🙌🏽The scoreboard doesn’t tell the whole story.
✨Not the nerves you rode through.
✨Not the soft try your horse gave you after weeks of struggle.
✨Not the quiet moment in the warm-up pen when you finally felt together.
We get caught chasing placings.
Comparing runs.
Measuring progress by how we stack up next to someone else.
✨But real progress?
💕That’s personal.
It’s the inside work.
The mindset shift.
🙌🏽The small wins that no one else sees — but you feel.
Because in the end, it’s not about beating anyone else.
It’s about becoming the kind of rider your horse needs,
one ride at a time.
And that journey?
Is always worth showing up for.

Session 12 with Tigo - 5/24/25.
Our first ride! Zero cares about saddling or weight. If anything, he was quite bored with the whole process. He is a confident and inquisitive horse by nature, making him brave and not very spooky, and he likely had a lot of despooking done prior to purchasing him. He also had about 6 or 7 short rides before I purchased him last year, but he needed a lot of ground work and to grow up mentally before I got on him. He recently told me he was ready to be partners, and he was particularly agreeable this day, so we decided to see how he felt about being ridden after over a year.
Look at those nice “whoa”s using the voice cue I have been drilling into him with ground work—he knows to plant his feet (and turns toward the ground person a couple times as he would on the lunge line, which is okay and expected right now)!
Thank you to Tiffany of Discovery Horsemanship being my ground person to spot me! I don’t call myself a c**t starter, but I always suggest having a knowledgeable person on the ground for your first few sessions on a young horse.
