2020 News

2020 was...a year. It did not go how I expected, it didn't go how any of us expected. But, as it comes to a close, I can honestly say that I am grateful. I am grateful that my loved ones are healthy. I am grateful that I am healthy. I am grateful to be surrounded by fun, amazing, supportive clients, who love horses as much as I do. I am grateful that what I do for a living was allowed to continue, with some sense of normalcy, despite most of the world seeming to come to a screeching halt. I am grateful for this time and this separation, to really highlight what is important versus what we tell ourselves is important. And when we are finally able to do some of the things that we missed out on this year, I look forward to appreciating them even more.

Wishing you a happy, healthy, and safe 2021!!
