Any type of creative hobby is good, plus you can make pretty things for your ponies!

Location: Southeast, Texas | Prayers for a speedy recovery!! If we were smart we would all wear helmets, but I'll be the first to admit that I do not! I'm sorry that you've had to go through a traumatic injury, but very glad that you are here to tell us about it!!
When I'm not riding, or working around the barn my hobbies include:
Archery- I did not think that I would enjoy it. My husband is a avid hunter, and his passion is bow hunting. He bought me a bow in hopes that it would be something that we could do together. It has turned in to one of my most favorite non-horsey activities. I have been hunting with him several time, but I have not actually killed anything. (Other than the target in the back yard!)
Reading- I am a bookworm. I could read all day if I my family would allow it. I know it's not everyone's "cup of tea" but I can get lost in a good book!! I'm not just a fan of novels though. I could spend hours reading up on horse topics as well. I've read so many equine nutrition and breeding studies that I could probably be a encyclopedia... well, if my memory wasn't "three kids" fuzzy.
Arts and Crafts- I love making door hangers, and signs. I do a lot of wooden holiday hangers, wreaths, and indoor/outdoor art with pallets and such. I find it to be very fun!!
Candle making- I started making candles because I buy SO MANY!!! It has actually saved me money, and I have found scents that I could never buy in stores! Win, win in my book!! It's easy and fun!
If I was sidelined, and could not ride I think I would take that time to do a fun online course! That would be about the only way I would have time since I spend 3-4 hours in the saddle every day!! I could probably get a lot done if I cut back. =]
