"With horses, familiarity breeds comfort. If you haven't been around horses for a while (or ever), the best thing to do is to go to the racetrack, a horse show, a rodeo, or some other horsey activity, and watch the horses. Familiarize yourself with the way they move and behave themselves." - Jane Smiley
Project 365: #353
This was such a fun way to spend a Saturday afternoon, and I had forgotten how much I love horses and all that comes with them. After some secret planning so Jeanne didn't know we would be there (so as to not make her extra nervous with additional spectators!), we went on an adventure to the Sussex showgrounds. A perfect day to watch her compete in a dressage competition. The most amazing part of all this was that she hadn't competed for thirty years! What an inspiration to do what you love, conquer your fears, and follow your passion! And with such finesse!
