Fun Friday: 10 Things Non-Horsey People Keep Assuming About Equestrians

1. You own a horse? You must be rich.
No, on the contrary. We are all horse broke. And yes, there is a term for that. Even more, with horse poor you have a second one.



2. You ride dressage? You must jump obstacles a lot.
No, on the contrary. We never jump. Because then we would be show jumpers.
