Interesting reflections, there are many ways to find pleasure with a horse, competing is not the only avenue.

I’m done.

I’m done with the early starts, the 4am alarms waking up feeling queasy, not just from nerves, but from knowing how much money I’ve spent on the day ahead from entry fees, training and the diesel in the tank.

I’m done with the sleepless night before, the replaying of dressage tests and course walks in my head because despite everyone preaching to “be kind” you can never escape the odd comment or two if it doesn’t go to plan.

I’m done with the feeling of total inadequacy as I watch those who have worked half as hard get twice as far in half the time, only to be told “that’s life” and to use it as “motivation to be better”.

I’m done with being told it’s “just a 90” when I’ve spent weeks (if not months) preparing and spent a fortune to get there, only to experience the resentment from some of the “top riders” when us mere amateurs dare to muddy their course.

I’m done with a sport where money is overtaking talent, where horses cost more than cars and lorries cost more than houses. A sport that preaches equality, but promotes elitism.

I’m done with the pressure I put on myself because I spend all day, everyday watching people post their highlight reels across social media, making me think I’m abnormal for having a bad day or wanting a day off.

So, I’m done.

Done pretending that putting on a show jacket and jumping double clear is what really makes me happy.

So pass me a grooming brush and show me the bridleway, because the happiest I’ll ever be is exploring the world behind my favourite set of ears with absolutely no pressure or expectation from myself or anyone else.

🐴 leadership is practiced not so much in words as in attitude and in actions 🐴

Did you know - Every horse wants a leader because leaders keep them safe in the herd. But most importantly they want a leader they can respect, who also treats them with kindness and respect? Here at SMYL ParentsNext we are fortunate to have Support Workers who are trained and understand the significant impact learning through horses can have on humans. We are so excited to be offering an opportunity for our parents to take part in an excited accredited training course commencing in September which will illustrate the significance of communication between human and horse. This is an amazing opportunity to not only gain a Certificate in Leadership but to also unpack things like self esteem, motivation, goal setting and so much more using horses as your team mate! We expect this course to fill quite quickly! It will be run Thursdays and Fridays with info session September 16th commencing. Gallop don’t walk to get yourself registered for this one! PNX participants get access to free training, crèche and anything else we can assist with to break down barriers! Call Emma on 1300215391 to be added to the info session list. This is an opportunity you do not want to miss, one that you will be supported through and walk away ready to support yourself and others
