“Don't waste words on people who deserve your silence. Sometimes the most poweful thing you can say
is nothing at all.”

We see you.⁣
⁣
We see how hard you work… How much you pour into your horses. Your family. Your friends.⁣ Your relationships.
⁣
We see the deep love and empathy you hold for those around you, even in times when it causes excruciating pain.⁣
⁣
You’re doing good work, and you deserve to be proud of yourself.⁣
⁣
You don’t have to be perfect before you can be content with who you are, and how you exist in the world.⁣
⁣
You are worthy. You are loved. You are seen. ⁣
⁣
Just as you are now.⁣
⁣
Love,⁣
⁣

This was the challenge for my student today. Not only did it put her hands in the right place, and organized her arms in a way that I could have never explained it better, it gave her a real feeling of feeling the bit connected to her ring fingers.

Distinguish the difference between what you WANT to do and what you know you NEED to do and then do what is right.

Do the thing that will help you reach your goals.

Do the thing that challenges you.

They don’t care.

That’s how I explain horses to potential new owners who inquire with me for advice. I don’t ever want to discourage someone from the adventure of owning horses. But I feel it is my responsibility as a horse woman to look out for their future horses by giving them the harsh reality.

They don’t care if you’re sick.
They don’t care if it’s 0 degrees
They don’t care if you don’t have the money this month.
They don’t care if you’re tired.
They don’t care if you had other plans.
They don’t care if it’s the holidays.
They don’t care if you’re at work.
They don’t care if it’s the middle of the night.

They depend on you. They need fed, every day multiple times a day. They need their stalls cleaned / turned out, every day. They need you to bust ice on freezing days, and bring extra water on hot ones. They need you to care for them when they’re sick, and they are FRAGILE. Seriously, they spend 75% of their life trying to die and vet bills are expensive.

But, it will be your greatest adventure. The right horse will care about you. They will care for you on days you need it most.

So, take lessons, come over and hang out with your horse friends for a day, volunteer to help them out. Make sure it’s something you want to commit to because they didn’t ask to be in your care.

Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.
