So here it is: the lame first post of my blog, as I imagine all first blog posts are. But really, what do I know about blogging. That's not what we're here for.
We're here for the dressage.
I am not a competitive dressage rider. I have no money nor desire to compete. But I do dressage anyways, and while everyone talks about their competitive goals and moving through the levels, I tend to play with the horses, finding routines and exercises that improve them and me at the same time. I set goals, I accomplish them or I don't, but I try not to stress about the whole thing. It's the journey, right?
Yet for so many it's not. It's about the scores and the ribbons and the fancy warmbloods, and I feel that the reason we're all here is being forgotten. I have nothing against the scores and the ribbons and the fancy warmbloods, but I want something more.
And I don't think I'm the only one.
