Before you show a horse competitively, you must take lots and lots of riding lessons. These lessons occur early on Friday mornings, when the rest of Princeton is snuggled, quiet in their little beds, sleeping off Thursday night's shenanigans. Instead of booting, you'll have to pull on your boots and head out to the barn. Once there, you'll be jostled around on a horse for an hour until you either wake up and face the morning or wake up and face the hangover. If you survive the grueling months of painful Friday morning practices and attain the ability to hold up your entire body weight between your knees (ooo la la), then congratulations — you are ready to compete! For your first competition, you'll need to get to the Wa by 6 a.m. so you can be on the road to Middle-of-Nowhere, Pa., by 6:30 a.m. To compete, you have to look sharp. That means you'll need to monogram your collared shirt (seriously), polish your boots and dry clean your navy wool blazer and tight beige britches. Since it's intercollegiate riding, you don't get to ride your own horse; you will be provided, through random draw, a more-than-likely psychotic, fire-breathing beast who you will be expected to tame and sit atop in order to win your class. Good luck, and welcome to horse showing!
