‘Hotties on Horseback’ occurs on a convenient Friday night, when any of the adult amateur riders at the barn can get together, and are able to fit in some time to our busy schedules to take a group riding lesson together.  After our lesson and the horses are all tucked in for the night, we spend time socializing with cocktails, appetizers and good cheer. 

Horses are BIG, fragile creatures. I've always known that but it never really struck accord with me until recently. Yes, and by recently I mean Wow decided to hurt himeself within the month before we were scheduled to move to Virginia. *face palm* Read more for my chronicling of his injury.

Like most average young adults, I keep a pretty busy schedule. I work 40 hours a week, have a boyfriend, enjoy a busy social life, and of course, spend lots of time at the barn. I like challenges, so I got a puppy recently too. But let’s not forget all those fun adulting things that I also have to do - such as, laundry, dishes, cleaning house, grocery shopping, and paying the bills. That last one I try to forget about, but then realize I like hot showers and air conditioning is the bomb.

Abby started riding at the age of two in Woodside, California. In 1992, Abby got a taste for competition in Lead Line at the Menlo Charity Horse Show in Menlo Park, California.

Elizabeth is originally from Boca Raton, Florida. Her first lesson was when she was 8 years old. Ever since she has been hooked. It wasn’t until High school Elizabeth started riding competitively. Elizabeth would groom and tack horses at her barn in order to compete in the local schooling shows. She knew she wanted to make it to the bigger shows one day, but was very happy at the opportunity to compete in general.
