What’s Right About Not Riding?

Posted on by Amy Hirsch

It’s been over a week now since anyone has been able to ride on my property. We have 3 more days of rain scheduled, in addition to all the snow and ice melting and adding to the complete sloshiness and overall floodlike nature of my arena and horse paddocks. My trainers, boarders, lesson students, and ME are becoming despondent with the ongoing and impending withdrawal from the almost daily riding to which we are accustomed.

What else is possible here? In my four years out here at Cedar Haven Stables, I haven’t quite seen anything like it.

So what is completely RIGHT about this that I’m not getting?

What opportunity do we all have to discover different things we love to do that we don’t make time for since we are always RIDING???

And how can we be in total allowance for what comes up when we can’t ride?

A lot of stuff was really in my face this week since I couldn’t ride. I thought I had completely lost my “mojo”. I wasn’t inspired or excited about anything. I just did my daily “job” braving the cold and taking care of business out here. But then I remembered that I had signed up for a Deal and Deliver telecall class with Gary Douglas for 1.5 hours a day for 3 days. “Well, why should I bother with that? I mean, I’m bummed! I feel heavy. How is that gonna help me with this great mood I’m in? Can I get a refund or transfer to a different class when I feel “better?”

Probably not. Ok… I’ll just do it. And I did. And I remembered why I take these classes in the first place, and why I sign up for these telecalls – because they are brillliant, because they help me to become aware of my briliance and my ability to shift and change ANYTHING.

I mean, I didn’t change the mud, the slosh, the wetness or the weather, (at least not yet), but I did change something inside me. My ability to feel myself and my ability to choose myself no matter what is going on around me.

What could you choose, that you may be reluctant to choose, because you know if you chose it, will change everything and create more possibilities than you ever imagined?
