Our industry is full of many types of people with diverse backgrounds who all share one thing, a love of horses. But there is so much more than meets the eye to many of these people. We asked multiple AQHA World and Congress Champion rider, Kristen Galyean, who owns stallions, VS Code Red and VS Flatline, to list the Top 10 things she loves and hates. Kristen was kind enough to share her thoughts and she did not disappoint. Check out her revealing comments below!
10 Things I Love:
1. My daughter, she is my whole world and brings so much joy to my life.
2. My hubby, he is my hero.
3. My mom and dad are the best!
4. Sushi, I have a serious obsession with it.
5. VS Code Red and VS Flatline for too many reasons to list!
6. Lucy, you all know why.
7. My best friend Audrey Paige because we can laugh for hours about absolutely nothing.
8. Cutting, because there is nothing like the adrenaline rush you feel when you drop your hand and you can feel your horse underneath you take control.
9. Western Pleasure, there is nothing like jogging in the pen at the Quarter Horse Congress on a great one and I’ve been blessed with some of the best.
10. Life, everyday brings a new challenge and adventure and I’m enjoying the ride.
10 Things I Hate:
1. Driving, I hate it, I have no idea where I’m going 99% of the time.
2. School, thank goodness that’s over!
3. Cleaning, I’m not good at it.
4. Packing and unpacking because we live out of suitcases most of the time.
5. Grocery shopping, don’t know anyone that looks forward to that.
6. Book work because I hate being stuck in the office all day.
7. Washington DC airport because it sucks.
8. Flying, it gives me ulcers because I have an anxiety attack almost everytime but if I need to fly to get to a horse show, you better believe my booty will be on that plane.
9. A horse that hates its job. I want my horses to be happy and love what they do and if they don’t then I’ll find them a new job.
10. Judgmental people. And drama, I hate it. Ain’t no one got time for that. 😉
