Obsessive and not sorry about it
I don’t own a horse (yet) but all the horses at the stable are my babies, they are MY horses. I know the owners of the horses are the authorities of what happens to a horse, etc., but I feel so emotionally attached. Especially to certain ones. Two Geldings in particular have stolen my heart, one of them being the shyest and the other being the most gregarious, naughty horse. The naughty horse has literally knocked me over, stepped on my feet, accidentally kicked my ankle, kicked at me, and everything in between. But Oh my goodness, if his owner said “I don’t want him anymore” I would snatch him up in a heart beat. He’s the first horse who is in the beginning stage of learning the trick “kisses” (where I say kisses and he presents his nose for kissing then kisses my head back). Once hes mastered that I plan to show his owner although I doubt the guy will be impressed that I taught the horse such a meaningless trick lol
Just Have to Say This!
A possibility has opened up for me that I am over the moon about. And I really, really hope it works out.
A woman in Mississippi wants to bring me on as her barn manager/assistant, and that will include riding, board, and learning to give lessons. It doesn’t pay much in terms of helping my student loans but its flexible enough I can find other means of income.
I am just so shocked that this is slowly becoming a reality. I never, ever thought I’d be at a point where I might be able to just go and be in the horse world. Working as a barn manager was never even remotely considered for me, and being able to be so involved in the horse world is just...there are no words.
It won’t be easy. It might suck. And I’ll admit defeat if I need to.
But I have a chance. That’s all I need.
The fact that I have this chance, that this is a viable opportunity for me, means more than I can ever, ever describe.
I hope to God this works out. I am so excited
Hoping this next idea is the right decision for me. I’m too overwhelmed, I’m too stressed, I need to chill and just be and I think this might be the right path to take.
Sweeping is an art form, and if you dare to disagree with me, come sweep up my barn aisle. Only then can we can talk.

Time to Raise the Bar
Raising the bar for myself by taking a pause and slowing down for a moment. Newest blog post!
It’s so easy to get stuck in the everyday frustrations of working in a busy training/sales barn. I’m tired. I have a lot of horses work. Time is finite and I don’t want to skimp on their training rides just because I have a ton to ride. My help is unreliable and hard for me to deal with because I’m frustrated with that unreliability. I have students to coach. But I need that time to ride my…
