Your horse is gorgeous! I used to work with someone who did Dressage, and it's a very beautiful competition to watch. My niece (the one who has 7 German Shepherds) has 5 horses and she does barrel racing, a really different type of horse competition!
my hobbies outside of quilt making are water aerobics (love!) and travelling with my husband. We've had many wonderful adventures both in the US and overseas. I've never been to Canada so that's on our list someday.

What a beautiful animal! I had a good friend whose daughter participated in dressage which, until that time, I was unaware of. It is a very exacting and beautiful partnership between rider and mount that requires years of dedication, time, and training to master. I love to watch it when I get the chance.
I'm afraid my leisure activities pale in comparison, but I do enjoy gardening, cooking, reading, visiting with friends and family, traveling, church activities, and caring for DH and our two Schnauzers, Lexi and Allie.
We used to golf, ski, dance, and entertain a lot but not so much anymore. And I really don't miss it. I think the key to happiness is to enjoy what you are doing now, where you are now, with people you love. I feel very blessed.

I too love horses. Watson is very beautiful. In my younger years I had 3 horses. 1 percheron, 1 quarter and the other was a Tennessee walker. I called him my buck board. He was a really rough ride. The percheron was so tall that I had to get on my hood of my car and jump on his back. My quarter horse was my favorite. I could put my DD on her and she was as gentle as could be. I miss them but I do have another hobby, my dogs and cats.

LOVE a nice clean, tidy house too & it's not a job, just love keeping things clean. Your horse is magnificent & you look pretty classy on him as well.

I have many other hobbies such as gardening, jewelry making and repair, knitting and crochet, decorating our house and cottage as well as taking care of 3 small rescue dogs who I adore. DH is kind of a hobby too as I enjoy his company so much.

Both you and your horse are beautiful. My step-daughter does horses. She is a "pet-sitter". She takes care of all kinds of pets while owners are away.
Outside of quilting, my most important hobby would be square dancing. We had eight squares last Wednesday night. Love it.
My next one is teaching. I love the one room school, and love learning things. If I learn how to do something different, I want to teach you how, too.
I do Sudoku, reading and gardening also.
But I'll bet I spend the most time right here on the quilting board, LOLOLOL.

I'll bet nobody else has this "hobby"..........catching voles. When we came home from Texas voles had taken up residence under our sunroom and had made grooves all over our yard under the snow looking for grass to eat. So I looked online and discovered how to catch them. Only caught a few but now I think they're reproducing because I have caught 16 already. They are smaller and cuter than mice with beautiful thick charcoal fur but they aren't too smart. They go after the peanut butter oatmeal mixture on the mousetraps and get caught by the nose. Fortunately I'm not afraid of rodents!
