Good morning all! Hope everyone is off to a great start of their 2024! I absolutely love this game and reading everyone’s posts. You guys inspire me so much! Soooo great to know we’re not in this alone. One thing I love to hear is your ‘why’s’. Here’s mine, it’s two fold really. I turn 50 this coming September and want to be the healthiest and most confident adult self that I can possibly be. I’m heading that way and making strides so yay! Reason number 2 is I have a coming two year old young horse that I want to start under saddle this spring. I trained horses for a living for 25 years and have started many young horses under saddle, but I haven’t done it for my job in 7ish years. In fact I haven’t ridden much the last several years… my hip was shot and it just wouldn’t let me ride much. I got a hip replacement in 11/22 and I feel great! I am finally ready to get back to serious riding and I’m soooo excited about this young horse. Funny how time catches up with you… never thought I’d be 50 (technically I’ll be 49 when I start him!) getting a 2 yo started, but here I am! A cowgirl with silver-blonde (ok gray! But silver blonde sounds ever so much cooler) hair. I want to be the best version of myself! And it feels great to be heading that way with all of you! This is my why! What’s yours?
