The Equestrian Mom With Lipstick

All this recent talk in the news about hockey moms, soccer moms and lipstick has got me thinkin’. Nothing is more fierce than an equestrian mom. That’s right, don’t mess.

She and Joker look beautiful together. I love the display of power and athletism. It’s juxteposed with the girl’s little vulnerable body. They have been together for a couple of years now and the girl has decided to take this whole horse riding thing to another level.

She was asked to join the equitation team and it took her all of about five seconds of thought before she said yes. She then had to talk us into it, and the first question we asked was, “How much is it?”

So now instead of riding for hours each week, we are riding non-stop each week. Yesterday, she rode for six hours straight. And I pray she doesn’t fall off.

I’m not sure what’s really involved in being an equestrian mom yet but I’m sure I will find out in the next few months. In the meantime, I’m going to put mac and cheese on the dinner menu three times a week so I (we) can afford the honor of being an equestrian mom – with lipstick.
