Ten Inspirational Quotes that Model Horse Hobbyists Should *maybe* Follow

 Do I spend too much on Inspirobot making stupid inspirational quotes? Definitely. Am I going to share these with you and pretend it makes any sense? Of course. Should I just use AI to write pointless blog posts instead of this none stop endless mad ravings that I subject you to? Probably.

1. Try to ask about prejudice

Go on. Do it. Go onto ModelHolics and ask about prejudice. I dare you.

2. Rule 8: Always let democracy get in the way of your thoughts

Like a model? Want to paint a horse a particular colour? DON'T DO IT! You should only go with what other people like and definitely should not have your own tastes and personality

3. Manipulate the working class

Got lots of prepping to do and can't be bothered? Need to pack for your next show? Make the working class do it!

4. Every time you fight success, you also fight souls

Just to be clear to be a successful artist in this hobby you actually need at least 12 souls. I don't make the rules, I just share them.

5. Make up new facts and kick ass and chew bubblegum

Got a model in a particular colour that doesn't suit the conformation of the breed the mould is sculpted after? Easy solve! Just lie on your breed reference, at the end of the day, none of this is real.

6. Kindness is to transcend the untranscendable

Did you know that it is actually impossible for this hobby not to have drama for a single day? Like literally IMPOSSIBLE. I think the world ends or something.

7. One way to define personal growth is goofing around to prove a point

Why does this actually make sense? If you want to improve you just need to mess around until you find something that works. Have fun. Make a point. Make something new. I dunno, just do something.

8. Scented candles are the parasites of sadness

It is actually a fact that if you are sad you can make yourself happy by covering a Breyer in essential oils and setting it on fire. You could also die, but like you can't be sad if you're dead right?

Disclaimer: Please don't actually do this and sue me, if you do you're an idiot and it's your own fault.

9. An apology is in many ways an opportunity reborn

Did you know if you scam people in this hobby you can just create a new Facebook account, pretend you're someone else and get away with doing it again?

10. Inspiration concerns all of us

We are all concerned about what you are doing. Why are you doing that? Why are you sticking a capybara on the back of an Arab? Like why? What are you doing?

Healthy Live Show Snacks

We all know that live show calories don't count, but it is January, and I think we should all at least pretend to be healthy for a bit! So here is a list of some healthy snack based alternatives to get you through that live show day (but don't feel too bad if you do end up cracking open the Red Bull, chocolate and crisps, we all know you need it)!

1. Muesli Muffins

I couldn't actually find a picture of them but here is another thing I baked that looks relatively healthy!

I actually made these for a live show many years ago, I can't say they were as popular as my chocolate ones but people did eat them! Alas I cannot find the recipe to share but I did a quick google and there are loads of recipes out there. They had lots of slow release energy without lots of sugar, great for getting you through a long drive and a tiring day!

2. Cereal Bars

NOT THE CHOCOLATE ONES (OK maybe a little bit of chocolate). There is loads of variety when it comes to cereal bars so it shouldn't be too hard to find one you like. You can even get variety packs so you can have lots of ummm variety in your live show snacking!

3. Some Fruit

Actually a nice satsuma or an apple is great on show day, it's just a bit of a PITA getting rid of the waste (particularly if your like me and feed the apple cores to your animals)! But they are refreshing so great for giving you a little bit of a sugary boost.

4. Nuts and Things

Nuts actually contain a lot of calories but they don't contain loads of sugar (so that's good). They are usually quite high in fat as well which is a better slow release energy source. Of course you could bake them into something like flapjacks for a bit more flavour (with minimal golden syrup of course).

5. Juices and Smoothies

I've taken these to shows before and got comments of "what on Earth is that?!?!?" I'm not talking shop bought I'm talking home made! I live off this stuff and my husband does get a little annoyed that every shopping trip involves me buying like a million oranges because I really really really need to juice things.

Do you have any suggestions for less sugary snacks to take to a live show? Then drop them below! You never know, I may even offer something less sugar filled at my next show :p
