My second career

When I finally retire from my current vocational path, you may just find me at this equestrian estate in New York.  Come fall, I would be teaching my students the finer points of being an equestrienne out on a mock fox hunt and generally bathing in the warm glow from the fall leaves.  My pastures would always be pristine and groomed, with nary a naughty leaf out of place.  Of course, my students would never talk back and always be polite and courteous.  Please, Thank You, and Excuse Me would be uttered at barely a whisper.  The barn would be spic and span with not a speck of dust on the beautifully polished tack.  The horses, well they would obviously be perfect angels.  None of them would slobber, bite, kick, or poop at inopportune times, especially not in the aisles.

Some one pinch me because I'm clearly dreaming.

  3. Oh WOW! It's gorgeous! I say go for it! Follow your heart! One time, a long time ago when I was a restless teen reading romance novels I read a book about a girl who followed her dreams to work with horses. Of course she didn't know it was her dream because she'd lost her memory. She only knew she had a gift with horses. And the owner's son, of course. You should totally do that.

  10. That's the perfect spot for you (one of them at least)! It's especially lovely with the fall colors bursting. You would be great at teaching your students to also become hunters. :)

    It's much nicer than where I grew up, but I could be very comfortable romping around in all that space. Maybe add a few more trees to climb to make it completely perfect.

  11. I'm terrified of horses, so I have a hard time following your dream... even though there is not a single horse in any of the pics!!??

  16. As someone who likes their feet firmly planted on the ground (and not on a skittish giant), even I am longing for this life! Remember us when it happens ok?

  17. Oh, isn't that lovely?! Some of those photos don't even look real! Ha!

    Of course, on your lovely estate, you'll want a writer-in-residence. Surely.

  18. Some of those aerial views look fake they are so perfect! If you could figure out how to make horses and students that perfect I think you wouldn't need a second career, you'd be instantly rich!
