Hi!

My name is Heather.I stepped away from horses as a teen due to anxiety and regretted it ever since. Now I’m back but things are a little different now. I’m a mother, I’m less flexible, and I’m a lot more nervous. The biggest difference? I’m following my passion despite lacking confidence. Join me as I talk about all those things we think but don’t say out loud.

I have been blogging about my personal journey on the ground and in the saddle since 2016. You can visit my latest posts here:
