The Idea of Order: Lunch at the Barn

The quickest way to gross out your non-equestrian friends.

Presented by:

This is a retread, but I still dedicate it to all my “normal” friends, and mostly The Husband, who remain totally grossed out by my tendency to devour a sandwich while my hands are covered in multiple layers of God-knows-what. It clearly hasn’t killed me yet, so I’m thinking it’s probably helping my immune system.

Go Riding!

Morgane Schmidt Gabriel is a 35-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 7-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.
