A little question for the horsey people...
We spend an awful lot of time talking about what we want to achieve with our horses.
The next competition.
Improving our dressage score.
Jumping bigger.
Getting fitter.
Overcoming nerves.
Learning something new.
But sometimes I think we forget to ask ourselves a rather important question...
What are you actually enjoying about your horses at the moment?
Not what you should be enjoying.
Not what you think you ought to be achieving.
Not what everyone else on social media seems to be doing.
What genuinely makes you smile?
Perhaps it's a quiet hack.
Perhaps it's finally getting that transition you've been working on.
Perhaps it's simply grooming your horse after a long day and feeling the world slow down for half an hour.
Perhaps, at the moment, you're just trying to get through a challenging patch of training and there isn't much enjoyment to be found.
And that's okay too.
Our horses are allowed to be part of our lives without always having to be a project.
So, I'm curious...
What is your favourite thing about having horses in your life right now?
I'd love to hear your answers.
