A woman recently came to me asking how quickly she could learn to canter. Her plan was to take just a couple of lessons, then find a horse to practice onโ€”essentially bypassing the depth of the learning process. The way she framed her question made it clear she saw riding as a task to be rushed, a box to check, much like assembling a burger at a fast-food chain: quick, standardized, and efficient. On the horse, off the horse, no time wasted.

But hereโ€™s the truth: horsemanship is not a factory line. Itโ€™s not about stamping out a product in record time or skipping foundational steps. Riding isnโ€™t about simply sitting on a horse and pressing the right buttons to get results. Itโ€™s a craft, an art, and, at its best, a lifestyle. A true horseman is more like a Michelin-starred chef than a McDonaldโ€™s worker. Chefs spend years learning to season, to taste, to adjust. They donโ€™t rush through their recipes, and they donโ€™t cut corners. Instead, they invest in mastering their tools, honing their intuition, and crafting each dish with care and precision.

Similarly, a skilled rider invests in their education. Lessons are the school; they build the foundation. The knowledge you gain through time, effort, and repetition is your seasoning. Itโ€™s how you learn to communicate with the horseโ€”to listen as much as you direct, to understand and refine your aids. And the end result? A successful rideโ€”a seamless partnership between horse and riderโ€”is your star dish, your masterpiece.

You canโ€™t achieve that level of excellence by rushing the process or taking shortcuts. A McDonaldโ€™s skill set will never create a Michelin-star meal, just as a rushed, shallow approach to riding will never create a true horseman. So, invest in yourself. Take the time to learn, to grow, and to embrace the process. After all, horsemanship is not about reaching a destination quicklyโ€”itโ€™s about savoring the journey and the relationship you build along the way.

Exciting news, we now have a NEW AMENITY!! ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ˜Š

Check out this ElectroGroom with boost setting!! I used it yesterday on the horses I rode and they loved getting all shiny and clean once again!! ๐Ÿคฉ

This vaccum removes dirt that is trapped underneath fuzzy winter coats!! It is wonderful for when you need to give a bath, but it it too cold outside. Even with hot water and heaters in the wash stall!! ๐Ÿฅถ

Happy winter yall!! And if you run across a vaccum, try it out for yourself. Such a time saver, an effective product, and the horses love it. Best winter barn tip yet! ๐Ÿ‘Œ
