Hey everyone!
I hope you had a fantastic weekend! This weekend my family and I took a vacay to Banff, Canada and it was AMAZING! I definitely am going back in the summer 🙂
Alright, so let’s get to today’s blog post! Sometimes it can be hard to think of ways to earn money from horseback riding, but today I am sharing with you 6 ways that you can earn a little extra cash doing something you love. I hope that you enjoy today’s post and find it helpful!
Hey everyone!
Sorry for being MIA for a few days! It has been a crazy couple of weeks, but I am officially DONE finals and I’m all yours!
While being busy with final exams this past couple weeks, it has gotten me thinking about how hard it can be to find time to ride your horses especially if you are in school or have a busy life. Horses are a big part of my life and it was definitely hard to not see my horse for a couple weeks over final exams. Today, I wanted to give all of you busy people out there 5 tips on how to balance your busy life and horse riding. Let’s get started! Enjoy 😉
Hey y’all!
Yay… another blog post!! I have been literally so busy with final exams lately, but I love my study break time because that means I get to chat with my favorite person… you!
I follow a lifestyle/fashion blog that recently published a new post called the “12 Things” post. Basically, she told her readers 12 things that have been happening in her life lately. Today, I thought I would try it out and give you 12 things that have been happening in my life lately… equestrian styled! I hope that you enjoy today’s little sneak peak into my horsey life 🙂 Happy reading!
Some people believe that all you need is love, which of course is true, but when it comes to training horses, all you really need is GROUNDWORK. Groundwork is the key to success in shaping any relationship or bond with your horse. A quote I found says this:
“No hour of life is wasted when teaching your horse groundwork.” – Kim Wende
This past weekend I worked with my horse Sky. I hadn’t ridden her in a while and, honestly, I wasn’t too sure how it was going to go, especially with the -30 cold spell we have been having here in Canada. I decided that instead of riding her I would work with her and do some groundwork. I did a couple groundwork exercises including lunging, liberty, turn on the forehand and on the haunches.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! WOOOO!
I CANNOT believe it is already 2018! I am so excited to have a fresh start to a new year and to set brand new goals. It is time to say goodbye to 2017 and hello to 2018! I have to admit, there were some challenges this year, but there were also some amazing moments as well! I am so grateful for how Horse Chats has grown over the past year and the constant loyalty from you and all of my subscribers. Thank you!
Massive wildfires are continuing to rage throughout California. It has been so devastating and disheartening to see the posts and videos on social media showing the impact that the fires have made on California. Within minutes of the fire starting, it was already roaring over the mountains. However, amidst the devastation and tragedy, we do see hope through the many stories being shared.
Many people and animals have been affected, including horses. Some owners are facing the decision to set their horses free to escape from the fires, not knowing if they are going to survive or not. 500 horses were stabled at the San Luis Rey Downs Training Center and most of them were set free to run from the flames. From that training center more than 46 racehorses were killed by the flames or smoke inhalation. Trying to save six horses, a horse trainer was also seriously injured, suffering from third-degree burns, and is currently in a coma at the UC-San Diego Medical Center. Some horses are being found and treated while others are still lost and possibly starving.
Hey! Welcome back to Horse Chats. Recently, I came across an amazing equestrian clothing brand called the TKEQ Shop. The shop has t-shirts, sweatshirts, saddle pads for your horses, and more! The TKEQ Shop also sponsor many incredibly-talented horse riders that have been very successful. Today, I am going to tell you about these riders and what they have accomplished. All of them have inspired me to strive to become a better rider and have taught me to never give up on reaching my goals.
The TKEQ Shop is currently running a campaign called the #ridelikeagirl campaign. I feel like these three riders truly exemplify what it means to “ride like a girl”. To me “riding like a girl” means to ride with grace, strength, and diligence. TKEQ was also kind enough to send me two of their t-shirts to show to you, including their signature #ridelikeagirl shirt and their Big EQ t-shirt.
