I won’t lie, I’m really enjoying not ‘having’ to do anything with the horses. With no rides to train for, no imminent goals to plan and reducing daylight I feel like this is the time of year when the pressure is off, if I want to ride I can, but if I don’t it doesn’t matter. It’s a good job too as I have so much else on professionally and personally at the moment that the added pressure of training a horse would most certainly be too much.
Obviously there’s never any getting away from the day to day caring and maintenance of the horses but I actually really enjoy that part this time of year and can do the bare minimum or potter around getting jobs done for hours.
