I have two wins from this weekend!
I made it to the barn! As a mom of a toddler, just finding time to get to the barn is a challenge—add the mental hurdle of arranging childcare and battling guilt, and it’s a lot. But this weekend was sunny and beautiful, and even though part of me wanted to stay home, I reached out for support and made it happen. Win!
I channeled Tik and Josh during groundwork. I’d planned to ride, but one look in my horse’s eye told me it was a groundwork day. Instead of feeling disappointed, I embraced it, inspired by Tik’s excitement for groundwork and play. While working at liberty, I challenged myself to move bigger, more open, and fluid with my arms and hands, like Josh does. Normally, I hold back and be a bit more rigid, but this time, I let go of all that self-consciousness—and it was incredible. My horse’s responses were so light and so in tune, it truly felt magical. We had so much fun.
What's your win? 😍
