The Idea of Order: Body Clipping As Time Saving Measure

You may not ingratiate yourself to those shorn.

Presented by:

Although I’d like to think my beasts understand why I have shorn their yak pelts this last week, I’m fairly certain they just think I’m a sadistic monster bent on making them miserably frozen. At least Woody believes this. Will is busy regrowing his glorious yakness and Stormy hasn’t noticed he’s naked yet.

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.
