The saddest thing I’ve ever seen…
Is a woman on a horse
that does not believe she is good enough to be there.

Do not compare yourself. There is only this moment, this horse. Your hands, seat, voice and leg, define the parameters of the entire world for this horse.

What anyone else is doing, or has ever done, does NOT matter.
Whomever it is that you look up to — or feel less than —
Is in turn, looking up to another rider, wishing to aspire to that level. So be content where you are… You are blessed!

YOU are your only competition… Just be better today than you were yesterday. Try hard for this horse you ride and try hard for yourself. Most of all, enjoy this time; Every moment. Every stride. Every cue that is answered with a response.

Cherish this partnership…
Know, that you are exactly where you are supposed to be…

If this resonates or you know another horse woman who is too hard on herself please share it with her xx

Edit - I don't know who to credit, if anyone knows let me know

Just a reminder not to expect too much to soon. Small steps! this is not just with horses but with life itself.

Horses colour vision

Horses distinguish colors in two wavelength regions of visible light, compared to the three-color (trichromic vision) of most humans. In other words, horses naturally see the blue and green colors of the spectrum and the color variations based upon them, but cannot distinguish red

The boys were a little destracted by ringo in the next paddock but nice not to have to walk to catch my pony. I haven’t been hand feeding them lately as we have some beautiful green feed in the paddocks. So very pleased to have Eddie so relaxed willing.
