Copied and shared with love for all of our horses, ponies and riders 🐎❤🐎

A small stab in the heart is what you feel when you put up the day's riding list and you see riders sinking heavily in their shoulders when reading which horse they are assigned for the lesson. A small stab in the heart for that horse that for an hour will carry around a rider who has already decided that he does not like his horse. A small stab in the heart for the horse that did not choose the rider himself but still does his best, lesson after lesson.

Riding is a privilege and something you have chosen to do. If you chose to ride at a riding school, your instructor assumes that you actually want to learn how to ride. The instructor's highest wish is that you get good at it.

Often there is a plan and a thought as to why you are assigned to that exact horse. Before you mount up next time, ask yourself "what can this horse teach me today?" All horses have something to give, a feeling or a new tool in the box.

The art is actually in being able to get a lazy horse to move forward, to get an uncertain horse to gain confidence, a naughty horse to focus or a tense horse to be released. It takes work. If you think a horse is boring, it's more likely that you don't ride the horse as well as you think! It's not easy to be confronted with your own shortcomings, but it is in that very situation that you get the chance to truly grow as a rider.

The excuse that "it's not my kind of horse" is actually a really bad excuse. A good rider can ride any kind of horse. A good rider has trained many hours on different types of horses to become a good rider. A good rider can find and manage the gold nuggets in every horse.

If we absolutely want to ride, it is our duty to strive to do it as best as possible, even if it's only for fun. We owe it to every horse that carries us upon its back.

Valley Riding Inc is hosting The Gathering Place for horse camp this week. Always a favorite week for staff, volunteers, students, and horses!

Students from The Gathering Place learned Reiki today and practiced on Cosmo and Toby… The horses were so relaxed and loved the gentle, healing touch of the kids. 🥰

Worth sharing and a special thanks to our riding instructors at Valley Riding Inc. I’m sure we can all share stories of the life lessons taught in our barn!

“Some days you teach kids how to ride; some days you teach them how to live. A trainer's job description is complex. They spend half of the time teaching life lessons, and the other half yelling "Heels Down!!" to unsuspecting children. It's a balance. Some days call for pep talks, and others call for tough love. Sometimes they need a hug, sometimes they need a push. It's so much more than teaching someone how to ride. It's learning who they are, and helping them become who you know they can be. To all the riding instructors who do so much more than teach how to ride, I see you. You are making a difference."
