I think it’s really easy to forget with social media that we only see snippets. I’m guilty of watching peoples reels (Bella Fricker – in particular) and catching myself being envious, when in reality Bella woke up at 4:30am to bake those Brownies and do extra work hours so that she could play with her ponies in daylight, or Georgina (another absolutely incredible endurance rider) just finished back to back on calls as a vet and is raising a family, sneaking in mountain rides when she can. All those beautiful photos and posts we see…probably taken on the weekend in one day and spread out over the socials rather than an endless week of sunshine and fun. People have jobs, responsibilities and what we see are the fun parts.
To have the lives we live we make compromises elsewhere and I just wanted to show what a normal day was for me, and I’m aware I’m supremely privileged that this is what a normal day looks like. But like everyone I make choices based on what I want to prioritise so other aspects of my life, like socialising or eating out are non-existent.
