ThoroughQuest Acres

As owner and head trainer of ThoroughQuest Acres, Dundee Bartlett has given form to her belief in using a patient, kind approach to produce a well-rounded rider. Her team of seasoned instructors shares her perspective, training riders as young as 5 in the hunter and jumper styles of riding with subtle incorporation of dressage principles to help build balance and suppleness. The facility, with its large outdoor arena and pair of indoor arenas, anchors the outfit’s 15 acres, granting students ample space to practice their form. Each lesson program begins with the basics, such as mounting and dismounting, before moving on to more advanced techniques, such as trotting, cantering, and dismounting with an aerial toe touch.

The Groupon Guide to: Building a Fort in Your Apartment

Hey, just because you’re an adult doesn’t mean you can’t have some good, old-fashioned fun. Ignore the fact that your grandfather had already fought in a war and fathered two children and gotten three promotions by your age and enjoy these tips for building a fort in your apartment:

• Clear out some space for the fort that you, an adult, are building. This means clearing away the any of the following instruments from the common room: replica Paul McCartney Hofner bass, ukulele, Professor Learning’s Toddler Xylophone, three theremins, and $1,500 Moog synthesizer that no one could figure out.

• You’re going to need some bedding. There should be a pile of it on your mattress, which is on the floor and not a bed frame.

• Get permission to co-opt the space with a fun, fun fort. Since you live with fellow cool people and not a family, it should not be a problem.

• Drape some blankets over a lamp or stick. Do this instead of updating your resumé or working on the painting you started 11 months ago when you heard your calling.

• Put a picture of the fort on the Internet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Internet is the night sky into which we yell that we are alive. It does not answer back.
