Not only am I huge fan of the Horse Nation equestrian-style of comedy, I am also a huge fan of comedy in general. One day while listening to the podcast Comedy Bang Bang, "Parks and Recreation" writer, Harris Wittels, introduced me to the humblebrag and my life was forever changed. Urban dictionary defines humblebrag as:
"Subtly letting others now about how fantastic your life is while undercutting it with a bit of self-effacing humor or "woe is me" gloss."
Since discovering the humblebrag, I've made somewhat of a hobby of sarcastically humblebragging and calling others out on their own humblebragginess. For today's Fit to Ride, I've come up with some fitness/equestrian humblebrags that I would like to use my expertise to interpret for you.
The humblebrag: "WTF, man! Now that I've lost weight, all my breeches are baggy."
Interpretation: "Hey! Don't I look awesome?! I really look awesome!"

The humblebrag: "My arms are looking so manly from lugging around hay and water buckets all the time."
Interpretation: "My arms look so good Evangaline Lily would be jealous."

The humblebrag: "Ugh! My abs are so sore from sitting my horse's gigantic trot!"
Interpretation: "My horse is incredibly gifted...probably the next Totilas, and not only do I get to ride that magnificent beast, but I have a six-pack from doing so."

The humblebrag: "I have such a hard time finding breeches that fit. My legs are just too long and skinny."
Interpretation: "I'm an Amazonian goddess with legs that go forever!"
The humblebrag: "It's so hot down here in 'Slow-cala'!"
Interpretation: "Yep. I'm in Ocala and you're stuck in the cold b&$ches!!"
