The Idea of Order: Too Much Time and Money on Your Hands?
Buy a horse! (Or three)…

Then you’ll no longer have to worry about excessive free time and cash flow. Promise. 😉
Every time my fellow equestrians and I sit around and discuss just how much extra time and money we would have if we weren’t busy spending it all on horses, we always arrive back at the same conclusion: we would be miserably bored with a life without horses.
This either proves that horses are a passion…or an addiction (and it seems to me the line between those two is awfully thin). 🧐
Morgane Schmidt is, among many things, an equestrian who still hasn’t quite decided what she wants to be when she grows up. Author of Life with Horses Is Never Orderly, she knows all about the madness that comes with the equine territory, having owned and competed horses in eventing and dressage for years. A lifelong fan of the classic equestrian cartoons penned by internationally renowned artist Norman Thelwell, she began her own comic series in 2011, sharing deftly funny reflections on life with horses on Horse Nation as well as her personal website. A native Floridian, she spent a decade in Reno, NV, where she was able to confirm her suspicion that snow is utterly worthless (she has since regained her sense and moved back to the Florida swamp). Though she has run the gamut of equestrian disciplines, her favorite is dressage. She has completed 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 14-year-old Dutch gelding, and Milona DG, a 7 year old KWPN chestnut mare (you can make your own inferences there…).
