Follow my story and how horses helped me travel in this crazy world.

No one is perfect, everyone has flaws, and everyone has achievements, and each one of those achievements are different from one person to the next.
When we are in the horse world (or any aspect of life really), we tend to over think and judge ourselves harshly because we haven’t got to where we want to be. We need to stop thinking that way and realize we are where we are meant to be.
I wished I could have been showing in bigger or at least more shows by now, but there has been a life lessons in all of it for me, to step back and see my own flaws to be able to fix them.

If you were to step back and look at something you could do better, in or outside of the arena what would you do?

I think for myself with my personal pony, we are slowly down, going through all the basics of groundwork again, as I know there are some holes in my own training, that I never learned until after I started training him.

Let’s talk about quality time.
I know I talked about feeling like we are letting horses down by not doing what we need to do with our horses, but, quality time goes hand in hand with our riding careers.
Often times we humans are exhausted from our every life and THATS when we are feeling like we have to do something, but spending that quality time with your equine friend builds trust. Just sitting out and watching your horse, or maybe laying down in their field (safely) is just as great of a benefit for them as it is for you.
So on your next sunny quiet day, just take a day or rest, give your pony some love, brush them, hand walk them to their favorite grassy area and be there for them.

Not everyone gets a pony, like the one I had as my first pony, and I do consider myself lucky in that regard.
Mama Pony, she was my first pony. My parents got her for me when I was about 3 years old, and I definitely abused that pony. Mama Pony was very old, how old you may ask, well we didn’t know, we just knew she had three teeth, but she did everything a 3 year old would ask of her. When I saw her laying down, I knew that was the perfect (and easiest) time to go run and jump on her back to go for a ride.
But when I look back I can remember a moment where my mother was lunging Mama Pony so I could learn to canter. Mama Pony wasn’t transitioning into the canter, so my mother took out the whip and gave Mama Pony a little smack, well my pony didn’t like that, and gave a nice little buck and I took a tumble. Instead of being mad at my pony, I wiped myself off and yelled at my mother for spanking my pony.

I think looking back this could have started my path into what the horse could be able to accomplish. My voice was quieted in the years that followed, but as I continue to grow and look back on memories, I can develop better reasoning for my results and see the failures that I never saw as failures.
Many people could think that Mama Pony should have listened better, being a kids pony. Given her age, and maybe the day, maybe she wasn’t feeling it, and bucked in resistance and me being 3 I fell off. Horses and ponies a like have off days as well, and it’s up to us to listen to them, as we are their only voice.

I think I’ve let a lot of horses down in my life.
I can look back and positively say that a lot of the horses that have came across my path I have let down, and I will be the first to say it out loud. Did I mean to? No, no one ever means to let someone down.
I always do the best that I can do for every individual horse that comes across my journey in this life.
So why am I saying that I have let down these horses?
I’m saying this because I’m still growing, growing as a person, as a horse woman, as a horse owner, and as a horse trainer. Im a person, I don’t know everything, I’m not the smartest, I’m not the best knowledgeable horse trainer, and you know what, that’s okay! It’s okay to acknowledge that you have let horses and yourself down, do you know why? It means you are growing, and you have opened yourself up to drink more knowledge and grow as a person.
I have dreams and goals and I want to expand my knowledge! If I could, I would go to every clinic no matter the discipline. Why? That right there is the root cause of why I have let down these horses.
Not every horse learns the same way, just like children. Sometimes you need to explain something a little different just for someone to understand.
So my advice, take the trip, go to the show, go to the play day, go down that trail, and try something new. You don’t know what’s on the other side of the door until you open it!

Year old the horse…What does that mean?
Well google says it signifies energy, freedom, independence, and bold action.
To me, year of the horse means something else. With how much horses have been in my life, it’s time to hold and reflect what they have given me. Every horse that I have had in my life has taught me a life lesson, some of which I have yet to fully understand, and I think this year I’m going to dive into thoughts old thoughts and see what they uncover.
It’s the year of the horse, what has one thing a past or current horse has taught you?

There is something special about a horse.
I was pretty fortunate that I got to be raised along the side of these amazing animals.
Growing up poor and not have really any friends (especially in high school) I clung to these horses necks every chance I got.
And the lessons that came with owning horses, from 3 years old to even now as an adult, is just something for the fairy tales. Every horse that came into my life left an imprint on my soul with a lesson or a reason why I keep these amazing creatures close to my heart.
Maybe I should write a book about these amazing horses that have stepped into my life, as maybe someone else will see what their horse has taught them or see something in a new light about the world of horsemanship.

2025 was a crazy year, it had way to many downs, but still, somehow, those ups are the ones that are bright in my mind!
I started my career as a massage therapist, I started an amazing mare under saddle (2 years in the making), I started working with a young, cute Arabian quarter horse stud c**t, and still have my amazing pony, Tony.
This next year in 2026 I am going to continue working with these guys, and focus on my career so that it can expand more, so that I may be able to have more opportunities with these amazing equine friends of mine.
Follow along, my journey is just starting
