Living without Jade - Losing a friend

Image
Its been about 2 and a half months since Jade died. Since all the hopes and dreams and joy and and connection I had with her, were buried, in a hole, along with my beautiful friend and they were gone. So now what?  I can't continue to drift about like a rudderless boat.  There is so much to be grateful for. And there is so much frustration, Jade and I had reached such a beautiful place.  I could ride her where ever I wanted around the farm, with both of us completely happy and confident.  We were ready to audition for Level 2.  She had become such a confident learner.  Everything was coming together.  And then she was gone. I'm going to post this, even though it sounds so ungrateful and negative, its my genuine feelings and I have to feel them, and then I have to move on. I have to move forward

Ups and Downs

In all journeys there are ups and downs, and lately it feels like a bit of a roller coaster.   Lets start with the 'up'.  I passed my audition for Level One Parelli!  So so excited about it :)  It feels like it has taken forever,  and it has taken me over a year, but I don't care, we did it!  We ended up passing 1++ which I was aiming for.  Somethings I even passed at level 2 including technique and savvy, stoked!  There then there was responsiveness and exuberance, yeah not really a strong point, yet.   Well we can get it but then calm and connected seems to go out the window lol.  I feel like we can achieve Level 2 online this summer, hopefully.  But there is something really slowing us up, which is the 'down' Jade has a sarcoid on her udder.  When I first got Jade I barely knew what a sarcoid was, now the word makes me shudder.  It started out as a very small lump, in fact I noticed it when I went to trial her, ...

First things first ( I'm the realist)

Yes I believe I just started this blog quoting Iggy Azalea,  if you are bothered by cheesy pop music you are free to leave, there will be more. If you aren't, welcome to the madness or as I like to call it 'adventure' My main drive for this blog is to document my journey and to reach out to others who like me have a dream of riding again.  Of having an amazing relationship of love, language and leadership with our horses.  Of long days in the saddle trekking across this amazing country, of dancing our way around the dressage arena, and maybe even  dressing up all pretty for the show ring.  But to achieve all this I have to actually be able to GET ON my horse. Around a year ago, thanks to my amazing farm owners, I got the oppotunity to live my dream, to own my own horse again!  Of 16 years of pining, and wishing and hoping this was really going to happen! Now when I finally was able to buy a horse I told myself "Right, take your time, there is no ru...
