I’m going to try and not cry… this is a very bittersweet post. Today was my last day of lessons in Texas. I am full of emotions right now. I am sad, happy, excited, and sad again. I have been giving lessons for the last few years. I have had students come and go and I have tried my ultimate best to make sure every student is safe and willing to be better for the mount they are riding. I have two students who have been extremely loyal and I believe have taught me the most in the last two years than over my whole equine career. Olive and Grace are my top riders at Better Horsemanship. Olive had been taking lessons for two years and Grace for the last year and a half. I am so sad that I can no longer be there for them to continue lessons but I know I have given them so much for their futures to make them into the most courageous and respectful young ladies. Riding horses isn’t just about getting on and going. It’s about making that connections. The SMILES on their faces when they accomplish something melted my heart EVERY TIME. I am happy to keep in touch to see how their lives will continue. I will always have an open door for them in case they need to vent or need advice. I am a phone call away or a letter. I am excited because Kyle and I are officially moving to Wyoming. We are moving Better Horsemanship to Arvada, Wyoming. We are beyond excited. BUT, I am so sad to be leaving Olive and Grace. I have an open door for them and their family to visit. Come ride horses in the Mountains with me. I have a HUGE thank you to their parents for giving me the opportunity and trust in teaching these girls. Very very grateful. We aren’t client and trainer anymore. We are a family❤️ Girls, Apache and Dakota are going to miss you beyond belief. Trust me when I say this, they loved you girls very much and took very good care of you. Thank you Olive and Grace. Thank you so very very much. (Not me crying AGAIN) I’m sorry I couldn’t vocalize earlier 🥲 I kept wanting to cry. Thank you for trusting these horses and myself. Remember, when in pain, keep breathing and become fearless. BECAUSE YOU ARE THE BOSS!! ❤️❤️❤️ with Love, Miss Michelle.
