Q&Answers!

Hey, everybody! I am so excited to answer all of your questions!! I'm sorry I'm late!

From Brooklyne: 
What is your favorite season? Hmmm, I love summer, but autumn is almost just as amazing, especially the color! 

What is the best thing about owning a horse? Just being there, being a friend. Riding, stroking, loving, hugging. The smell. Haltering the horse. Brushing! 

What is your favorite food? Tacos, and burritos. I love Chipotle! 

What is your favorite sport? Basketball. But equestrian sports beat all :D 

What's you favorite book in the Bible? Psalms. All of the passages are beautiful and encouraging.

What fiction book would you recommend to a friend? Hmmm, all of the Circle C books by Susan K. Marlow. Annnddd "Understood Betsy." And probably about 10,000 more *wink* Oooh, I forgot "The Phantom Tollbooth." 

From Lily Cat: 

Do you have a favorite horse breed? I don't know if I can narrow it down, honestly. I've always loved Quarter Horses, and Palominos (but they aren't a breed, only a type or a color). But Thoroughbreds and any other breed are amazing. I really don't think I have a favorite. My favorites are equines in general *grins*

What is your favorite color? I have three: blue, yellow, and purple.

Do you like rainy or sunny weather better? I love sunny weather, so I can be outside. But, rainy is so cozy when I can cuddle up in my bedroom and read a good book. It probably depends on my mood. 

How many different horses have you ridden in your life? Hmmm, not a lot. I rode ponies at fairs as a youngster, and my first horse I went to camp with was William, a big piebald Gypsy Vanner gelding. Before that I had ridden a gray mare named Gypsy because we were visiting the camp, but I rode William a whole week. I fell in love with Gypsy at first sight. I've ridden a black-and-white pinto named Tootsie, and a bay or brown mare named Jessie. Probably some more I haven't thought of. Oh, and a brown-and-white bay Paint-Arabian mare named Rosie. And I think I rode William's brother once . . . Then I've ridden Charlie, a dark bay Thoroughbred or Appendix Quarter Horse (don't know which breed) (and I still ride Charlie). I've ridden Josee, a blood bay Appendix Quarter Horse mare. I've ridden Bishop, a flea-bitten gray Thoroughbred. I've ridden Mystic Prince, a piebald Gypsy Vanner gelding. And I've ridden a sorrel Quarter Horsse-Belgian gelding, I can't remember his name. Oh, and I sat and walked on a flea-bitten gray Arabian named Shadowfax. Man, that was quite a rant! So, in total, I've ridden 11 horses, plus the ones I can't remember or don't have a name for, and my own baby, Magic Daisy. So 12 of what I can remember. Man, that's not a lot of horses! 

Which of the stories you've written is your favorite? Probably my newest ones, "Hero's Victory" and the rest in the Horse Crazy Chronicles (see my novel page). But also all of my Kate Reed stories and the stories I wrote as a little kid. I adore those. 

From Lilly: 

If you could travel to any state, what state would you choose? Kentucky, and I'd watch the Kentucky Derby. Then there's New York and the Belmont Stakes (I want to visit New York City really bad), and Maryland and the Preakness Stakes, LOL. 

What inspired you to start a blog? I wanted to share my stories, but it became much more than that. Now it's just about fun, still stories, but more of really anything: sharing of my faith, of my life. Contests. Just fun. And making new friends. I can't tell how you how much y'all mean to me. We might never be able to meet, but y'all are still some of my greatest friends.  

Have you ever shared a bedroom? Yes! I shared a bunkbed with my sister, Myla, and then she moved out and I shared the bunkbed with Nikki. I'm quite frightful of the dark, and as a little kid, nighttime terrified me. So I opp (is it opp or op?) to share a bedroom. I have a bedroom of my own now ;D

What is your least favorite animal? Insects. Spiders. Blah *shudder* I know they're not an animal (I don't think. ...) but they are DISGUSTING and my least favorite living thing. They're creepy. And crawly. And just downright SCARY. 

What blogs encourage you the most? I don't think I can pick <3 

From Elate: 

-If you could own any horse breed which one would you pick? I own a Quarter Horse right now, and I've always LOVED Quarter Horses. But I really don't care what breed I own, but I do want a Palomino/palomino really bad, in any breed that can be palomino.

-Which do you like better, your favorite TV show or your favorite book? Hmmm, I think I say book, but the TV show I watch is really good, too.

-If you could go to any major sporting event every year [such as the Super Bowl or Kentucky Derby] which one would you choose? Horse sports all the way! *wink* 

-If there was such thing as a Pegasus, would you want one? (I'm serious :-) Of course! It'd be SOOOO cool!! 

-What is your favorite horse name besides your horse's name? I love the names "Noir" and "Void." And "Cooper." And "Copper." And "JoySong." "Piper." 

-If you could live in any time period before now, what time period would you choose? Hmm, the 1800s.
