Best boys💙

Dear daughters, there are so many distractions in this life. Girlfriends, boyfriends (ack!), cell phones, social media, hormones, and so many other things that ring loudly in your ears.

These are the things I hope you always remember:

1. Your decisions are important. One decision can change the trajectory of your life. It takes courage to decide you are not ready for something, and courage to decide to make yourself vulnerable and try something new. Always be courageous.

2. Maintain your digital privacy. If you would not walk into the lunchroom and shout it out, don't ever text or share it on social media. Your "friends" list will not adhere to the same standards of discretion about your life as you expect, particularly when hitting the forward button is so simple. And never hit send on an email before double-checking who is in the "to" field. Trust me.

3. Use the right measurements. Life is not measured in the amount of likes you get on Instagram, numbers on a scale or even your GPA. And there isn't a "thing" you can buy with the money you make that can fill a void in your soul. Always remember that life is about the impact you have on others, so work on building your brain and growing your heart, and the rest will fall into place.

4. Always believe the best in people. Girls can be mean. Well, really, people can be mean. There will be a million times when someone says something or does something or you are told about something that rips your heart to shreds. Give that person the benefit of the doubt, and then offer them grace -- because when this stuff happens, it is not about you, sweet girl. It says infinitely more about them.

5. Use your voice. Never sit idly by while someone else is being treated poorly. Period.

6. Don't pretend to be something you're not. I often feel that all those cheesy sitcoms on the Disney channel have watered down your brain cells, but this is one lesson they constantly show that I hope has resonated with you. It feels good to fit in and it feels good to be liked, but you will find that being accepted only when you are pretending to be something you're not is an exhausting, unfulfilling experience. And if I ever catch you acting dumb or helpless to attract a boy, I will ground you. Just kidding (not kidding.)

7. Take charge of your own happiness. No one can make you happy. It is a choice you have to make and it is hard. Trying to fill a void in your life with a person -- or with another tangible such as food, alcohol, drugs, etc. is a lost cause. Find out what makes you the happiest, and then do that. A lot.

8. Never diss your sisters or your girlfriends. You need them more than you know.

9. You are enough, exactly as you are. At a minimum of 50 times each day, you will be told you are inadequate, and Photoshop will change what you think is normal. You will feel that your teeth are not white enough. Your hair is too flat. Your boots are cheap. Your thighs touch. Your makeup is wrong. Your voice is too high. Your face is too thin. Your b***s are too big. I wish I could say it gets better, but it doesn't. Do not let these feelings break your spirit and fight against the urge to conform. Love yourself for who you are at this exact moment, because you are perfect. This is a lesson that most of us learn after having kids, but I'm letting you in on it now. You are a gift to this world, and if you ever forget, just ask. I know I'm just your mom, but I have a long list of compelling reasons why you are awesome.

10. The best is yet to come. The next few years will have a lot of highs and lows, but rest assured that no one wants to peak in high school, and you have the best that life has to offer sitting before you. And as it becomes less often that you reach back to grab my hand or beg me to lay with you for just five more minutes, or think I'm the smartest person in the whole wide world, I'll always be there for you -- even when I let you fall before raising you.

I will always love you hard.

❤️

Duzan Riding Academy is looking to hire an equine professional to add to our team of instructors! The ideal candidate will contribute to our barn family by bringing a positive, supportive, and professional attitude that will help shape young riders into well rounded, sportsmanship and horsemanship focused equestrians.

Experience teaching and training required to teach beginner through advanced lessons. Our riders primarily ride huntseat and dressage, and participate in low level eventing, so knowledge of these disciplines is a must. Opportunities to ride and train, coach dressage and/or huntseat IEA teams, and coach at local hunter/jumper and dressage shows as well as mini trials are available to the right candidate.

DRA supports our instructors through providing a curriculum, handling scheduling and communication with clients through our office, and paying for certifications. We have an amazing string of safe school horses and ponies, a great facility to teach in year round, and wonderful clients!

Competitive pay dependent on experience. Send resume to [email protected].

Our small but mighty group of riders rocked the Splash of Class Mini Trial! Hailey and Weston won the Starter division, Lydia and Bailey won Green as Grass where Brooklyn and Evie were also second. Avery and Jack won the Green as Grass Combined Trial, and Ella and Penni won the Intro Test of Choice but were eliminated on XC for jumping the big bank! I’d say we have a few riders ready to move up a division at the next show! Thank you to all our supportive parents for literally the one million ways you make horse showing possible and fun.

And thank you to Kavita for the photos!

Our DRA schooling show last weekend was a blast! Our kids pushed through the hard things, showed off, and learned a lot through feedback from our judge after each division. Thank you Katie Griffiths for your positive and constructive advice!

A huge shoutout goes to Lexi Lin who won the Sportsmanship Award, and Cowboy who was our Horse of the Show!

Next Schooling Show is August 4!
