Too. Tired. Can't. Go. On.

The above photo is related to my feeling right now, which is related to the recent weather changes. Every year, the first few weeks that it gets really cold, my body first becomes super hungry, and then super duper tired. It’s like I was meant to hibernate, and because I’m not allowed to, my body just settles with going into a deep state of non-motion as soon as I get inside after a day of working outside. At this point, I’ve basically notified all of my friends that if they want to hang out, it better be on my couch under some blankets and involve watching Netflix, because that’s my plan until I reawaken and acclimatize to the cold weather energy requirements.

News From Around the Globe:

FEI Presidential candidate Ingmar De Vos has big ideas about how to change equestrian sports to match the modern media age.  Ingmar De Vos says the wider organizations need to have the courage to look at competition formats with unbiased, open minds. “If we want to promote our sport in the best way possible, we need to make the sport accessible, exciting and easy to understand for a larger audience,” he suggested.

British Dressage golden child Charlotte Dujardin has won sportswoman of the year! After winning individual gold medals at the WEG as well as team silver, setting a world record for high score in the Grand Prix, it’s not really a big surprise. She’s the Michael Jung of Dressage, as she currently holds freestyle and special titles at the Olympic, European and World level. Go Charlotte and Blueberry! [Sportswoman Of The Year]

Badminton Horse Trials has announced their chosen charity for the year 2015. Badminton sponsors one major charity every year in an effort to use the event as an opportunity for fundraising. This year they have chosen Sense, a charity in the UK for people who are deafblind. The charity, that has been supporting and campaigning for children and adults, who are both deaf and blind for nearly 60 years, will be joining equestrian fans at the event in May to fundraise and raise awareness of sight and hearing loss.

21 Ways Horses Change You Forever: I would also like to add “clicking to the slow car in front of you” and strongly suggest that somebody somewhere comes up with a law that requires pedestrian traffic to pass left to left. I mean, really, it’s not that complicated! [Horse & Hound]
