to do it? I want to!!
Fox Hunting - This looks like so much fun! Realistically I'd probably have to take some jumping lessons because I've only jumped a foot or so over natural obstacles on the trail and if the horse over jumps I have no idea how to stay with them.
Sidesaddle - This looks like fun and it's an excuse to wear a pretty dress and ride horses hehe. Yeah I'm a farm girl, tomboy, but I still love pretty dresses. It's probably the novelty since I rarely wear them haha.
Mounted Shooting - I've been shooting guns (at targets) since I was a little kid. I'm not sure why it's so much fun, but I love it. Once again adding horses makes it even more fun right?
Gallop on a racetrack - I have no idea why I want to do this, but when I was a kid I wanted to be a jockey so bad (haha and grew to 5'10") and I still think it would be really cool to gallop on a track (on Chrome, not a racehorse).
Working Equitation - I have always admired the power and agility of bullfighting horses, but I hate bullfighting. When I learned about Working Equitation I was immediately in love with it. I want to do it someday!!
So yeah there are a LOT of things I still want to do. I don't know if I'll get to do them all with Chrome, but I sure hope so. Having no financial restrictions would be helpful hehe. Then I could just focus on my confidence. :)

SCA is so cool!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you liked the SCA too!! Cool! This may be really silly but one of the things I'm looking most forward to is designing and making Chrome's barding. :D
DeleteMy spouse is into the sca as well. :)
DeleteThat's awesome!!
Deleteawesome list!! somehow i suspect that you and Chrome will eventually accomplish quite a few of these too!
ReplyDeleteAww thanks for the vote of confidence! I sure hope so!!
DeleteWhata list - have a ball ticking them off over time ☺
ReplyDeleteThanks! I hope I can tick them all off. It will definitely be fun trying.
