That's so cool! I will admit to casually searching for side saddles on eBay. I've got a big, old style Hanoverian who I'm kinda sorta backing down from competition (he turned 22 today!)... He'd look stunning side saddle and would be perfect to learn on... Mainly I just want to dress up and hack out looking super…

It's a girth - and no. If not properly fitted, every saddle will cause discomfort to the horse and side saddles are no different... But a properly fitted sidesaddle will not cause any discomfort to the horse.

As a horsewoman... Women who ride sidesaddle? BOSS. Google "Meath Hunt" and you will find some amazing pictures. The first pic is one of my favorites - she's swung her leg over and is riding astride in this particular picture but she hunts sidesaddle. Apparently she got a black eye over a fence but in typical…

Once again... I am SO DONE with religion. SO. DONE.

At least they haven’t blocked your access to kitten gifs! That would just be inhuman.

And sadly, there are apparently rapists out there making good on that threat and actually dragging their victims through a court battle. So. Disgusting. I can’t even stand it.

Totally OT but I’ve decided next time conservatives pull something asinine like those pizza fools did I’m immediately setting up a “benefit” Go Fund Me... And when it’s over I’m going to yell “sike!” laugh in their faces while I hand the check to an organization that actually deserves it. That’s probably some kind of…

You didn’t watch the video, did you....

I am so super done with religion. So, so done. I hate this, yet it is probably the least reprehensible religion-related story I’ve read/heard this week and that makes me so ragey inside I can’t stand it.

OMG I KNOW! First thing I though was holy crap, beautiful skin! Actually, all of these ladies have lovely skin and really need no help whatsoever.

Ermmmm, yes... If a woman came on to me, touched me without permission, and had to be told “no/leave me alone/do not touch me” firmly and more than once I most certainly would be this critical of her. I don’t care what gender you are, what your ethnic background is, or what happened to you in past, you do not get a…

I do think he’s gross, but that’s based on a personal experience which I posted about elsewhere in the comments. In short - he hit on me in a very invasive, creepy, doesn’t want to take no for an answer way. Now his lack of boundaries might be/probably are her fault... But still doesn’t excuse the behavior so he is…

This makes me laugh... Because several years ago... Maybe 2005 or 2006??? I was at some terrible show here in Seattle and some guy comes up and starts creeping on me in the absolute grossest way.... Way too close, trying to touch me, spewing horrifically awful lines... Just incredibly, incredibly creepy and one of…

Oh I'm fully in support of legitimate rescues... Legitimate being the key word. Unfortunately I am seeing a trend of "rescues" that are really just a front for the operator's hoarding tendencies. These are the ones that have a laundry list of requirements, each more ridiculous than the next. Their adoption fees are…

I loooooove Pinterest but holy crap sometimes I look at my pins vs. my real life and I just crack up. Let’s be real, cultivating a Pinterest life involves hiring a full time staff that includes a maid, a gardener, and a personal sweatshop of crafting professionals. Since I don’t have a trust fund I’ve just come to…

Awwww, ours could be twinsies!

Hahaha, that's hilarious. But don't forget dancing. God forbid people start dancing! It's like the town from Footloose up in our house :)

OMG my dog does that too and it cracks me up!

They are so quirky! I mean, it's adorable mostly but sometimes...

That is the most asinine thing I've ever heard. I have 3 indoor cats. They fucking hate each other. The entirety of their day consists of going out of their way to avoid each other. Thank god we have a pretty big house and they can each stake out their own area or everyone would be scratched to death, including us.
