What a year! Until 2024 I did not know there were such levels of love and gratitude or truly the depth of loyalty and unity within my family, clients, and team. ✨💛
As a professional athlete, welcoming my baby boy into this world meant my riding would take a break while I spent the majority of the year working from the ground. Although challenging, it allowed for others to gain opportunity and it provided additional perspective and appreciation for what it truly means to be a trainer and coach.
Too often our goals are set and measured only by how many championships earned, or getting to the important finals. Too often we forget to enjoy the journey along the way, or to savour other opportunities through the other forms of growth.
Our journeys as equestrians are not one dimensional and often shift and evolve as we get older. It’s funny to think that in the past my goals would have been filled with awards and championships but this year I feel accomplished and proud with no championships or awards won. It is a reminder to all of us as equestrians to strive to become better versions of ourselves every day, rather than focusing on the next class or the next horse show.
I am so grateful to be a mom, a coach, a trainer and cannot wait to return to the show ring this winter in Florida. ☀️🌴 I have no doubt that this upcoming year will continue to bring opportunity and excitement for us all. 🏆🔜
