We’ve arrived in Ocala FL where we'll be staying through Feb (myself/students), before heading back to MN. There will be a lot for the girls to learn and soak in while we are here… Kaela learned about fire ants 5min after arriving 😂🤦 Also there are alligators sometimes in the ponds on the property... so that’s new! 😬😬🐊
I am so grateful to be here, but the feeling is bittersweet. I am in horse paradise getting to do what I love, and yet I miss my clients (feels like leaving friends behind), family, and the animals I had to leave in MN, which is hard. I guess with the 70F sunny days I will somehow manage 😉
Horses made the trip in good health, had 2 days off, and are now settling into work. It will be fun to be around this wealth of knowledge and level of talent. I compare Ocala to eventers as Hollywood/New York is for actors. Surrounded by the best of the best. I am especially excited for the Instructor Symposium next month which has some excellent speakers coming!
