“Remember why you started “ ( this is going to be a long one)
These words have played over and over in my head the past several months as I tried to navigate through some tough times. Words spoken to me by my mother when I was feeling sorry for myself, or wanting to give up.
I always thought that my first heartbreak would come from a boy, not friends. In retrospect, I think the breakup of a romantic relationship would have been easier. I spent a lot of time going through emotions and tried to find a lesson through the pain. It taught me a lot about myself and what I want from my relationships with people. I’m not gonna lie, it had me questioning a lot of my self worth, and if I wanted to continue a life with horses. When I came out on the other side of it all, I had a new found passion for horses, I rekindled old friendships that I thought were lost and I realized that I actually am happier now. It’s hard to see that something is toxic until you are away from it. Im grateful for every path that life takes me on as there are valuable lessons on each road. Im sharing this to help understand where I have been, and in a way this page is almost like a journal of my senior year. Maybe my words will help another young girl going through a similar thing. ❤️
Now that I got that out, let’s move on to something more positive, and the reason for this page!!!
I love working with young horses and as I found myself navigating this project alone I was able to self reflect and as I looked through old photos of Dayzee and Chetco when they were young and we talked about all of the groundwork that we did with them to build a strong foundation for when they were old enough to be started under saddle.
Light bulb moment!!! I reached out to a close friend and mentor Angie Hughes and after running my idea past her she was all for it.
Soooo allow me to introduce Zeus!!! He is a young c**t and I have had him at my place for a few months now. 🍶 My project will focus on building a strong foundation in a young c**t on the ground for better success in the saddle. I am so in love with this guy, and he has been challenging but I think every great horse is. Also, what lessons do you learn from a horse that doesn’t challenge you!???
I will be posting photos and videos of his progress, as well as hosting some classes for the public to satisfy the community outreach portion of my project. I will be sending out some invites to people to attend and I will post it on this page as well.
Thank you all for sticking with me!!
Thank you so much for trusting me with your boy Angie!!!!
