Hey Y’all I figured I’d do a more proper introduction on here seeing as I just hopped right on. My name is Ashley but people call me Red for short. I’m an old 19yr old with no ambition or drive… just kidding! In high school I was in every band (Marching Band, Pep, Symphonic, Varsity and Jazz), Drama Club, Artist Guild, Commercial Art and Equestrian Team - I wasn’t much of a geek as I had a variety of friends - just I preferred to be at school to do band and art. With college, I completed two years of college and I am dropping out for a year so I can figure out what I want to do in my life and figure out the best route to get there. College is for some people, work is for others - to each their own. I refuse to get a job flipping burgers or handling food as that is just a despicable job that is meant for the High School drop-outs. Im currently going for a Management Internship at a highly valued Insurance Company for part-time work.
I plan on having my own ranch and training/showing some of the best horses in the world. I currently own a horse and have over 6 horses in training with me. Right now I am focusing on breaking horses to saddle and come this spring, I will have 3 racehorses to train. I mainly handle “aggressive/difficult” horses, break horses to saddle and then train show horses (anything from dressage, hunter hack, 3day eventing, gymkhana, reining/reined cowhorse/cutting, western pleasure, etc) - my favorite to train is a reining and cutting horse.
What makes a good working ranch horse is their athleticism, endurance, build and mind. You have to pair the horse up with what job will suit their body, but most importantly their mind. Its like putting an Olympic swimmer in a strongman competition, and a strongman in an swimming meet - it just doesn’t work. My personal horse has racked up many trophies and ribbons - I have a 88% chance of placing in a class, 73% of getting a Grand Champion and a 20% of a Reserve Grand Champion. For 2010, I plan on improving those odds drastically 
As you can see I am pretty much a horse-person but I do have a life other than horses. I own a Belgian-German Shepherd and a Guinea Pig. Some of my other interests are the following: drawing/painting/photography, camping/hiking/fishing, dirt bikes, working on cars and all sorts of “redneck fun”.
As far as my personality goes, I’m easy-going, relaxed; I choose when to be anti-social and when to be a flirt; I don’t party, drink or have my sole purpose in life to get laid - not that I don’t party or drink sometimes, its just that’s no way to live. I prefer my family, friends and animals - what more is their to living life then that? So I am more family oriented and not party oriented.
I am Italian and Irish, the best of both fighting spirits lol. Im very stubborn and I love to fight physically or verbally - although, it is never the intention of hurting someone else unless they really tick me off. I have the Italian attitude and the Irish temper. I am very protective over my friends and family and if anyone is to mess with them - there are serious consequences for it. So in that case, when I am ticked off, I am highly aggressive and have that “bad ass/ don’t mess with me” attitude. I may be short, but I sure do scare the heck out of a lot of people when I am like that! Lol. Its just a matter of choosing what attitude you want to have, who do you want to be that day. You have the power to change who you want to be, every second of your day. Its just a matter for me, I choose my attitude on my emotions in a sense.; if I want to be flirtatious, I will be; if I want to be a bad ass, I will be; Just as simple as that.
SO to some it up, what do y’all think would help a stubborn, cocky, fiery short girl keep on her A-game?
Maybe something also that is a stress reliever in a sense, as sometimes I find myself a bit frazzled and its hard to concentrate.
Thanks a bunch!
