Living Your Dream Without Borders!
I just met Andi (by email) when she contributed a great addition to our stores, Equestrian Collections.I figured she was riding if she was so interested in this store! Dah!
Well, I want you to discover Andi and her passion. I find that truly inspiring.
You know what the lesson is, right?
Live your dream and don't look back, nothing must stop you and certainly not your weight.
I will let you read what Andi sent me, it says it all!
"The spotty one in the pic's is my old guy, now 27, who I've had since he was 2 - and I'm still riding him. I started riding very early - I remember having riding lessons before I remember starting school (and I'm now over 60).
I used to do more competitive stuff like showing and I've done both English and western riding, trail riding, cattle penning, driving, some eventing and jumping but now mostly like just trail riding, doing clinics and generally messing about with the horses.
I've been a samurai rider in a Japanese movie and have had riding holidays in England and in Spain.
Am I obsessed about riding? Well maybe.
Before buying Bar all those 25 years ago, I'd be cleaning my tack that I still owned and my son would tease me, singing "A dream never dies, just the dreamer..."
I've always been a "traditionally built lady" (as they say in "The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency" books) and for years had to suffer through trying to find suitable riding togs, but then I
discovered 1824 - and Kerrits (my all time favorite riding pants - they fit, are comfy and wear forever! And come in cool hound's-tooth patterns and colors, and in both winter and summer weight.) Anything else you want to know?"Well if you do want to know more about riding, send me an email and I will forward it to Andi.
And THANKS ANDI for sharing your passion with us.
So long..
This is my share for the day.
