Here’s what I Would tell my Younger Self

Let’s get a little sentimental and throw it back to the earlier days 

Here’s what I would say to the equestrian I was 5 years ago: 

• Keep advocating for your horse, even when it seems like no one is listening. You are his voice, and you know him better than anyone.

• Don’t give up on horses

  • Even when your wallet, your schedule, and your family might tell you otherwise… They are the best part of your life. 

• You will meet the worst, and the best people in the horse world, and you won’t always be able to tell the difference right away. 

  • Don’t let the bad ones spoil everyone else for you. Soon you’ll meet people at the barn that will become your family. 

• Even though it seems impossible, you WILL get to have a career doing what you love everyday 

  • And it will make everything else you’ve gone through totally, 100%, worth it. 

• You can achieve anything, you just have to get started.  

  • A grand prix horse wasn’t built in a week, neither is a successful small business. Chipping away at your riding and business goals a little bit every day will totally change your life in a year.
