Your horse is beautiful! I always wanted to try Dressage but there just isn't the opportunity in my little town. Surrounded by rodeo people ;)

You could start a trend.... Yes, Smint is quite the horse. I'm bummed he's not still 100% sound, it took a lot of wind out of my sails.

Hey I forgot to say how beautiful some of the photography posted is. You guys have some serious talent.

Gosh, I feel so untalented here. You guys are all amazing.

My hobbies are my animals, kids, I like to play some mindless games at times. I love to read about true crime. Before I had kids, more time, and better vision, I did enjoy doing cros-stitch and ceramics. I cannot see nearly as well any more so I find it upsetting to try to do what I enjoy doing, so would rather read the net for a while.

I follow a bunch of cases, like missing/murdered kids, missing people. I guess my interest is what makes the doer of these crimes tick. How do I wake up every day and never think of ever hurting a fly, but then there are others who do such horrible things.

I became obsessed with true crime right after 911 happened. My kids were very small then and I was very upset with the fact that if I had been there with my kids, I would not have been able to protect them, and since then, I am like a sponge and have to read all about what is out there and possible so I can protect them. Weird, I know.

Other than that, I love stupid reality shows, American Idol is my fav, So You Think You Can Dance, and many others.

I like flying airplanes, photography, and travel. The airplanes part is the expression of my desire to be a bird. I fly sailplanes and have flown with hawks and eagles. On one flight I flew head on right past 3 bald eagles (pair and juvenile) 20 feet off my wingtip in Pennsylvania.

Especially enjoy bird photography.

Haha! Miss Euphoria I like your hobbies best.

I am a huge video gamer myself (my biggest hobby!) :)

I fly as well - will have my PPL sometime before the year is over.

I love to rollerblade (played roller hockey for three years when I was in school)

Guns are a great hobby of mine. You can find me at the range on all the nice weather weekends!
