The Idea of Order: Sibling Rivalry

… even horses experience the pain.

One might think that the small, roundish beast would understand not to antagonize his behemoth brother, but then one would likely be wrong. Of course I don’t often get to *see* them in the act of trying to maim each other, but the shredded blankets, fly masks, and faces hint at what’s going on.

Morgane Schmidt Gabriel is a 31-year-old teacher/artist/dressage trainer/show announcer/ who still hasn’t quite decided what she wants to be when she grows up. A native Floridian, she now lives in Reno, NV, where she’s been able to confirm her suspicion that snow is utterly worthless. Though she has run the gamut of equestrian disciplines, her favorite is dressage. She was recently able to complete her USDF bronze and silver medals and is currently working on her gold. Generally speaking her life is largely ruled by Woody, a 14.2 hand beastly quarter horse, Willie, a now beastly 5-year-old Dutch gelding, and Stormy, her friend’s nearly all white paint gelding with a penchant for finding every mud hole and pee spot in existence.
