There’s a specific kind of heartbreak that comes with not being able to swing your leg over the saddle when riding is woven into the rhythm of your life.
Not the dramatic kind. Not the “I’ll never ride again” spiral. Just the quiet ache of suddenly not being at the barn four days a week. Not hearing your horse nicker when you walk in. Not throwing hay, the quiet moments spent grooming or replaying your last lesson over in your head while in the truck on the drive home. For me, that heartbreak currently comes with a sling and my own version of stall rest. In the hush between obligations, when the world briefly loosens its grip, a rare and determined creature stirs.

Obviously with the help of a trainer and professionals, but this is my first in-depth experience at young horse training. I've shared a lot of the successes I've had with Zellie, but I've gotten quite a few comments about sharing more of the journey. So, here's another installment on that journey. This time titled, "Expectations & Frustrations."
Showing a young horse is always an adventure. Zellie and I spent the past week at the Salem & Grafton Show Grounds in Upperville, Virginia for the Loudoun Benefit Horse Show to show in the UHSJA 2'3".
As a pony-loving little girl dreams of her wedding, it's hard to imagine it not including a magical unicorn, her own pony or horses being involved in general.
When I got married, our send-off was in a horse-drawn carriage. That's about the only equestrian-themed piece I could get out of my husband. We've talked about the perfect equestrian proposal, but Jessie Ann Green got to live an equestrian dream when she married her husband Tyler at the Kentucky Horse Park. |
