It’s funny how artistic we become when our hearts are broken.

FROM THE VAULT: Ollie Schminkey - “For Nikii” (Rustbelt 2013)

“I want to find the beauty in all of the ugly facts that life has given us. We are trash art, abandoned buildings, pollution sunsets. I want you honest to your origins, sh** and all, because you are the most beautiful ugly that I have ever seen.”

Ollie Schminkey, performing for Macalester College’s team at the 2013 Rustbelt Regional Poetry Slam. Macalester went on to take 4th place in the tournament. Subscribe to Button on YouTube!

Horse: hoe, don't do it

Me: *tightens girth*

Horse: Oh my god

According to Michael Jung, it all starts with the education of his horses. “First dressage, then jumping”. And according to his dad, that is also the order in which Michael himself was educated. “He needed to have the basics down first. Only after he could ride most dressage exercises satisfactory, he was allowed to start jumping regular obstacles. After he was accomplished at jumping that, he began jumping cross country obstacles. This is the same way we train our horses. Until a horse is absolutely confident jumping a regular jumping course, we will not start with the solid obstacles. Since it is not without risk and we have a responsibility towards the horse”. (x)

German eventer Michael Jung is considered by many of his peers as one of the greatest overall rider ever.

I remember Kevin Staut saying that if he ever was to really get into show jumping, he would only need a few months before beating 5* Grand Prix riders.

This is actually a huge longshot, in 2008 my mom traded my saddlebred registered under Check Exchange (Bob, they changed his barn name though) to Anne Kozloff for our mare we recently put to sleep Shasta. Basically, as far as I know, she sold him after she got him from us, but I was always told I’d get updates on him or get to go see him and I know it was probably a lie since I was a ‘little’ kid and was probably expected that I’d forget by now, but I still would really love to know how he’s doing if he’s still around. He’d be 18-19 this year, born April 21st (28th?) 1996. He had a back white sock & a half blaze with a star on his forehead, dark chestnut/sorrel color.  It’s a huge long shot, but hey. He was brought to Gorham Maine when he was bought from us.
