| If only travelling was stress-free :) |
It’s quite difficult to juggle riding and a job, especially
if that job requires quite a bit of travel. For the last several months I’ve
been travelling for work roughly a week each month, and with trainers out of
town and unable to take over, I’ve been feeling the stress of not getting the
BHB the exercise he wants. He’s been a surprisingly good egg about it,
especially since he’s been known to become a bit of a brat when he goes 3+ days
without getting ridden. Maybe the better turnout at his new place is keeping
him pacified while both Heather and I are out of town.
I have another work trip in a couple weeks, but it’s not going
to be the same week Heather will be out of town, so we will be able to keep my
beast happy. Thank goodness for horse trainers that can ride the busy business
professional’s horses! It’s a symbiotic relationship—they need clients to make
a living and we need people who are available to ride and train our horses! I’d
like to say that I’m one of those adult amateurs that’s successfully working up
the levels and doing everything on her own, but I’m not sure that’s even
possible to do while being a business professional working a full-time job in a
big city… Maybe if I didn't work full time or if I lived (and worked) close to
a barn, but certainly not right now.
