Never would I have imagined
quoting horseman Ray Hunt, but… its 2024 and the world dang sure could use an approach to get real results, not just woke words that pander to folks (or horses) feelings and set them up for failure and misery later in life. That’s not leadership or being nice, that’s cruelty and selfishness.

After all horsemanship isn’t just a way to train a horse, it’s everything we do with our horses and in our own lives.

And we got to remember… the emphasis and focus FIRST is on making the right thing easy. Then it’s not making the wrong thing- impossible (that in itself is impossible). It’s making the wrong thing hard.

Cheers to Ray and Elon 🥃
Here’s to making this world a better place for all.

Facts over feelings.

Dear horse industry,

there is a lot we can be learning from Simone Biles.

As most of the world knows, at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, Simone Biles decided to pull herself from the competition and received backlash of all sorts from all kinds of kinds for being a "quitter," "letting her country down," and so much hate from people who really didn't give a rats a** about women's gymnastics before she stepped down.

Simone Biles has come back 4 years later and has absolutely dominated. Simone (and her team) secured an Olympic gold medal this week in Paris, France.

What can we as equestrians learn from a small woman who flips in the air with such tremendous power?

1. Put yourself first

Simone pulled herself from competition because of a condition called "the twisties" which causes a gymnast to lose track of where they are in the air while performing maneuvers. It was a huge safety risk to compete with this. She had to prioritize her health before any other goals for herself or her team.

As horsemen, we need to acknowledge when we are not at our best and know when to step away from the barn, the ride, or even a competition.

2. People talk

Simone is one of the most decorated gymnasts of all time. She has a laundry list of world championships, skills named after her, national titles, and now two Olympic all-around titles.

You can be the kindest, most talented, most beautiful, most helpful individual and you will still have folks talking about all of your shortcomings. People will create reasons to not like you, and as an athlete you need to acknowledge that and not dwell on it.

There are so many strangers on the internet that will spit on Simone's name at any given opportunity and their only achievements in life are an average office job and professional couch jockeying.

The horse community is known for this kind of behavior and it can wear a person down fast.

3. Perfect hair doesn't equal a perfect score

So many trainers/coaches/parents get so wrapped up in having the perfect hair/bun/shirt etc. Simone had several flyaways while competing this week and still came out with stellar scores. The judges are not judging your hairstyle folks, just make sure it's not in the way of your back number and we really will not be looking twice.

4. Slowing down doesn't mean quitting

I am certain there was a lot of work put in to get Simone past "the twisties" and back to performing her stunning skills. When I have a horse struggling with a maneuver we go back to the basics to fix the issue before we ask the horse to perform at their full potential again.

This can be frustrating when your trainer tells you "I had to back off of your horse some" or "Hey, we're going to work on boring beginner exercise #3 today." All of this is part of the process and it doesn't mean you or your horse will be stuck their forever. Set backs are a normal part of an athlete's journey.

5. Build others up

Simone has encouraged many women gymnasts such as Jordan Chiles who competed alongside her at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. Jordan was invited by Simone to join her at her gym.

The equine industry is terrible about putting others down and being downright rude. Every single youth, amateur, and trainer is human. No one knows everything, everyone can teach you something.

The more we collectively work to create a community of competition AND encouragement, the better the horse industry will be for everyone.

☀️Sunshine, 🐴 Ponies, and 🤠Kids!
It was a great day - we made unicorn windchimes, experienced ba****ck riding, rode in the arena and went for a short walk on the trails, decorated water bottles and had ice cream. It’s always nice to see the kids helping each other and watching their confidence grow and their skills improve.

Beneath the sky of endless blue, I whisper now my last adieu. To my dear pony, brave and kind, In heart and soul, forever mine.

Your gentle eyes, your loyal grace, In dreams, I still see your face. Through fields of green we used to roam, With you, I always felt at home.

No more we'll race the morning sun, Our earthly journey now is done. But in my heart, you gallop free, In every beat, you're here with me.

I'll treasure all the times we shared, The love we built, the ways you cared. Though you have gone, your spirit stays, A light within my darkest days.

So rest, dear friend, beneath the sky, Your memory will never die. In every breeze and whispered pine, I feel your presence, sweet and fine.
