Hours before complete chaos shut down the world, an amazing little Arabian mare and her equally incredible owner guided me through my first FEI 1* endurance ride. Almost two years ago, I remember setting two goals before signing on to the endurance experience. Goal #1: spend at least a year

I don't remember the first time I met you, but I am so glad that I did. I have hundreds of pictures of me, as a little girl, hugging you tight and smiling from ear to ear and genuinely from my eyes. You have been in my life

"What do you want to be when you grow up?" If you have not been asked this question at least once in your life, surely you have not lived. I think I was first asked this question around eight or nine and I shrugged my shoulders and mumbled

Ask people what advice they would leave behind for the next generation and you will get a lot of plausible answers. Many say, “work hard” or “do what you love.” Others say, “be kind” or “give more than you get.” All of these are good things to ask of oneself

A Gentleman, A Dragon, And A Dreamer Well I am days away from leaving life as I know it. I have made the decision to pack up my perfect little life here in Ohio and drag two horses to the independent country of Florida. I graduated high school at the

Discipline (The mare who has inspired a great deal of my discipline!) I have been reading another book, this time of my own accord which means no date to procrastinate to. It is The Road Less Traveled written by M Scott Peck. The Road Less Traveled is an analysis of

Years That Ask and Years That Answer (My recent visit with the master of success, the great American Pharoah) I was fortunate to be forced by some educational reasoning to read “Their Eyes Were Watching God” over winter break. This really equates to forcing myself to procrastinate and read the

Who has the ride away? (Sunny and a much younger me) It seems somehow time has allowed me to forgot that at one point my summers consisted of gathering up the gang, rounding up those sorry school horses and swinging on bareback for an onslaught of games from “cops and
