Kayso... I always find introductions kind of important so I don't have to explain myself on a regular basis (I probably will anyway, but this might help a little ;D )
Important things to know...
I'll be 21 in January, that makes me old. I'm barely 5'1" and that makes me ridiculously short. I've been riding since I was 10 and have never fallen off cause I'm just that awesome. I started out with western until I was 15 when I got two of my own horses and started getting into bareback riding only, then at 19 I started riding English. I had my first jumping show after only 4 days of "training" and only one actual lesson with the trained... got 3rd and 4th, had my second show a month later and got 2nd and 3rd, my third show a month after that where I got 1st and second, and my fourth (but first official MHJA approved show) in May where I got 5th in a class of 25.
I am currently in college and pursuing a degree in graphic design. Unfortunately, my retard computer (named Alfred after Batman's butler) is old and dying so even though I have photoshop, I can't install it or Alfred could very easily crash and die which would be catastrophic for my equine sports photography business "Cowgirl with a Camera" (look it up on facebook!!). I've taken well over 10,000 horse show photos since January of 2008, and if my computer dies... I might too.
In my spare time, when I'm not riding, photographing, doing school, or rping, I usually go start bar fights and watch as chaos unfolds around me just because it is awesome and I am too.
I currently own one dog, two cats, and two horses... which is severely downsized from the 2 dogs, 3 cats, 9 goats, 14 chickens, 2 bunnies, 6 fish, and 2 horses I had before, but hey, I'm a staving student... I can't afford all those creatures anymore... but I am in looooove with a 5 yr old wonder horse at the barn where I ride and if I had $6,000 to spend I'd take him in a heartbeat (he's worth 15k but my trainer would give him to me for 6k).
This weekend I will be "pony jousting" with pool noodles at the barn. I will be riding the teeny tiny mini at the barn and be facing off against a 16hh big boned connemara x selle francais... I will dominate... and I think that is just about all the pertinent information that is needed to be known about me. Soooo... if I do something totally crazy and off the wall... don't worry, I'm a professional.
I'm the one with the big black boots and long brown hair ;D ^^
