Isn’t that funny how something that is a huge fear for years—YEARS—can just suddenly dissolve? I had a fear of flying for almost 10 years after loving it as a kid. One day I woke up and that fear had just melted. It was gone. I didn’t need medication to fly anymore. I consider it one of life’s small miracles! I’m so glad you’re riding again!

I am so happy you have gotten back to riding. I rode hunters as a junior and had some serious burnout (I wanted to do jumpers, mother and trainer wouldn't let me ?? it was weird), then my horse and I had personality clashes that got dangerous, so we sold him and so I stopped after high school. I picked it back up at 33. For a few years I leased a sometimes-insane Morgan from someone who has become one of my best friends and wound up buying a mutt pony that I do jumpers and eventing with. He does not win the dressage and has total ponytude, but he would never do anything mean and is the same guy no matter where I take him. He doesn't turn into a psycho if work gets crazy or I am not feeling well and I can't get out to ride for a week. He's exactly what I needed. I look forward to more stories as you get back into it, hopefully some video sometime!!
