Sometimes a Carrot Stick Just Doesn’t Cut It

Take it away, Morgane Schmidt!

From Morgane: “Happy Winter is Encroaching and Stealing my Happiness! Gross. Anyhow, here’s this week’s comic brimming with equine absurdity — trailer loading, bad planning, physics and Newton’s Laws of Motion, natural horsemanship, and MORE! (OK, maybe not that much more.) Enjoy!”

Go Riding!

Morgane Schmidt is a 29-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. This year she was able to complete her USDF bronze medal and is now pursuing her silver. Generally speaking her life is largely ruled by Woody, a 14.2 hand beastly quarter horse, Willie, a gawky three 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.
