When life, school and work intersect with riding, life can get messy and overwhelming.
Equestrians often juggle their love for riding with the demands of life, school, and work, making it feel like a never-ending rodeo. When you’ve enjoyed a perfect ride, it an amazing feeling... but as soon as you leave the barn reality hits—assignments due, deadlines looming, and work meetings popping up like uninvited guests. Balancing saddle time with other commitments can be overwhelming, especially when others don't understand the commitment that is needed to reach your riding goals. The stress and anxiety can be over the top and sometimes debilitating.
