Because this sport has a funny way of requiring equal parts dedication, delusion and just enough unhinged behavior to keep it all together.
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.  Photo courtesy of Meagan DeLisle By Meagan DeLisle
I haven’t cleaned a stall since Whit was born. Rumba loves retired life and honestly prefers to be out. The few times we had poor weather, Wayne took care of the farm while I was with the baby. I knew the rest of 2021 would be challenging in terms of my horse life. I really wanted to focus on Whit and then get back going in gear once he reached the six-month mark. With that just a few weeks away, I’ve been thinking a lot about horses and riding and my life. In this unprecedented and crazy time, our daily lives have changed and many people are working from home. I work remotely as a full-time job and here are my five tips to help you be productive and working more efficiently from home.

Last summer, I finally got to show at my goal fence height for two glorious rounds, one of which landed me my first first place in a jumper class ever. A month later at our next show, I went in to do a lower “warm up” round on the first day, and was promptly thrown off my horse. So it goes with horses, am I right? But where I could pick my younger self up off the ground and get going again like it never happened, my adult self does not bounce back so quickly. By Ambassador Olivia Carr
If you’re hoping to marry a CHG (Crazy Horse Girl), there’s nothing better than proposing where she is happiest- at the barn!- with her favorite creature- her horse! Follow these easy steps to create the barn proposal of her dreams. Learning bad habits is never a good thing. No one ever wants to learn the hard or the wrong way to do something. But sometimes it just happens when you look back on a personal journey.
Admitting that things aren't going the right way, or the way you'd like them to go, is the first step, and boy it's a doozy! |
