ISO beginner friendly horse for tall amateur. Ideally 16.2hh+ with experience at 1.0m-1.10m. Needs to be a good confidence builder! Wanting to stay in Alberta, budget in the low 5s.

Smiled the whole way around the course today. It has taken some time to rebuild, but the patience is worth it on days like this! Thanks for the help @daylight_1

Back at it with the big chestnut. Happy to be showing again

Here’s the ugly truth of what people don’t tell you about going professional: -You will work 13, 14, 15, 16+ hour days. Not for a lavish vacation, but to put fu...el in a truck and a sheepish dinner on the table. -365. Rain. Snow. Christmas. Funerals. Hot and humid you are there, you are working. -People will tell you your six figure horses will never be nice enough and those 3-4 figure ones will never be rank enough. -The biggest shows are the loneliest places. People support you until you become a threat, then they will try and break you down. -You will see death and hardships. A lot of hardships. -You will want to give up. Why don’t people tell you this? Simple. We wouldn’t have an industry. What people don’t tell you is why you don’t give up: -When that quirky horse gets it. -When you get that first big sale, first client horse, first investor, first time your barn fills up. -When those few people believe in you and you start getting phone calls of people being sent to you. -When a training client strikes it big. -When you finish a day and look back at a farm and business you built. Why don’t people tell you this? Because there’s not a grand enough word to describe that feeling and that’s why we are here. Feel free to copy and paste with credit to Shannon Eckel.
