I was amused to see the people that agreed with my comment on this blog post and their comments as well:
http://www.chronofhorse.com/article/homework#comments
I have been reading the more recent posts, and it's more bellydancing for football players, and so on, except that now there is a volleyball player. Apparently the volleyball player can just up and have a horse without Susan straddling her, AND without ever getting on the horse, so that's either progress or sexism, not really sure which.
But I see in the blogger's bio that she graduated from Princeton with a degree in comparative lit. Now, I could be wrong here, since I do not have a degree from Princeton in comparative lit, but I would think that one would need to write pretty well for that degree- I'm thinking lots of papers and such? Yet I can barely tell what is going on with her blogs because of her ungainly sentence structure and excessive use of pronouns.
"But it was lower key as well."
"And she never raced."
"At least not this time."
"With Jeff and Nick both learning to ride and wanting to get horses of their own, with Lauren’s knowledge of and passion for riding, Jessy needed to be part of that team effort and that group excitement, Nick reasoned."
"'I am so sorry about your loss,' I told him which I knew, even though she was very old, was traumatic."
"And on the morning of the party, bright and early, there they were: Jeffy, Lauren, Mr. and Mrs. Nick Tow-Arnett, and Stanley, their clever, cute Cockapoo who sported a green saddle pad with a small jockey aboard."
Anyway, that's it for today's rant about COTH blogs.
BTW, I admit to being cranky even though we have had 60 degree weather in January for 2 days now. I am cranky because of the snow. It's been melting rapidly, but there is just a lot of it to melt. The sleet falling today is not making me any perkier- it was pitch dark and slick on my drive in. I haven't ridden since Christmas. *Sigh*
Hope you all are well. :)
