We hope everyone is being safe while the air quality remains in a state of unhealthy conditions.

Riding on the farm has come to a pause temporarily to protect our horses… we hope to resume all riding activities soon.

We’re sending all the love to those affected most in Canada tonight. 💛

today we got to lesson with someone I’ve been dyinnnngg to train with for a while. When we moved closer to her facility i knew I needed to make the jump and contact her. I’m so glad I did.

Thank you Hablyn Hills Equestrian Center for teaching us today. It was truly a joy and your farm is LOVELY!

Thank you for Jennie Lupkin for being such a perfect supporter and even better videographer! 💕.

enjoy the process 💕

Detach yourself from the outcome

If you’ve been around for a while you’ll know I love to talk about how as riders we put so much of our self worth or how good we are as riders on that mark we get at a competition and it’s always frustrated me that so many of us struggle to see past that score and struggle to see the good parts of those bad tests and that perspective. But I’ve always struggled to word how I feel about this subject until I heard someone on a podcast talking about a completely different topic.

They said

We need to detach ourselves from the outcome and attach ourselves to the process

Detach your self worth from that final score

Detach your decision of whether you are a ‘good rider’ on that final score

Detach your conclusion of whether it was a good day or not on that final score

Instead attach it to the process. The progress you’ve made over the last few months or years, the journey you’re on, how much you enjoy riding your horse, how happy and healthy your horse is and how much they enjoy their work.

Let this be your guide instead and I promise you you’ll enjoy everything from training to competing to life so much better
