I hope everyone has had a chance this weekend to enjoy some time with family. I know it seems for most of us we don't get enough time with our horses because of our families.
Trying to strike that balance between work and horses, spouses and horses, children and horses is hard. Remembering that life is about balance, and being fulfilled in different ways is hard.
This summer, try to really be wherever you are. If it's a family weekend, be with them and grateful for them. When was the last time you asked someone in your family about their life, their job, or their dreams and truly listened? When you're at yet another baseball game or soccer tournament, are you really paying attention to what's going on? Or are you on your cell or laptop "catching up"?
That same ability to be present wherever you are holds true for when you're with your horse and riding. How is he feeling? What is your schooling plan? Does it match your goals? Is there some way you could see training difficulties more from his perspective to help you both through them?
Have a great weekend, and remember, wherever you are, be there with bells on!
