well, if i end up riding stjarni in tunbridge, we will be:
. barefoot (in back at least; we're working on the fronts)
. treeless (if my sensation has arrived by then)
. nosebandless (sure, why not? his noseband is a caveson and
merely decorative)
. whipless (probably? i use it for lateral work, but i don't
think there's any of that asked for)
. bootless (*i* wear boots; he only does if kept in a stall
overnight, as he tends to stock up if cooped in)
. centered (as best i am able)
. with a strawberry of contact (as best i am able)
...in whatever division we end up in....
