Let’s talk social media and the pressures of do it for the ‘gram. Social media is the highlight reel. It’s selective and non-representative. It’s also a tool for self sabotage when you catch yourself comparing your worst to someone else’s best. It’s twice as sabotaging when you gauge your success on having something to post. I said what I said. The above picture is pretty sick from a grand prix a few years ago, I was excited to buy it especially since I was 2nd in that class. The bottom is that same jump from a side angle. I rode that jump poorly, had it down, and that’s why we didn’t win. I left that detail out when I originally posted and either way I was thrilled with making it to the jump off in what was my biggest class to date at that time. Sometimes your goals might not translate to results or pretty pictures but you do not have to justify their significance. Perhaps you put in mostly consistent rounds; you were better than last time and you learned something along the way. Maybe your goal was to master the stripey poles without heart palpitations or to move up a division and take the learning curve in stride. Maybe you returned to the show ring after a year off for injury or maybe you had the win of your career and are still on cloud 9! Goals of all shapes and sizes deserve to be celebrated. Do yourself a favor by celebrating your success for where you’re at rather than comparing yourself to somebody else’s journey. Success is not pie: someone else having “more“ success doesn’t mean you have “less“

Happy Birthday to our fearless leader Meghan Nichols! What better place to celebrate than a horse show! 🥳
