60.

Someone on Pinterest asked me to do the 60 questions again, so here we go! I thought it would be fun to see if my answers have changed since then..

1. Dish face or Roman nose? Why?
I loooooove Roman noses, but I like both. If I had to pick, I'd say Roman.

2. Mares or Geldings? Why?
Gelding!!!!! Mares are hormonal. Geldings are not. ;)

3. Do you think warmbloods are over-rated?
No horse is over-rated. :) Warmbloods are wonderful at what they were bred to do.

4. Describe your dream horse.
He's 15.2, a muscular Bay Quarter horse with a randomly appearing snip, large star and tiny stripe..He is sweet and loving, drop-dead gorgeous but didn't used to be. He loves trails and is stubborn..he loves cantering and has a long mane. :) AKA, Red.
5. What kind of bit do you use and why?
I use a hackamore on Red. He does terrible with a bit and is more stubborn. For Spirit, mom uses a plain snaffle but we are going to invest in a Wonder Bit eventually. He acts terrible if we don't have something that we can control him with.
