hunterseat df: Hunter Seat Equitation is a division that is judged on the ability and the style of the rider. The riders can be judged both over fences and on the flat.

Although true, hunters DO eat, at least the skilled ones do, my name derives from the world of horses.

And because the word hunter is in my name, people automatically think I'm a guy. Not even close.

Whenever I meet someone named Hunter I have to bite my tongue to keep from saying "That's my name, too!"

Don't be skeert

Posted 07-09-2017 at 02:24 PM by hunterseat (Keeping it Kind)

Something happened to me late last night as I sat in the dark of the living room unable to sleep. Something kind of scary.

There's so much going on in my life right now with retirement looming in a matter of years. Okay maybe 6 years but I'm still jockeying for the best possible position. It's a little scary.

This relationship - ugh. A man who has a couple of failed marriages, but then so do I. And he says "I'm not very good at relationships." And my question...

Muscle Memory Saves the Day!

Posted 06-23-2017 at 06:28 PM by hunterseat (Keeping it Kind)

Actually, muscle memory will save your life. Did you even know you have muscle memory?

One of my favorite examples is the seasoned driver, possibly middle age, been driving for decades. I'll assume you join me in that category.
You're driving down a street, cars parked on both sides. Automatically your brain is scanning for pedestrians who will magically appear between the cars. You're distracted by a party going on in the park to the left. You nod approvingly at the convertible...

ToMAYto, ToMAHto, it's still a BLT.

Have you ever thought of something one way your whole life and suddenly find out you had it wrong? I think it happens to avid readers who have increasing vocabularies. They see these new words used and understand the context but never actually hear them pronounced. One day, during a conversation, they confidently use the word. If the listener doesn’t know better, they accept the word, understanding the meaning, and have a mispronunciation cemented into their brain.

A crooked-tailed cat

Posted 04-26-2017 at 06:45 PM by hunterseat (Keeping it Kind)

I know it seems like I have a lot of animal stories and a lot of God stories but the theory is to write about what ya know! I absolutely love my pets.

Our little Leland kitty has been through it. We got him from a rescue while we lived on Oahu. There were about 400 cats at that rescue and they had Leland at a pet store adoption fair.

Once we got him home we realized he wasn't a well kitty. His whole head was filled with....yuck. He had trouble breathing and when...

Hang paper and litter

Posted 03-19-2017 at 07:10 AM by hunterseat (Keeping it Kind)

"Hang paper" is a term I became familiar with during my brief experience with unions. One union in particular. I was a civilian technician in a reserve military unit.

Someone thought it would be a good idea to nominate me for a position in the union and I thought "sure, why not?" So I attended training. Oddly enough the experience was never documented on my resume.

There are good things about unions, especially protecting workers against unfair...
