Aiken, Here We Come
For years I longingly watched social media influencers as they migrated from the cold northern states to the south to ride their horses all winter. “What a dream come true that would be.” “I wish I could do that.” “I wish I had a job that allowed for this” Professionals, most certainly…and their grooms.

In The Name of The Horse: Tackling Self Care to Overcome Rider Imbalances
In the last couple of years I have been changing my views on self-care. In the past I never made time for it and it was of no concern to me. In 2020 I had some falls that never got checked out by a health professional. In 2021 that led me to having such a…
