Horse’s barn name: Legs Horse’s age: 13 Horse’s breed: Oldenburg How long have you been riding with Robin? 3 years How long have you been riding? 18 years What’s your most embarrassing horse moment? I was bucked off a tiny pony multiple times in one ride. And they weren’t graceful, respectable falls, I was flat out pancaking. The best (maybe pathetic?) part was that I had just been dumped by a boy I’d been seeing that same day, and in an effort to lift my spirits, I decided to come out to the barn and help jump some horses. Ended up getting dumped by everyone that day. Pretty lame then, but super funny now. Best food/drink to have a horse shows: Mimosas and white claws. Most def. Who eats at shows? If your horse was a celebrity, who would they be? Beyoncé. Beautiful, classy, talented, independent. Nobody’s going to tell her what to do If you had to switch riding disciplines, what would you choose? Polo. Looks heckin rad, I’d definitely give that a try.
