Describe your best day riding (at a horse show, at home, on the beach...	There's this field down the road from my house that I've dreamt of galloping around ever since I was a little girl.  And a couple of winters ago, we brought my horse home and one day, I threw on the racing saddle I own and brought him down to that field.  I jacked my stirrups up all the way to the top hole, shortened the reins and leaned forward.  Acey just took off at a full out gallop.  Most amazing feeling ever.
What's your favorite color?	pink and any shade of blue
What's your favorite food?	macaroni and cheese
What's your favorite movie?	Hidalgo, The Notebook and many others
What's your favorite song?	Wayy to many to name.  But a couple are Hicktown, Find Out Who Your Friends Are, Redneck Woman, and Who You'd be Today.  I love country =]

What do you want to be when you grow up?	I'm going to college for a degree in Equine Studies so I can teach lessons and train horses.
Do you have any non-equine pets? If yes, list what they are and their names and anything special about each one.	I have a Belgian Shepard-Husky mix named Gracie.  She jumps 3'9'' and will hopefully jump 4' at some point.  I also have three cats, Loki, Busy, and Chica.  Loki's really fat, Busy's mentally retarded, and Chica is a pyschotic kitten.  And last, but def. not least, I have a painted turtle, Jorge, that I found in my driveway about three years ago.
Tell a story (funny, amazing, special) about a time when you were riding.	That would probably be the same story about galloping Ace.
What is your favorite show or place to go riding?	Lord Creek in Old Lyme
Do you have any brothers or sisters?	I have five brothers and sisters.  I have an older brother and half-sister on my adoptive side.  And I have a younger brother, and older sister and half-sister on my biological side.
Do you have any other special talents (gymnastics, play an instrument, soccer, artist, etc.)?	I play the alto sax in my school's jazz and concert bands.  I also played the bagpipes about six years ago.
What would you like to see on this website or what changes to the Short Stirrup page would you like to see?	I like it the way it is.  =]
