They Call Me Mother Mucker
September 18th, 2009
I should have started this blog last Spring, but too much web design business, family activities, and the hectic schedule of my teen-aged daughter – the eventer – there just never seemed to be the time for my own fun horse-related blog.
I am Debbie Hastings. And about a year ago, at King Oak Farm Horse Trials, there was a car in front of us with a bumper sticker that said simply:
MOTHER MUCKER
It was perfect. And ever since then, that has sort of been my motto. It says it all, doesn’t it? After all, as the mother of an eventer, I do it all:
- clean tack
- gather and carry gear
- worry during dressage
- worry more during cross country
- drive a horse trailer that I never thought I’d own
- and of course, muck stalls
If you can relate to any of this, then please, follow along as I try to tell about what it’s like to be a Rambling Mom of a 3-day eventer. It will be fun!
