Little Bay Princess Blog Hop -- Equestrian Bucket List

I figured I should "hop" on this bandwagon! It looks like fun!

"I want to hear about your equestrian bucket list! I think we all have things, whether they be on paper or in our head, that we would love to do someday. Pick three that are horse related, and tell me a little about them!"

My bucket list is kind of erratic and varied, but right now, number one on my bucket list is:

1. Own a horse. (Amendment: for more than six months...snork!)

This is the kind of love I'm craving! K and her Rocket!

I have wanted a horse since I was two years old. I spent many a daydream as a kid thinking about what I would do if that dream ever came true. It came true for a little while...and now that it's gone, I miss it more than ever. I love the horses I get to play with daily, but I'm slowly realizing that my biggest desire right now is to own a horse. I should probably set my sights on long term plans, but honestly, I can't. This is what I want right now.

2. Run a reining freestyle.

Four years and about 50 lbs ago...reining lessons!

I've wanted to do this since I took reining lessons a few years back. It was SO much fun, and I love the creative expression in freestyles! When I was riding reining regularly, I would create freestyle runs in my head to music on the radio. I like speed, I like excitement and I like music...so it all adds up :)

3. Ride all over the world.

New York through palomino ears!

I want to experience the world from horseback, because I feel that's where I can appreciate it most. Having my world framed by horse ears is one of the best things ever. I've been riding in Maine, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, Rhode Island, Oregon, and Texas so far. I'd like to ride in all the states, plus as many foreign countries as possible.

My bucket list is much longer than this, but I figured I should start here. What about you guys?
