I Don’t Ride Horses Anymore, But This is How They Prepared Me For Life

“You look through pricked ears and see an endless world of possibilities ahead of you. Some are good, and some are bad; but, on the back of a horse, nothing else matters except you and your communication with this animal. It’s a mutually dependent relationship. You need the horse to carry out commands, but you also have to listen to the horse’s body cues and needs so that they can understand and trust you.”

5 Things I Wish Someone Would’ve Told Me About Showing Horses…

When I first started showing in patterns, I thought that my maneuvers had to be perfect, and the rest of the pattern wasn’t too important. It didn’t matter if my circle was perfectly round or ended on the wrong angle, as long as it looked good and his lope was nice, right? Wrong!

How to Successfully, and Respectfully, Navigate the Warm Up Pen…

When working on a Trail obstacle warm up, I try not to make more than two or three rotations of any single obstacle. Then, I get out of the way of others. Simply put, doing a drill and kill type of practice does not work for my horse, or I, and we generally only get mad at each other.

Leave the Judging For The Arena

If you’re skinny, you’re starving yourself. If you’re fat, you need to lose weight. If you leave your hair gray, you’re getting old. If you color your hair, you’re trying to act young. If you’re dressed up, you’re conceited. If you’re dressed down, you’ve let yourself go. If you speak your mind, you’re rude.

New Blood- Change in the Equine Industry

“People turn over, new blood comes in and shakes things up. Old ways get changed, and new becomes old. It happens all the time, all over the place. Ultimately, change is inevitable. Some of our industry’s greatest success stories have come on the wings of change.”

Why Do We Show Horses?

There is something else though- a love, a fire, a passion that’s intangible to anyone that doesn’t have “it.” We do the crazy things we do because it’s what we know, and we don’t want to imagine a life without it. The love for our equine partners can’t be described in enough words.

My First AQHA Level 1 Championship Show- With Abby Bruno

“In my opinion, I think what made my experience at this show different from other shows was the fact that my fellow competition was more than willing to offer words of advice to me, in addition to future show goers as well. They opened up about their true thoughts on the show.”
