“Somewhere over the Atlantic, a woman in seat 34C complained about a smell she couldn’t identify. She had no idea there was a horse in the back of her plane.”

That image has stayed with me — because it captures something true about our sport. Present but invisible. Breathtaking when people finally see it. And carrying a question that the best among us never stop asking: what do we owe the animal who carries us?

The third piece in my series on changing how I think about horses, training, and what it actually means to succeed. This one is about what the middle looks like now — competing at Kentucky on a horse I refuse to sacrifice for a score, the riders who’ve found their way to us, and what my mom’s story about a Japanese garden has to do with all of it. If you’ve ever felt the pull between what you’ve been taught and what your instincts are telling you, this one’s for you. https://substack.com//note/p-193680295?r=3c6scx&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=notes-share-action

Something new is live.
I’ve been thinking for a long time about what I actually want to say — about horses, about competition, about the Eastern philosophies that changed how I work, about the gap between the sport we show the world and the sport we know from the inside.
East West Eventing is where I’m going to say it.
Essays on horsemanship, ethics, leadership, and what a martial arts practice taught me about working with horses and people. For riders and non-riders alike.
