When I was in high school, the girls who barrel raced were cool & weren’t considered “weird horse girls” but it’s probably bc they showed on Friday nights at rodeos that served alcohol to minors whereas when I showed, I missed school to dress up like a pretentious old Englishman

I love my gelding the most when I’m sitting in his stall crying and he pushes his hay over to me. I can’t tell if he’s pushing it so his he’s closer to me or if he’s offering it to me bc since he likes it, I must, but then he’ll stop eating and just rest his nose in my hair

Tonight I sat in my horses stall and he put his head in my lap. He sighed into my hair and nuzzled me with his nose. It was quiet. Just me and my horse. It was kind of an epiphany moment where I realized something: I don’t really care about riding, but damn do I love horses.

I remember the first time I jumped. I was 8. My trainer set up the tiniest crossrail; it probably wasn’t even 18”. I still remember how excited I was. Sometimes I wish I could go back to that kind of innocence in my riding when there were no shows, no competitions, just ponies.
