Wanted to say I also love your posts! I love hearing how you do it yourself and also how supportive your mom is. I could never imagine criticizing a person who rides at your level. Absurd people!!

When you and I talked and you told me what was going on with this after your previous blog, I was absolutely horrified for you. Glad COTH and its editors are standing behind you - I’m sure this is the last thing they want for any of their contributors.
Part of me wishes we could have the names of the piece of garbage who took a Google Earth screen shot of your work and sent you a threatening note along with it…but maybe the public shaming without calling out their name will be enough to make them rethink their actions.[/QUOTE]
I can’t believe they did that. Like really over a hackabit?

YEP.
Like many others I’ll be sorry not to read your blog posts too SS. I loved following along and being able to ask questions on here. People are crazy … . .
^ You are always welcome to PM me 
That’s crazy…really crazy…batsh*t crazy. I’m so sorry that happened and will add to the masses who appreciate your posts, your candor, and your perspective. Here’s hoping this will be a hiatus and not a permanent end.
Well, we’ll have a shorter show season this year than we have previously.
Because…
I’ve been accepted into vet school!!! I’ll probably be bringing Nikki out to Minnesota in April and we’ll wrap up our show year at the beginning of August. So excited!

Super huge congrats, SS! You’re awesome.
Which school are you going to?
That’s so wonderful. What school??!
:applause::encouragement::yes:
You are truly an amazing woman!!
Thanks, you guys! I was so excited to get the call, I started crying sitting at my desk in the lab :lol:
I’m still waiting on a few decisions so I don’t know yet where I’ll be headed, I have a couple of options in my pocket right now!

Well I have no idea where you applied to but I’ll put in a good word for Auburn and Cornell, have had lovely help and service at both. It’s very exciting that you were accepted into more than one, that doesn’t often happen, you must be one smart cookie on top of an excellent horsewoman.
I would love tips from top grooms! What they like doing/what they would never do. Basically, how do they get their horses/riders into the ring to perform and look their best?
IS it MSU ??? and congrats …
Congrats, SS!!! You should be proud. Also, have a great show season. 
We hope to hear about it.
laugh laughed love
love those blanket faces.
horses are so crazy, we just love their nuts personalities and give them love
looks like thats exactly what your blog is all about

Best advice I every heard about writing a blog: Resist the use of the words “I” and “me” as much as possible! The less self-possessed, the more interesting the writing.[/QUOTE]
YES
A creative writing professor taught us to not use exclamation points.
----- still wondering about that, the court is in recess ----
Congratulations!!! It’s ridiculously tough and crazy but awesome as well. If Colorado State is one of your considerations I’ll be happy to answer any of your questions.
Have fun, enjoy the glow of this achievement!
I’ll post where I’m going once I know all of my options… so hopefully within the next couple of weeks.
kmwines, although I was very interested in CSU, the feeling apparently was not mutual :lol:
Well If it’s MSU … you will be close to some nice shows , not New York … BUT . just saying
