So much fun to watch Michelle Pease Paulsen and her mare compete at The Run For A Million last week. It's always exciting to see someone really step up, compete with skill and promote the Arabian Breed, they did an amazing job. Happy I could help out at the home front while they were in Vegas. Well done, congratulations and thanks again Michelle!!

Congratulations to everyone on a successful Youth and Mid-Summer Nationals!! I was happy to help Jane Palelek-Maio out on the home front with a great group of horses while she and Jianna had some fabulous rides in OKC. Nice work ladies!! I must say, one of the best parts of farmsitting though has been getting to play with the dogs. It was hard to say goodbye...

I'm currently booked through October 2024 but have some openings this winter and into 2025. I'm happy to help if I can so PM me if you need some assistance at home while you're on vacation or headed out to show.

Spa day action with a quick clip & redo on tails. How quickly I had forgotten that everything sticks to you when you’re clipping on a hot sweaty day!!

- When my instructor repeats to me: ′′Straighten your shoulders and open your chest!” He’s not just teaching me how to stand up. He's teaching me that in life we should always walk straight and face problems head on.

- When my instructor asks me to lower my legs and keep them close to the horse, he teaches me that in life we do not allow distractions and that little is enough to deviate from his path.

- When my instructor tells me "Too much hand, don't hang on to the reins! "He teaches me to give and not to take, with the greatest respect of others.

- When he yells and repeats endlessly: "Look forward in the direction you want to go!” He teaches me the importance of setting goals and never losing sight of them to achieve them.

- When I ask to move up or do more and my instructor says I'm not ready, he teaches me that in life you must always respect your rhythm and never skip the steps.

- When I fall and get back up, I learn that there are always setbacks, times when we back up, but the important thing is to get up more determined than before.

- If I hold my breath during a ride and he jokingly tells me "breathe! You are purple!” I understand that you have to let your emotions flow in order to get rid of them.

- When at the end of the course I am happy with the work done and my instructor says to me′ ′Well done, thank your teacher′′ I know he is not referring to himself but to my horse.

- Now you, you who are watching a rider pass in the saddle, keep saying that riding is not a sport because it is the horse that does everything. I agree. Horse riding is not a sport. It is a life lesson.
