I think this was the dream all along...
I knew from a very young age that horse's were my passion and this would be my career but the vision has definitely evolved over the years.
I knew my barn name & colours by the time I was 16 and had the lofty dream (as it should be at that age) for a huge fancy barn, staff, training horses, my own show horses and have students showing at the Royal. The dream has since evolved in many ways, some of which I used to resent as there just never seemed to be enough funds to make the dream happen.
However, as I stand at my kitchen sink looking at this view while "The Royal" is all over my social media I can't help but think maybe this was the dream all along. I just didn't know it yet.
I strive to provide the best coaching and horse care I can. I encourage my students to be the best they can be but I have come to understand that doesn't mean you have to showcase it on a national stage. Instead I get the great honour of coaching a fellow professional's daughter, still coaching my first student 15 years later, enjoying most weekends at home, teaching truly horse obsessed students daily, owning a 100 acre farm and enjoy a 28 year old retired school pony free grazing on my back lawn.
All this to say, I hope everyone enjoys the magic of "The Royal" but also knows there is so much more to this industry.
Dream big, Dream often but don't be afraid to Dream differently than others 💫
