I had given it up for a while, but when I learned that Dickinson had an equestrian team, I had to give it a try. I\u2019m so happy I did because I completely fell in love with the sport all over again. Now, I know that riding will always be a part of my life. With this blog, I hope to communicate what the world of collegiate riding is all about, specific to the Dickinson Equestrian Team. My blog is meant for team members, families of team members and anyone involved in the horse world, but at the same time it is also for those that know nothing about horseback riding at all. I hope my blog will give insight to a team that most people know very little about. To me, the team is more than just about riding. It has become my happy place\u2014my stress-free zone. In college, sometimes it is hard to escape, and the fact that I am able to ride has made that possible. With that being said, my main purpose is to simply share the stories of the team that has made Dickinson feel like home.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">* \u00a0 \u00a0 * \u00a0 \u00a0 * \u00a0 \u00a0 * \u00a0 \u00a0 * \u00a0 \u00a0 * \u00a0 \u00a0 *<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/maybetooyoung.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Dear Prudence,<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/maybetooyoung.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-2174 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/wrpg211\/files\/2014\/08\/prudy-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"prudy\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/wrpg211\/files\/2014\/08\/prudy-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/wrpg211\/files\/2014\/08\/prudy.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I love stories.

Yet, I intend to allow the spirit of English culture, and my memories of my time there, to thrive through this blog. Among other things, I will write about my state of in-betweenness: I am an American girl who has returned after a year abroad with a huge piece of my heart still remaining in England. I am an anglophile stranded in Carlisle, and I encourage you to join me on this journey of reminiscence.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">* \u00a0 \u00a0 * \u00a0 \u00a0 * \u00a0 \u00a0 * \u00a0 \u00a0 * \u00a0 \u00a0 * \u00a0 \u00a0 *<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/myhomemendoza.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">My Home Mendoza<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/myhomemendoza.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-2200 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/wrpg211\/files\/2014\/08\/plaza-independencia-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"plaza independencia\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/wrpg211\/files\/2014\/08\/plaza-independencia-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/wrpg211\/files\/2014\/08\/plaza-independencia.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">This blog is an expression of my love\u00a0for Mendoza, my home town in Argentina. It\u00a0was born during my time studying abroad in the US. Being a Senior English-Spanish Translation major, I had always dreamed about spending some time in America. Paradoxically, once in the US, I realized how much I appreciate my home town and my own culture.\u00a0This blog is a place where the college community and the public in general can learn more about this amazing place in Argentina. At the same time, it became a place where I could go back to Mendoza whenever I wanted to during my time abroad<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">* \u00a0 \u00a0 * \u00a0 \u00a0 * \u00a0 \u00a0 * \u00a0 \u00a0 * \u00a0 \u00a0 * \u00a0 \u00a0 *<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/theirrunwaytoyourreality.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Runway to Reality<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">* \u00a0 \u00a0 * \u00a0 \u00a0 * \u00a0 \u00a0 * \u00a0 \u00a0 * \u00a0 \u00a0 * \u00a0 \u00a0 *<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-1880 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/wrpg211\/files\/2014\/08\/sam-248x300.jpg\" alt=\"sam\" width=\"248\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/wrpg211\/files\/2014\/08\/sam-248x300.jpg 248w, https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/wrpg211\/files\/2014\/08\/sam.jpg 368w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 248px) 100vw, 248px\" \/> <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/wakeupunclesam.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Wake Up Uncle Sam\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>How much do your love your freedom? Everyday, citizens of the United States see international affairs flash on their television screens, but how concerned is everyone?\u00a0 From my personal experience, it appears that a vast majority of citizens in the United States do not feel threatened and simply do not care, which is why I am creating this blog. I will conduct small surveys and share relevant information while avoiding generic political blogs of bloggers rambling on their political beliefs.\u00a0 The goal of my blog is to raise awareness of the threats from the Middle East, with an emphasis on the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).\u00a0 This terrorist group has made direct threats to the US and I find Americans unaware of a situation that needs to be addressed.\u00a0 It is important Americans care because our government needs to act more quickly and aggressively before we see another 9\/11.\u00a0 Wake up America!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">* \u00a0 \u00a0 * \u00a0 \u00a0 * \u00a0 \u00a0 * \u00a0 \u00a0 * \u00a0 \u00a0 * \u00a0 \u00a0 *<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All Spoilers\u00a0 *\u00a0\u00a0Art for the Artless\u00a0\u00a0*\u00a0\u00a0The Art of Peregrination\u00a0 *Big 10 Gameday\u00a0 *\u00a0\u00a0Brok&#8217;n Kitch&#8217;n\u00a0 *\u00a0Chomping at the Bit\u00a0 * \u00a0Dear Prudence\u00a0 *\u00a0 \u00a0Fresh Perspective\u00a0 *\u00a0\u00a0Hello, Sunshine\u00a0 * \u00a0In Between Cultures\u00a0 * \u00a0London Calling: Dad&#8217;s Journey Home\u00a0 * \u00a0Mind the Gap: &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/wrpg211\/2014-student-projects\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1718,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-1241","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/wrpg211\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1241","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/wrpg211\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/wrpg211\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/wrpg211\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1718"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/wrpg211\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1241"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/wrpg211\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1241\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/wrpg211\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1241"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
