The Idea of Order: The Thaw After the Storm

Not nearly as great as you’d hoped.

Presented by:

As if the cold and snow weren’t awful enough. Not that I am complaining about the warmer days mind you, just noting that I could do without the resulting mudslides. Mostly because they just provide ample opportunity for my horses to further maim themselves.

Go Riding… preferably back south where it’s warmer!

Morgane Schmidt Gabriel is a 33-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 5-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.
