When Your Horse Isn’t a Match

You can hardly tell where Nic’s head is because it looks like it’s camouflaged in the cut grass.

As you know, it’s been boiling here in Texas – really hot. Today’s supposed to be our hottest day of the year.

I’m just taking Nick for a little ride, and I wanted to respond to another question I recently received.


VIDEO TRANSCRIPT:

Hey, it’s Barb and Nic.

You can hardly tell where Nic’s head is because it looks like it’s camouflaged in the cut grass.

As you know, it’s been boiling here in Texas – really hot. Today’s supposed to be our hottest day of the year.

I’m just taking Nick for a little ride, and I wanted to respond to another question I recently received.

I’m summary. Linda has a mare, and she’s been showing her for years. The horse is an outstanding performer, and the owner has confidence in that. But the rider never knows what she will do when she gets to the show. I don’t know exactly what she does, so I only have a few details about that.

But the question is, how do you overcome that? Or what do you do with that situation and when?

I don’t have a definite answer to that question because it depends on so many things. But here’s one thing that I can say for sure.

Whatever you decide to do, make sure you believe in it and that’s what you want to do.

And by that, I mean if Linda wants to try another horse and allow this horse to either chill in the pasture or maybe be with someone else who might enjoy her in whatever way they do -. the same job or a different job, she could go on to another person.

That is a personal decision.

Do what resonates with you.

Some people might want to keep trying with the same horse. That’s, of course, fine.

But if Linda feels more comfortable with moving on to another horse that’s more suited to the job for her, that’s great, too.

Everything in our journey should be according to what makes us authentically happy. Many people tell us what we need to do and think. Whatever each person decides to do is most important – be true to yourself.

Okay? That’s what I have for you today.

Nic’s happy he sees those yearlings in the pasture over there. I don’t know if you can tell, but the Mississippi River safely separates him. Just kidding.

Okay, have a great day. Leave a comment for me. Bye-Bye.

  8. Hi Barb, So much fun and inspiring to see you and Nic out riding in your pretty property. That really is good advice–listen to your own heart and “gut” to tell you what to do in that difficult situation where there really is no “right or wrong”! Thank you, 🙂
