0 Comments

 
Let's face it, equestrians (especially us adult amateurs) love photos and videos from our riding. Doesn't matter if we were division champion or it was a total #FailFriday moment, photos are a large part of equestrian sport. We share on social media, learn from mistakes you can only notice from the ground, revel in improvements and relive memories from amazing times we've had with our horses.

I recently sat down with the uber talented equine photographer Shawna Simmons of SAS Equine Photography to get some of her go-to tips when shooting.

The AmateurHour blog series started as a way to celebrate and showcase the adult amateur equestrian. Over the last few years, I've spoken to TWENTY adult amateur equestrians ranging from the A/O Hunter rider showing at WEF to the jumper rider fighting on the frontlines of  the COVID-19 pandemic. Being an adult amateur means something different to each of us. 

​But where are they now? I've been thinking that to myself for a little while and I'd love to catch up with ALL of you.

Safely Getting Back in the Show Ring | Equestrian Face Covers

7/8/2020

0 Comments

 
The COVID-19 pandemic has made our normal, daily lives much, much different. Add in horse showing which draws spectators not only for the day classes but also for larger money classes such as Welcomes, Grand Prixs and hunter derbies, and things change dynamically. US Equestrian has put out their COVID-19 protocols to keep everyone safe while returning back to what we love – horse showing. One of those protocols is that a face covering or mask is required while on the show grounds unless you are mounted. 

Fellow adult amateur hunter rider, Aly Howse, and her fiancé started Equestrian Face Covers providing personalized face coverings geared for the outdoor and equestrian lifestyle. ​

The Curse of Comparing | Stay True to You

4/28/2020

1 Comment

 
As we go through this crazy time of quarantines, social distancing and stay-at-home or shelter-in-place orders, I've done a bit mindless scrolling through Facebook and other social media platforms, as I'm sure most of us have. I saw a friend repost this and it really resonated with me:

WE ARE NOT IN THE SAME BOAT.
I heard that we are all in the same boat, but it's not like that. We are in the same storm, but not in the same boat. Your ship could be shipwrecked and mine might not be. Or vice versa.
