No rest for the weary! Boyd Martin rides three at Jersey Fresh this weekend after his whirlwind Rolex and Badminton weekends. Photo via EN on Instagram.
There’s something to be said about the busy schedule of a professional equestrian. Whether you’re a rider, owner, trainer, coach, or any other form of support staff, there really is no rest for the weary in this world. It’s not for the faint of heart, but it is also motivation for the rest of us to keep reaching for those dreams, as far fetched as they may be.
We’re just a day away from the big day of cross country at Jersey Fresh, so stay tuned for much more!

Weekly Business Tip from Mythic Landing Enterprises:
Are you thinking about sponsorships, but don’t know where to start? Start by making a wish list with two columns. The first column is for companies with products that you already use and love. The second column is for companies with products that you might not use yet, but want to learn more about. Now start thinking about the best way to approach each company. Always stress what you can do for the company! Yes, you are hoping they will provide you with a product or money, but they are expecting something in return. Try to view all sponsorships as advertising in your head, because that is what the companies are expecting to get.
