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!"

Do you remember the childhood game called Operation? The energized board had "parts" inside the little body-part shaped holes. The openings were lined with metal and, as you retrieved the body part (a plastic funny-bone, etc) the instrument to be used was metal. If you touched the edge of the hole it buzzed and the patient's nose lit up and it scared the pudding out of you! The anticipation of the buzzer puts your nerves on edge, thus rendering you unable to fetch the parts. When I was very young I had friends who had the Operation game and I didn't prove myself skilled enough to play with the big kids. Still it fascinated me. If I'd had one I probably would have become an expert. Me against something. A challenge to myself.

GREAT NEWS! There's an adult equivalent to that game! I discovered it this morning when I put a small piece of bread in the toaster. Once the toaster popped up, the bread wasn't even visible. Because of an unfortunate childhood incident I knew better than to stick a knife in the toaster while plugged in. But this was the ultimate cranberry walnut bread, so I had to remove it while it was still hot. The butter had to melt and I was willing to risk a layer of skin for this cause. I grabbed the butter knife and, using that with my fingers, I fished that luscious little piece of bread from the toaster with a skill that would have won me the game of Operation. Truth be told I burned a spot on one of my fingers. The adult equivalent of being buzzed.

Worth every nerve wracking moment! Yum
