Life Lessons Learned on Horseback
Not every day is filled with horses and lessons that are verbally taught, but with lessons that come from going out to the Ranch and just living it. Today the group worked together as one, some cleaning the horses while others helped pack the trailer. Teamwork makes the dream work is the motto around Riata Ranch, and when we all pitch in, so much more is accomplished. Another point made today, was that even though it's one performance, we still clean our tack and take pride in cleaning our horses just like it was a month long tour. Our equipment and our equine partners are treated with respect and care, cleaning and conditioning until they literally shine. After all, where would we be without them?
One of the reasons we accomplished our duties today so quickly and efficiently was that we had purpose. We had a goal to tackle and over come, and we did it. You see, bloggers, Riata Ranch isn't just a trick riding school; it's so much more. We come to be a family, sisters united in a passion for the lifestyle Riata Ranch has created. No matter how many grudges, angry words or slights, we always know that someone on that team always has our back. We can count on every single member to do their part, play their role, and help anyone who needs it. Every girl demonstrates leadership, young to old, new to seasoned.
Tomorrow we leave for Santa Rosa. Knowing this team very well, every girl will give 100%, and come away with something from this show. In two weeks we will lose Bec, back to her native Australia, and it's going to be a hard couple of shows without her!
Life by design is our chosen style, and we live it to the letter. Off we go to Santa Rosa, California for a Sunday night performance. Catch up with you all monday!
