9 Reasons Being A Horseback Rider Is The Best Thing In The World
Heidi Mae Brown

Horse riding has always been something on my dad's side of the family. I do not take riding for granted. I love riding. It comes naturally to me. My family history is huge in horse riding. Here are 10 reasons why I am a horseback rider.

1. Horses are our escape

When you're riding on a horse, all of your fears, anger and stress go away.

2. Horses are lifesavers from your boys.


If you ever get a guy and they do not treat you right, go back to your horse, they cant hurt you. OR when a man says he doesn't like horses...boy...bye. If you're a man, you better appreciate your woman being a horse rider...damn it.

3. Riding comes naturally.

Riding for anyone can come naturally or it takes practice. For me, it came to me naturally! I have always loved riding and still love riding to this day.

And I'm not sorry...

I wouldn't leave the barn...

4. Riding can be for traveling

I know you are thinking of the Amish, but most people use their horses to get around, maybe even down the road. Amish people aren't the only ones with horse-drawn travels.

5. Barrel Racing

Barrel racing is one of those things where you can just be happy because your horse knows just what to do. However, you are in charge still! Barrel racing is one of those things where you can be in the horse shows and be on TV.

6. Horse show on TV.

Every year on Thanksgiving, there's always a horse show on television! I watch it every year! If you're a rider, you know what I'm talking about!

7. Any song about horses

Now, I couldn't leave you here with all of these reasons without songs...right? Well, here are the best songs about horses:

Reba- Just Like Them Horses.

Brooks and Dunn- Cowgirls Don't Cry

Garth Brooks- Wild Horses

George Strait- Cowboy Rides Away

George Strait- Troubadour

George Strait- Cowboys Like Us

Toby Keith- Beer For My Horses

Big& Rich- Save A Horse.

Taylor Swift- White Horse.

8. History in the family

As you noticed in the photo of me riding and the picture above of my cousin, It runs in my family.

Everyone on my dad's side is a horse rider. I guess it comes naturally. It's in the blood.

9. Just keep on riding.

Horses can be anyone's best friend. Enough said.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
