Raising my reusable coffee mug to toast longer days to come! 🤣

It’s Solstice Day, Equestrians 🌑🐴

Blessed be the mud.
The sacred, ankle-deep, boot-stealing mud.

Today we honour ancient pagan traditions such as:
✨ Standing in a field at dawn questioning your life choices
✨ Lighting a candle while absolutely covered in mud
✨ Chanting “the light returns” whilst your horse is still somehow dirtier than yesterday

The old pagans welcomed the returning light with feasts and fires.
Modern equestrians celebrate by:

Offering hay to the mud gods
Wearing three layers that are all somehow wet
Accepting that nothing you own will ever be clean again

Yes, today is the shortest day.
Yes, the light is coming back.
No, the mud is not leaving anytime soon.

So raise your reusable coffee cup,
bow to the great muddy earth,
and remember:

🌞 The days get longer
🌱 Spring will come
🟤 But for now… we worship at the altar of mud

Blessed Solstice.
May your boots survive and your horse remain smug.

By the last day of our Pippa Callanan clinic I appear to have only taken pictures of pretty things! It was such a great day, that only a few things could distract me from my notes and make me pull out my phone!

Pippa Callanan Clinic Day 2... The dog says it all. By the last ride of the day we were happy and tired (in a good way!). Amazing opportunity to learn from Pippa's vast knowledge. Everyone felt successful. Everyone is standing a little taller knowing they brought their best for their horses and their own riding journey.

Fabulous day of learning with Pippa Callanan ! I missed a few pictures and of course my own rides. 🤣 Looking forward to tomorrow.

I'm often too focused on the riders and horses to take photos in clinics. Then when I DO remember to take a picture, I forget to post! I'm accepting this as a fact of life. This was last Sunday at the beautiful location in Ridgefield WA. I'm so honored to be teaching there each month. It's always a treat to see riders make such huge progress between the clinics. Then meeting a few new riders each time has become such a joy.

Sweet sweet Lola is currently available for an on-site part lease with lessons. She is a been-there-done-that type horse when traveling to clinics, shows, trails etc. Yet fun for an intermediate rider! For these part lease options I do prefer a rider that is confident in their cantering skills and has experience owning or leasing before. Message me for price, details, and to set a few lessons to get to know her and my teaching style to see if we might be a fit. **Lessons available midweek daytime hours only.**
