"Responsibility to yourself means refusing to let others do your thinking, talking, and naming for you; it means learning to RESPECT and use your own brains and instincts: hence grappling with hard work." Adrienne Rich 28 years ago, This young girl was put into riding lessons in hopes that it would get horses out her her system. Was told horse's aren't a sport too many times to count. Worked extra hours to be able to buy secret lessons as a teenager. That young girl was me, and yea, I still get those looks 🤔🙄🧐 when I tell people that I wash & repair horse blankets, and have designed my own horse and pet laundry safe soaps....but I respected myself, and my dreams enough to never give up. I know i can't be the only one who has had this happen! Can you share with me a time YOU took that responsibility for yourself, and respected your own instincts when someone told you not to?? #respectyourself #respectyourhorse #respectyourselffirst #younghorse #youngrider #beforecellphones #28yearsago #englishriding #horselovercorner #youngentrepreneur (at Suffolk, England, Uk) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHYIfNqngRh/?igshid=em79yeowckej
