Galloping into the New Year!

Horsemanship... What people see vs what they don't see. It's so easy to look at others' social media posts, or see them winning at a show and think 'they are so... perfect...' In reality what we are seeing is their highlight reel. The tip of the iceberg. As horsemen and women we all have challenges to face, no matter how successful we become. But don't we become much better people for it? See more

I got to play Santa Claus yesterday, I got call a week ago to haul a horse. The little guy in the picture is going to be the new owner of the pony for Christmas..., but the story is , his grandmother called and wanted to know when I could ship a pony, I said I'll check my schedule, I was pretty busy, and said January 18 or so, so the booked the trip for the pony, I get a text from the owner of pony , telling me the coggins and health are ready this week. So I sent back a confirmation, the pony is going to be picked up sometime in January. Then I happened, to hear a conversation in the background on the phone of the new owner, the grandmother who bought the pony, told me who it was for, the pony was for her grandson, she wanted to know if I would talk to him on the phone as Santa Claus, so I played along, he asked me if I could bring him a pony, for Christmas. I told him, I was pretty busy until January with all of the ponies I had to deliver, and he said okay. So I wanted to know why he wanted a pony for Christmas. His grandmother had mentioned to me that his mother had passed away a few months ago, in an earlier conversation. I was heart broken after what came next, he said he wanted a horse so, he could ride to find is mom. So I changed my schedule so I could deliver him on Christmas Eve. Santa Claus isn't always the red guy at the mall, it can be anyone to help make people feel better. See more
