like to get things for nothing and on FarmVille it’s the difference between levelling up faster and gaining additional bonuses and coins to ensure you farm does the best it can and make playing very rewarding. The first tip is to have at least 20 horses and of course a stable. Take all of your horses out of the stable and wait until one of them is at 35% ready to be harvested. Replace all the other horses into the stable, starting with the most unique horses first and the stable will then be ready to harvest. Make sure you put in a stallion or two as well. You can do this as often as you like provided you keep a couple of horses outside of the stable that are around 35% or more and rotate them...

Currently, for instance the list goes something like this: learn horseback riding, learn HTML, learn the guitar, finish reading Ulysses. As you can see, I have varied interests, but that's not the point. The point is, there were times in my life when the list would get large, bulky and unwieldy.

Since I began endurance riding about 10 years ago I have been asked many questions. Many of these questions had to do with which rides do I like best, how to do something and in general things you could find in a book or by trial and error. Recently, I had the fortunate experience of introducing someone new to the sport of endurance riding and was asked the toughest question yet, "Why?" I began to realize that putting this into words would take some time to collect my thoughts. Sure we all know "why" we love it, but when you have to put it into words, how can we do it justice? My family has asked me this very same question. Some of them think I am crazy (and the others know I am). They just don't...
