I love pretty mornings like this.... Even if it's a bit cold. Pretty skies are worth it. ♥️

I really can't wait to get back into a routine with him. Complications with pain from surgery (me.. not him) means I haven't been able to do a whole lot with him since November. I took him out the other day, and paid dearly for it the next day due to pain. I way over did it, and set myself back a bit... 🙄
But, my goal for the summer is to be riding him. I think we will get there... ♥️

Isn't if funny how objects can bring forth a ton of emotion?
This shirt for example... well this shirt was my mothers shirt, when she was a young and up and coming racehorse trainer. That career ended when I was born.
I did not grown up with horses or on a farm... imagine that... the horse trainers daugher, who's mother comes from a family of horse trainers, jockys and grew up on a farm where they lived and breathed horses.
But I never was around horses growing up. I could probably count the amount of times I was around a horse on my hands..
Yet, horses were everywhere... images of horses and paintings of the racetrack hung on the wall... there were drawers of pictures of a past life of my mothers... and every once in a while we would go to the track, or I would hear about or see pictures the 'family' business from a cousin.
Needless to say, I grew up dreaming of a horse life I never had, but felt like I should have.
I found this shirt when I was a teen in my moms stuff... and promtely stole it. And it has come with me from one side of the world to another... And now that life looks very different... this shirt represents so much in the journy I have been on...
It's complicated
It's messy
But it's all been worth it I guess... I plan to blog about it more... I think I need too...

I can't believe it's been a year in a half since I posted here.
Just that in itself says so much about the journey I have been on over the last couple of years.
I originally started this account and the blog attached to it to capture the equine soul, mostly through images, and share a bit of the life of horses that I finally found myself surrounded in.

But...

It never clicked, felt right and I could never really find what it was that I was supposed to share. Part of this was I couldn't really figure out my place in it all. Was I a horse photographer, did I wasn't to be a horse trainer, a kick ass rider, a horse business owner....
And I realized I was/could be all of that and none of that at the same time.

I rarely take my good camera out, unless for work.

I train my own horse, sort of.

In the almost three years I have been working at the farm, I have ridden maybe 15 times, barely got past a trot.. never cantered.

Business owner... Unofficially I have that one. I'm good at my job, and the horse business is growing.

Then... The other day, thinking about the blog and this account... It occurred to me... Maybe the equine soul isn't in the horse alone... Maybe it's interetwined in the human, the place and the journey...

And now I know where to start with this account and the blog, and maybe just maybe am being to understand my place in it all...

More to come...
