Inspiring, connecting and informing the horse community in San Luis Obipso County, California – and beyond.
Nobody really knows what we’re in store for here on the Central Coast this winter, but it’s better to be safe than sorry when it comes to having the proper “winter wear” for your horse. Sarah Williams gets us started with a winter blanket checklist and introduces us to some new blanket options for this season.
Sarah Williams realizes the life benefits from her horse experiences. “At this point in my life, I realize that as much as I was learning about how to care for my horses, ride, show, etc., I was also learning how to live simply by maintaining my relationship with these animals, both in struggling and overcoming. Owning horse has allowed me to be a better person – a stronger person – and has taught me that when you dream big, if you are willing to work hard, you can achieve and overcome just about anything that gets in your way.”
What are your dreams when it comes to horses? The Bucket List challenge was put out to our readers. Get inspired by two SLO County riders who wrote out their Bucket List regarding their horseback riding pursuits. Sarah Williams tells their stories and inspires us to write our own Bucket List.
There is a certain importance of having a Bucket List, when it comes to being an equestrian, and each one of us is going to have something a little bit different. Psychology shows that when people have dreams and goals, it gives them a certain psychological sense of importance, and subsequently confidence when these goals are met. Sarah Williams puts forth the Equestrian’s Bucket List Challenge.
Horses are hard work; if I wasn’t cleaning those stalls, my trainer would have been doing it, or she would have been paying someone to do it. She was imparting knowledge unto me and allowing me to ride her seasoned show horse, so why shouldn’t I be responsible for some of the care and upkeep? Sarah Williams explains how important stall cleaning is for any rider.
