I am so proud of our Aggies this year. They are blooming so beautifully. Last year was not a good year for them. So I am extra proud of their come back clout.

What a wonderful morning for an outride. So good to be back in the saddle, on our trusted Clover, and with great company. It always clears the mind...to go out for a ride...and to have some banter along the way.

Thank-you to each and every client for trusting me with your loved one. We have had many highs and lows this year, hellos and goodbyes, I am honored to share your journeys, not only your four-leggeds , but all your own personal journeys, peppered with growth, excitement, tied in with a twist of pain here and there...emotionally and physically, but everyone that I know here, have stood up again, and dusted off and moved forward, like true horsewomen. Thank-you for everyone's kind words at our braai on Saturday, and my special gift. I felt truly cared for and safe. I am proud to be able to stand up and be the trusted keeper of your loved ones when you are not here. I love them all..###x

I fully agree. I do believe most of us have moved past that belief of having to fight through it. It's not a competition to see who wins, it's a partnership, a mystery to solve, an onion to peel. At the end of the day both horse and rider needs to feel that they have succeeded. That is a win. That is success, and a story worth telling.

Get off the horse.

When they’re struggling, when you’re having a bad ride. When their antics are scaring you.

Don’t be afraid to get off.

You aren’t “letting them win” because the horse is not your adversary.

It is not you versus your horse.

It’s you and your horse versus the problem.

And many times, getting off and going back to groundwork can be incredibly beneficial for helping your horse through their struggles.

If they’re scared, having you there beside them on the ground instead of on top of them can bring them confidence.

If you’re scared whilst riding them, getting off the ground lowers your anxiety and likely, also your horses.

The “ride through it” mentality is primarily for human ego and negates the benefit of groundwork.

You don’t need to ride through it.

Sometimes doing so is stupid and dangerous.

Sometimes doing so is traumatic for the horse.

So, don’t be afraid to get off.

Don’t be afraid to take a break.

Don’t be afraid to work through the issues on the ground.

You don’t need to be “tough” and ride through it.

Softness and patience have value and merit.

Oftentimes, the last thing a stressed flight animal needs is toughness and force.

Giving them patience and remaining by their side as a supportive companion is more beneficial than you might imagine.

The mentality of always riding through antics and always getting back on after a fall is a harmful one.

There’s a quote “you’re either going to the hospital or getting back on, hospital or on” that I’ve seen many proudly share.

You can be injured without needing a hospital visit.

Your horse can be fried and not in a place to learn following a fall.

Honouring your horse and yourself by having the humility to know when to stop is a strength, not a weakness.

So, don’t be afraid to get off your horse.

“Riding through it” is not the flex people think it is.

Loopy is looking for extra carrots and some light work in exchange. He is a lovely affectionate, well mannered boy

Cross Creekers had a super morning at Se La Vie Equestrian Centre a lot of "leaps" were achieved. Literally and figuratively. Onwards and upwards. Tally ho
