What’s your goal? A friend asked me this earlier this year. I think my answer was something along the lines of keep the body count at zero and don’t get arrested. The truth was it takes your friends to know you and to know when you have lost your mojo not just your car keys.ContinueContinue reading “We’ll Be Counting Stars”

When a dressage judge hits you in the feels!
Yesterday a dressage judge hit me in the feels. For once, not due to a bad score in what my friend Christa calls “the rectangle of judgement” 😂🐴 Nope instead because they saw through everything else and understood what my horse means to me. We were in a test riding clinic and did a warmContinueContinue reading “When a dressage judge hits you in the feels!”

SometimesContinueContinue reading “A Day On Cheer Squad Duty”

Constructive Feedback Vs Criticism
Just something that I wanted to share. Inspired by a conversation with a friend where we realised that we had experienced some great coaches before but also some that had good intentions but lacked the ability to understand the riders current state, couldn’t aim towards goals and ended up being critical rather than helpful. ItContinueContinue reading “Constructive Feedback Vs Criticism”
Things All Equestrians Do
Ignore excruciating and ongoing pain and stiffness blaming lack of fitness / getting old / an old injury but call the physio, vet and backman at the first sign of mild discomfort in the horse Keep horses teeth maintained twice yearly but avoid our own dentist unless the dental pain is so bad thatContinueContinue reading “Things All Equestrians Do”
