The Idea of Order: Horse Order Form…

If only it were this easy.

Presented by:

Being just outside of Ocala, and following many of the equestrian groups, means that I see my fair share of ISO and For Sale ads.
 
Some make me laugh, others make me cringe, but nearly all of them make me wonder how anyone ever successfully buys or sells horses without a hefty dose of luck and perhaps some whiskey. 🤔😂

 


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 15-year-old Dutch gelding, and Milona DG, an 8 year old KWPN chestnut mare (you can make your own inferences there…).
