“ENTER THE RING LIKE YOU WANT TO BE SEEN, NOT LIKE YOU’VE BEEN PUSHED IN”
When I returned to the horse show in 2022, despite having grown up in the hunter ring, years of horse showing as a junior, and grooming internationally, coming back to the horse show I felt like the new kid on the mounting block. I was surprised at how out of practice I was, and how disorienting it was to jump back in. And adding to that, I felt embarrassed about how little I knew about the way things worked now, given all my experience.
Also, one major thing was different. As an adult, I wasn’t wasting any time surviving the learning curve. As the official ‘credit card on file’, this time around, I wasn’t settling for anything less than having the time of my life at every show I went to. Now, I’m doing way more than just surviving the horse show, I’m enjoying every moment of it. And then I wrote a book about it.
