The Cost of Entry

The cost of entry into becoming a good horseman, is discomfort.

Learning is not supposed to feel easy. When someone is teaching you, especially in horsemanship, it’s going to challenge you. You’ll feel awkward. Unsure. Maybe even frustrated. That’s part of the process.

Because horse training isn’t something you can memorize or “figure out” through words alone. You can’t study enough in a book to master technique.
It takes feel, and feel can only be developed through time, mistakes, and experience.

Every great hand you admire once sat right where you are: fumbling through timing, missing moments, questioning themselves. But they kept showing up. They stayed open. They let the horse and the work shape them. And most of us are still reaching, still pressing to learn more, do better, and putting ourselves in the awkward learning stage.

If you want to be a good horseman, you have to be willing to pay the price, and that price is being uncomfortable learning but still showing up anyways.

My heart has has been heavy this week - but this weekend reminded me not to take anything or anyone for granted.

This weekend at Old Capital saddle club I was vividly reminded just how blessed we are to be able to show and share the love of horses with people we truly care about and look to as family.

The placings everyone received were great - but the moments and memories we get to share together doing what we love is even greater.

We are the lucky ones. ❤️
