Hooray for Horse Show Moms!
Happy Mother’s Day, EN! Whether you are a mom with human children of your own, equine children or are the barn-mom of other people’s kids, hopefully today is a great day. I’m looking forward to spending some time with my mother next weekend at the West Coast’s only recognized one-day event, The Event at Woodland Stallion Station. This will be the first time she sees me go cross country. When I was a kid my mother wouldn’t let me event as she was terrified that my saintly pony would be injured on the cross country course. In a way I’m thankful for that. Had I grown up eventing, I think I wouldn’t appreciate the community that comes with it as much as I do today.
