trans and nonbinary equestrians exist! gay and lesbian equestrians exist! ace and aro equestrians exist, bi equestrians exist! I know lgbtq+ equestrians aren’t very visible, and I know that it seems like everyone else at the barn are cis straight women with boyfriends, and yeah it’s easy to feel left out. Like the equine world is not for you. but there are others who feel the exact same thing, and you have every right to be at a barn and I promise, your horse 100% doesn’t care about your orientation or gender.

So… I’m booking Rethy in for an XC comp, because his many times telling me he hates solid fences and galloping are not enough.  What height are we going for you may be asking? 50cm.  Watch my 17.2h anglo piddle around a course designed for shetlands (and probably be beaten by a seven year old on something that could wear his numnahs as a rug.

Going Grand Prix on a downhill 15hh qh cross isn’t realistic but no one thinks it is. People should still be able to deck thier pony out in dressage gear and roll up to a schooling/rated show and and not get berated because because they don’t own a six figure warmblood. People are allowed to go the distance even if that distance is a few inches.

Horse lessons

Fast horses teach you to be brave

Slow horses teach you to be strong

Timid horses teach to be patient

Lame horses teach you to be kind

Spooky horses teach you to be humble

And any horse can teach you to be proud as an equestrian

Types of horse falls:

-the one where your horse bucks and you do a full 360 mid air before hitting the ground

-the one where you bail because things are just going…. badly

-the one where you desperately cling to your horse’s neck for several seconds, foolishly thinking you will be able to stay on, before, in fact, coming off

-the one where you mess up the take off and come off over a jump

-the one where your horse stops and you alone go flying over the jump (somehow have not experienced this yet)

-the one where your horse goes badly through a turn and you both go down together

-the one where your brain goes offline for a minute and you lose your balance doing something easy
