good morning everybody okay so today this video is a little bit of a a
reminder for everybody okay if you own horses this is my horse Nocona we just
finished up with a dressage ride lesson it was fantastic my lesson was at 8 a.m.
and you know I'm just sitting here and I'm having my cup of coffee and just
chilling out afterwards I like to just hang out with my horse a little bit
after a ride when I get the opportunity but so for those of you who own horses
my question is how often do you get out and just enjoy them you know I hear a
lot of people talk about how they spent so much time taking care of their horses
and you know doing all the work that's involved because let's face it horses
are a tremendous amount of work like more work than any hobby that I can
think of that exists so horses are a lot of work and you know we equestrians
enjoy that work to an extent but it can be really overwhelming sometimes
and then Nocona quit hogging the camera and then you add things in like having a
family or a job or you know whatever whatever else you have going on into
that scenario and there's a good chance that you're spending a lot of time
feeding your horses holding them for the farrier paying for their vet visits all
that stuff but not really a lot of time riding them or doing ground work or
whatever it is that that you want to do so the reason that I'm making this video
that is completely spontaneous is because I want to tell you I want to
remind you that you deserve to spend time with your horse you need to spend
time for your horse if it's necessary for our happiness
so whatever you do make a promise to yourself
and go out and do something with your horse
the next time that you have available and want to even if it's five minutes
just go out visit your horse in the pasture pet them spend a little bit of
time with them whatever and just know that even five to ten minutes of
groundwork can be so so rewarding with your horse so if you don't have much
time just do something you won't regret it I promise
so here's my challenge here's my challenge listen carefully my challenge
is for you to go out this weekend so now go out now go out tonight go out
tomorrow whatever go out and do something with your horse and then I
want you to comment below and tell me what you did with your horse even if you
just went out and groomed them whatever it is your horse deserves that you
deserve that you have a horse for a reason go out and
enjoy them think about how much you spend on your horse in a month and then
you only ride that horse or work with that horse once a month that's how much
it costs you to have that horse okay or for that one ride so I tell people
this all the time you know who want to buy horses and you're not gonna take the
time to commit to spending on that horse gosh it becomes really expensive and
then in that case it's almost cheaper just to take lessons and ride somebody
else's horse and then not have to care for them but anyway so if I spend $300
on my horse in a month and I ride them ten times every ride cost me $30 $30
okay so the goal is to ride my horse as often as possible to make every ride
cheaper so important it's so important and the more time you spend with your
horse the more you get back I promise I promise you so go out do something with
your horse and then leave me a comment I want to know how many people are out
there doing things with their horse I appreciate you taking the time to watch
this video thank you so
have a great weekend bye
