When COVID shut down all the horse shows this year

When COVID shut down all the horse shows this year, I actually felt myself breathe a sigh of relief. I kept playing this game as though I was going to do the show circuit; picking out shows I was never going to go to, working hard on a goal I didn’t even have, and pretending like I was disappointed when they all got canceled because “damn, this was going to be our year!”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Instead, COVID gave me the opportunity to pretend like I was taking the summer off and just enjoying the warm weather with my horse; trail riding, bareback walks around the property, fun groundwork that worked our minds...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It wasn’t until things started opening up again that I realized that it’s all I’ve ever wanted to do in the first place.

So much has changed since this photo was taken bac

So much has changed since this photo was taken back in 2016, but the things that have stayed the same are our adventurous spirits, our love of the outdoors, and our seek for solitude...

I'm not a huge travel junkie - I'm actually more of a homebody who likes routine - but I've been feeling the pull to 'get outta dodge' lately... I can't imagine what all you wanderlusts are going through!

I’ve never really felt like I’ve fit in within

I’ve never really felt like I’ve fit in within the horse industry… I’ve never felt good enough, or brave enough, or refined enough, or pulled together enough, and honestly, I’ve never really wanted to try hard enough to achieve any of those things. But they still ate away at me.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m not a competitive person and the idea of spending so much money to just get a ribbon has never appealed to me… that, and the paralyzing idea of having everyone’s eyes on me, criticizing my every move and my horse’s every step.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I just really, really love horses.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I love the way they make me feel; connected, quiet, peaceful. I love the smell and atmosphere of the barn. I love herd dynamics and wearing dirty clothes in public like “so what? I’m a horse girl!”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve always felt like I needed to “be” something; a jumper rider, or a hunter rider, or a dressage rider, or a gymkhana rider. I thought I always had to have a goal and a vision; a distinct discipline and a plan… I’ve never given myself the permission to just be a rider; a horse lover.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But a lot of that is changing... click on the MARE & MOON blog posts in my bio to read my latest post, titled "Breathing Signs of Relief."
