The Idea of Order: The Newest Equestrian Olympic Event

You’ll all tune in for this one, I’m sure…

Presented by:

This week’s comic is a retread from the last Olympics but I feel like it’s timeless in so many ways. Obviously, we all have our opinions and it’s fair to express and discuss them (sometimes they’re right on the money, in fact!) but I think we all know at least one individual who can’t ever say anything nice or who seems to think his/her insights are the gospel word despite their lack of experience in the matter. It’s those individuals who would take gold in this event.

Go Riding!

Morgane Schmidt Gabriel is a 32-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.
