Does anyone recognize this (25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m61…) manip? Someone has posted it all over tumblr and I would like to be able to credit the artist while simultaneously shaming the person who posted it without credit. (Aren't I super nice?)

PLEASE. If you know who did this let me know! Also, please spread this around so we can find out! I don't have a ton of followers, so I really need your help!

Long story short, work has been busy, I just broke up with my boyfriend and it was a pretty nasty break up, currently squatting at my Uncle's house for the rest of the week before I head back to my Mom's in Texas for the holidays.

However, I do have an interview coming up in New Jersey where I'll hopefully be their new rider for their sale horses and homebreds. I'm talking like, private treaty 6-figure horses here. There's an apartment on the property, I'd be allowed to keep my dog with me (and possibly finally bring my cat from my mom's place) and the starting pay is $400/wk and goes up depending on how well they like my riding. It would be a good opportunity for me to get back into the horse world and start off with a bang. Mostly hunter/jumpers and a couple of dressage horses, but the facility does have cross country jumps through the training level, which is nice. Anyway. Update on my life, not that any of you are going to read this.

This journal is to track progress for the OTTBRetrainChallenge.

So, I went ahead and made a new chat channel and group!

HorseShare's goal is to be an active community for all horse lovers, riders, artists, and enthusiasts. Created in October 2012 we seek to begin establishing a place where the love of horses brings us together. Our largest focus is to have at least one active chat channel that is focused on bringing us together through our common passion for horses. The resulting group will be a base for this community. The group will feature artwork from active chatters and members and we will also hold contests for our community! Anyone is welcome, not just horse people. #HorseShare is not focused on horse art, but on building a supportive community that happens to love horses.

Please come check us out, tell your friends about us, feature us in your journal, and most of all come chat with us!
