I am sure we have posted this before, but as I was recording lessons and payments this morning, I started thinking about these amazing animals that Morgan and I own.
I tallied up how many lessons she has given on just OUR horses so far this month. 109! One hundred and nine! (Before everyone comes at us, we own 19 horses) These fantastic animals are building foundations for new riders and they fine tune our experienced riders.
But, I also want to recognize our amazing equestrian family that takes superb care of the horses before, during and after every ride. Many of our horses are in their late teens, mid twenties and a few are in their thirties. They are the backbone of our existence along with our fabulous trainer. I have so much appreciation for this program and all of the beings that make it possible!
I am a lesson horse…

I am a lesson horse.
I am a horse that isn’t as recognized as the top hunter jumper, the best western pleasure horse, or the 1D barrel horse, I am a lesson horse. I am the backbone of the foundation to do all of those things. I am a lesson horse.
I am not loved by one person. I am loved by many people. I don’t have my person, I have my people. I am a lesson horse.
I will teach your child and yourself more than just to ride. I will bring your child out of their shell. I will teach your child about life. I will be yours and their shoulder to cry on. I am a lesson horse.
I will bring my family the joy of teaching kids. I will bring my family business growth. I am so loved by my family, even if they don’t express it everyday. My family allows others to show me love and enjoy me. I am a lesson horse.
At the end of your childs’ journey with me, they will out grow me. They will find one that jumps higher, a horse that is show quality, a horse much faster than me. But, I will never outgrow being a lesson horse. I will be the one that loved your child and helped your child grow into the rider and person they are. I am a lesson horse.
At the end of my time as a lesson horse; I will be covered in grey hair. Each grey hair came from each hour I spent as a lesson horse. I will be in a field of green grass, I will be taken care of as I was when I was a lesson horse. I will watch your child from across the pasture love her new horse. But, I will love your child more than any horse can. I will be the backbone of the business, the family, and your child. Don’t forget about me, I am a lesson horse.
I am a lesson horse.
