I’m Al. I work as an instructor/trainer at a hunterjumper barn in central PA and sub as a sales associate in a tack shop part-time. I own an 11 year old TB named Adam. I’m very opinionated, but this blog isn’t really political. I keep most of my opinions to myself. I write a lot about my riding, training theory, and my life. I reblog mostly horses, with some art and girl-things on the side. I want to event in the future, but right now the hunterjumper world suits me fine C:Tumblr (3.0; @heelsdown)http://heelsdown.tumblr.com/<p>Mark is trying to get me to apply to this assistants job and I have no skills wtf</p>http://heelsdown.tumblr.com/post/51106130791http://heelsdown.tumblr.com/post/51106130791Wed, 22 May 2013 19:42:01 -0400<p>I hate when I turn the horses out and it&#8217;s supposed to rain hello anxiety</p> <p>I really hope it doesn&#8217;t storm :c</p>http://heelsdown.tumblr.com/post/51106012518http://heelsdown.tumblr.com/post/51106012518Wed, 22 May 2013 19:40:26 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/2510ae8d6547a1abc7f831f146ea173d/tumblr_mm5o8dVepu1rcjq6vo1_500.png"/><br/><br/>http://heelsdown.tumblr.com/post/51104045163http://heelsdown.tumblr.com/post/51104045163Wed, 22 May 2013 19:13:53 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/b9c2da42816017a1fdc99f2330388831/tumblr_mn7ust0XmQ1qzpwi0o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://endothelium.tumblr.com/post/51090726253/thedailywhat-happy-graduation-class-of-2013" class="tumblr_blog">endothelium</a>:</p> <blockquote><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://thedailywhat.tumblr.com/post/51090308636/happy-graduation-class-of-2013-were-proud-of">thedailywhat</a>:</p> <blockquote> <h2 class="pull-left title editable"><strong><span>Happy Graduation, Class of 2013</span></strong></h2> <p><span>We’re proud of you all.
