Quiet Sundays

For those who don’t know, I don’t actually live at the farm… lol I might as well & I’m so thankful Alicia & Ruth have really opened their homes up to me with the biggest embrace & thankful they haven’t gotten totally sick of me yet. 😂

Sundays I save for my “day off” which is incredibly appreciated that I’m able to even have a day off. During the summer, most Sundays are spent at horse shows, doing farm projects, attending clinics, showing at fairs, all sorts of things. But once the busy season dies down & the cold comes in, my Sundays become very quiet.

I have more moments that I can sit & really reflect on just how amazing my life has become. I’ve had to move around a few times with my horses, all of which have had their purpose, like a chapter in a book. But to be honest, this so far has been the most eye opening chapter in my book.

As we come close to 2 years of being here, I’ve realized I can do really hard things, but I can also ask for help when I need it. I’ve started to understand that not everyone in this industry is out to get you, compete with you, or challenge you. A lot of people are just happy to support you.

I’ve realized that I have become the person I always wanted to be; a good horse trainer that always puts the horse first before anything else, a really great instructor who doesn’t make my students cry & helps them gain confidence, a supportive yet stern coach who can get the quietest kid to want to try all the new things, a mentor to those who want to someday work with horses (even if I tell them it’s REALLY hard work) and to those who just want to enjoy the world with horses in it.

One of my favorite people said to me the other day; “Ari, you just spew rainbows every day” & you know something, I do! And that’s not a weakness, it’s a strength. I can find the light in the darkest situations. I can turn *almost* any negative into a positive. I’m proud of who I’ve become & where I am today, but I couldn’t do it without all of those who’ve supported me along the way. Thank you. ❤️🙏🏼

Bailey has officially been saddled!!!! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

I have been thoroughly enjoying teaching others how to start their colts; the prep work, the time, the consistency, it all plays a big factor into giving these horses a good solid foundation!!

Way to go Alicia & Bailey!!! 👏🏼🥳🎉

One of the many things I require ALL students, no matter the age or skill level; catch your horse!

If you can’t go out & catch your horse in a field, how can you expect to be able to ride it?? 🤔

The majority of people who come for lessons have a goal of someday owning their own horse. Well, this is part of it!! Horsemanship is not all about riding, there are SO many simple, incredibly important skills you MUST have to be a good horseman!
