Beautiful Blogger Award (March 2010)
I am deeply touched to have received the Beautiful Blogger Award not once but three times. I received this wonderful award from Molly at Golden the Pony Girl, OnTheBit at A Horse and a Half and last but not least, Jane at The Literary Horse.
Of course this award comes with strings attached. I must share with you 7 things about myself that you may not know. Pass this award on to 15 other blogs.
Things about me you didn’t know before
- I’m very allergic to dust. Well, not actually dust but rather the dust mite. Aaachoo! Sorry, I’ve been dusting.
- I’m also allergic to mold.
- Not surprisingly, I’m allergic to Penicillin. It must be the mold thing.
- Holding to the allergies theme, there’s also Sulfa. Yeah, I’m a challenge to doctors. I remember one that got upset with me because he had to think about what to prescribe.
- Then there’s mild allergies to cats and dogs. Of course that’s why I have a cat and two dogs!
- In high school I hung out with the brainiacs but all the cliques accepted me.
- I asked my husband out.
Pass it along to 15 other blogs

Thanks so much – I’m honored! Thanks for sharing about yourself – it’s always fun to learn about people whose blogs we read. Perfectionism . . . ah, yes, there I can sympathize – I’ve modulated it over the years but it’s still there, lurking!

You’re welcome! Perfectionism…I’m slowly trying to lower my standards and then things become more attainable. Leading to less frustration and still appeals to my desire for perfection. Boy, that was convoluted.

Hi.
I just started my blog on dressage and found yours and was happy to find another struggling adult. I listened to your radio interview and related to every word.
I started riding again when I was 40 after 20 years. I’m now 50 and still slogging away like you. I decided to write about adults because there a bunch of new “older” ladies at my barn. I’ve only written 5 posts but please visit me.

Happy 20 metre circles!

Hi Janice, Thanks for stopping by. Isn’t it wonderful when we realize that we aren’t alone? I think that the over 40 crowd is the bread & butter of the dressage industry. We have to stick together. I just visited your blog and noticed that we have quite a few things in common. Good luck with it!

Hi Lee,
Thanks for the award. I’ve started a new business and I haven’t been writing as much as I hoped.
You’ve turned me on to so many great blogs and there are even more in your list.

You’re welcome Janice. Good luck with your new business. I know how hard it is. Freelancing has kept me very busy lately. Enjoy the new blogs!

So, I’m supposed to pass it on to 15 other blogs and post 7 things about myself too…? Just making sure I’m doing this right…

Hi Bree, You’re welcome! Yes, according to the rules you need to mention the blog you received the award from, post 7 things about yourself and pass the award on to 15 other blogs. In the past I haven’t met all the requirements so do what you can.

Thanks! I’m honored to have been chosen.
I’ve been reading through your blog right now and enjoying it. I’ve added it to my RSS feed.
cheers,
Mary
P.S. By the way–I love the illustration of the rider and horse at the top of your blog!

Thank you so much! When I started my blog I didn’t realise there were so many other great blogs out there, including yours! It’s so good to read about other people’s experiences from different countries and at different levels of their riding. It’ll be tough to choose 15 blogs to pass this on to, I’ll try and get it produly displayed either tonight or tomorrow night!

It’s nice to see what others are doing and experiencing. I’m starting to see that our paths are often mirrored. Whatever you’re experiencing someone else has too.

Thank you Lee…this will also help me get back into the ‘schwung’ of things with my blog. Haven’t been posting lately. I see you let the cat out of the bag–glad the break is working. It took some guts to do that, not to mention discuss it. Good for you.

We all get into posting slumps. I’ve had one too. Did you see that I even managed to mention the dreaded M word?
