"The best riders don't just ride – they study their horses and make the effort to understand them." - Ariat Athlete and 4x Olympian Boyd Martin

I'm in my late 40's, but I'm just getting started.

To anyone who thinks it’s too late—
Read this like a sword sliding from its sheath.

We ride dressage.
Not TikTok trends.

This isn’t a sport of fast fame.
It’s a war of refinement.
Of sweat, stillness, and writing your story in the dark.
Every scar, every failure, every lameness, every setback, every time you had to start over?
That’s your edge.

So no, you're not too old.
You're just finally dangerous enough to do it right.

Let the kids have their trophies.
We’re here for legacy.

This isn’t a comeback.
It’s an arrival.

No lies detected.

I didn’t do the study but I do know I get lots of happy feedback from you guys about the dual side pockets on our riding tights. What’s in your pockets?? 📱🥕🔑

Safety first!

Yes. That’s me. Competing in dressage. In an inflatable vest. 🦺

Once upon a time, I was that feral horse girl riding ba****ck, no helmet, no vest, no common sense—probably galloping full tilt toward a very questionable decision. And hey—I survived! But that was before I had a mortgage, multiple businesses, a baby, and a 17-hand warmblood with a fondness for spontaneous interpretive dance 💃.

So yes, I wear a helmet. And yes, I also wear an inflatable vest. Because I love dressage, I love riding, and I really love the idea of not shattering my ribcage or puncturing a lung in the name of fashion

Is it common in the dressage ring? Not really. Do I care? Also not really. Because nothing says adult amateur energy quite like protecting your actual thoracic cavity.

No, wearing a vest doesn’t make me less of a rider. It makes me a smarter one.

And no, my horse isn’t “bad”—he’s just a horse. A big, beautiful, occasionally chaotic one who reminds me every now and then that unpredictability is part of the package.

So if you’re a fellow adult amateur, a parent (pet or otherwise), a human with responsibilities, or just somebody with a spine you’re rather fond of—I’m here to say: it’s okay to evolve. You can be bold and careful. Brave and cautious. Elegant and electing to preserve your anatomy.

Let’s normalize safety. Let’s make it look damn good. Let’s keep showing up to ride another day 💪🏻🐴.
