I asked my boarders to send me old photos of them riding for a project I’m working on. The photos sent blew my mind. They are all really amazing! I’m only sharing one of my favorites on social media. The rest is for my project. (Sorry Lynne.) I had to!
Lynne asked if I would watch her jump today for safety. I really do mean it when I say that this woman is an inspiration to me. She still hooks up her own trailer, takes lessons from world class trainers that live far away, and competes. She never gives up on learning and doing the best she can for her horses. She is always positive and helps out at the barn. And Yup! She has two horses.
She has xx more years of experience around horses than I do and rides better too, but still asks for my opinions and asks that I spot her when she’s riding alone.
Meanwhile, I’m watching her and equally learning… why did he swap his lead two strides before the jump? We both look at the video trying to figure it out.
It honestly doesn’t matter how much you know, or where you have been… each horse you ride teaches you something new or brings you back to the basics again. Lynne (and a lot of others at this barn) has seen and done it, but takes everything slow and steady with the ones that aren’t ready yet.
All of my boarders get the blue ribbon for taking it slow and steady… and showing great examples of horsemanship. I honestly have great people in this barn. Lynne got it today riding her special boy Marco. He has changed so much over these past two years and just keeps getting better by the second.
Lynne is a badass horse woman and I think everyone should know it.
Ok bye.
