As every year, there is much for me to be thankful for this year.

… the opportunity to learn about life and love from chimpanzees, especially Janie.

My two best munchkins …

… and their growing love!

Vets who are somehow willing to put up with my shit …

… and barn moms who know exactly when and what they need to show up for.

 

Wonderful friends who are always willing to talk horses with me…

… who take photos of me being awesome …

… and less than awesome …

… and for trainers who know how to fix my problems!

 

… and who love me even when I cry, which is a lot.

 

 

 

For new friends, who enable me by selling their gently-used tack so I can have the BRIDLE I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED ITS FROM MY DREAMS

… or who remind me what is really important…

(arm hair and dirty skin is not what is really important)

New opportunities …

… and lots of cute ponies.

And of course, I am thankful that I have a wonderful teacher (creature?)….

… who keeps me accountable for all of my shit …

… and lets me win just enough that I feel like I’m doing something right.
