Two weeks ago at work, everyone
was going on and on about the Powerball and what they would do if they won.
Since I don't buy tickets, the entire idea was a no-go for me, but it did get
me thinking. What would I do if I ever became rich? Obviously, owning horses and being a college
student make this highly unlikely, but let's just go with the what-if. It is
fun. And then of course the first thing I would do is be sad because buying
world peace isn't exactly possible. Really wish it was though. Oh well.
I would definitely go to
graduate school. I might go anyways, but at least this way I wouldn't have to
worry about how to pay for it. It might seem silly to some people that I would
want to spend my money on attending school, but I enjoy learning and going to
class and working hard to get my straight A's. Go figure.

But we would all end up putting
some of that money into horses, right?
Except that I would want to buy up the biggest piece of land that I
could find and turn it into the most elaborate farm. I am a huge believer in
putting horses on pasture tracks to keep them moving, so that would be put in
first, as well as wide-open barns and play areas for the horses and arenas and
so on.

I really really want to rescue
my next horse, in some form or fashion, but if I had the money to spend, I
would rescue at least 20-30 horses, especially the ones that are in their mid
to late teens and promise them the rest of their lives in relaxation and
comfort. Doing that would make me so happy.

Okay, this one definitely is
selfish, but I want to buy a Warmblood colt one day and be a part of his
growing up into a superhorse. He would probably be imported, or at least very
well bred. I don't even have show plans for him because I would want to see him
come through his training and then have him tell me at the age of 5 or 6 which
discipline he would enjoy.
What would you do if you won the
lottery?
