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 it's back.

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

🌟Flashback Friday🌟
How it all started for me……
My first horse, Canadian Mist aka Misty (I’m 5/6yrs)
My first pony, Chuckee E Cheese (I’m 7yrs)
The pony that jump started my riding career Teddee Ruxpin aka the BEST pony ever (I’m 8yrs)

These three taught me so much much and has lead me to where I am today. Anyone remember the “BBC Pony Challenge”?! Miss those days. I’m so Grateful to have such amazing animals in my life.

Super fun week All the horses were amazing. Everyone went home a winner and new knowledge with things to work on! Special shout out to for her debut show on Atticus Finch finishing up strong and looking ahead to the next show. Congratulations on the arrival of her new horse Special Fight (thank you ) & Ryker won a tough Ammy Eq Flat and Pleasure. Heather’s young gelding, Quentin continues his learning in the 2’ like a star. And my own 3yo Diamo’s D’Aria made her show debut in the walk trot bringing home top ribbons in both classes. And we can’t forget Heather and the perfect Watson taking home numerous ribbons in the Long Stirrup among great competitors. It was a fun filled week packed with lots of learning. Thank you to the entire RCEE Team for an amazing shows including a special “Ask the Judge” night featuring the fabulous and of course we can’t forget for the great course designing. And we couldn’t have done any of it without Angel and Martin the BEST grooms out there!! Can’t wait to get to Beach Party next month to test everything we learned 💙

‘I want to just ride’ - Say this to any seasoned professional in the game and they will look at you like ‘Oh honey’ 😂

You have to learn to be a rider, groom, horseman/women, business owner, lead a team, handle clients and alongside all this you’ve still got to muck out and pick a broom up until you can earn enough money to have someone help you do this whilst you are doing something else to earn this said money.

‘I want to just ride’ doesn’t exist and if you see someone doing that you have no idea how hard they worked to get in that position. So get sweeping my friend ♥️

People always asked “Why do you pay so much money for your kid to do sports”? Well I have a confession to make; I don’t pay for my kid to to do sports. Personally, I couldn’t care less about what sport she does.

So, if I am not paying for sports what am I paying for?

- I pay for those moments when my kid becomes so tired she wants to quit but doesn’t.

- I pay for those days when my kid comes home from school and is “too tired” to go to her training but she goes anyway.

- I pay for my kid to learn to be disciplined, focused and dedicated.

- I pay for my kid to learn to take care of her body and learn how to correctly fuel her body for success.

- I pay for my kid to learn to work with others and to be a good team mate, gracious in defeat and humble in success.

- I pay for my kid to learn to deal with disappointment, when they don’t get that placing or title they’d hoped for, but still they go back week after week giving it their best shot.

- I pay for my kid to learn to make and accomplish goals.

- I pay for my kid to respect, not only themselves, but others, officials, judges and coaches.

- I pay for my kid to learn that it takes hours and hours, years and years of hard work and practice to create a champion and that success does not happen overnight.

- I pay for my kid to be proud of small achievements, and to work towards long term goals.

- I pay for the opportunity my child has and will have to make life-long friendships, create lifelong memories, to be as proud of her achievements as I am.

- I pay so that my child can be in the gym instead of in front of a screen...

- I pay for those rides home where we make precious memories talking about practice, both good and bad.

-I pay so that my child can learn the importance of time management and balancing what is important like school and keeping grades up
..I could go on but, to be short, I don’t pay for sports; I pay for the opportunities that sports provides my kid with to develop attributes that will serve her well throughout her life and give her the opportunity to bless the lives of others. From what I have seen so far I think it is a great investment!
