Unfortunately I Have A Long Middle Name

February 11, 2008

I’m all for playing tagging games with my fellow horse bloggers, but it’s no fair when they all have middle names with 3-5 letters, and mine is 8 with several repeats. I think MiKael over at Rising Rainbow was right in identifying this as a virus. I’ve already defeated the seven weird or little known facts about me, so I’m immune to that. I guess now is as good a time as any to build up my immunity to the middle name virus. You may have tagged me “It” for now, Equine Mine, but I’m about to pass it along.

Again, since this is a horse blog, I’m going to stick to horsey descriptions of myself. Here are the rules:

• You must post the rules before you give your answers.
• After you’ve been tagged, you need to update your blog with your middle name and answers.
• You must list one fact about yourself for each letter of your middle name.
• Each fact must begin with that letter.
• If you don’t have a middle name, just use your maiden name/last name.
• At the end of your post, you need to tag one person for each letter of your middle name. (Be sure to leave them a comment telling them they’ve been tagged and need to read your blog for details).

Magical bareback
(I feel an almost-magical connection with my horse every time I ride bareback)
Invincible
(I sometimes feel like I am, after several bad falls and incidents I’ve never had more than minor bruises. I do take all necessary precautions. Always wear a helmet!)
Crooked stirrups
(often ride with my right stirrup longer due to an ankle injury)
Helping others
(one of my biggest passions is helping others learn to connect with and ride horses)
Even-tempered
(need to be to work with horses.  Comes from my experience with sensitive thoroughbreds)
Love to jump
(nothing better to do on horseback!)
Level headed
(good trait to have when working around horses, especially when students–or I–fall off)
Eternally grateful
(for the amazing opportunities I’ve been given to work with horses despite a very limited budget)

Now I’m supposed to tag eight people. But between this, the weird facts, and the horse quirks tags going around, I’m going to leave it open ended. Join in the fun if you so desire! Leave me a comment and let me know if you dubbed yourself “It.”
