A Final Farewell

I knew the day would eventually come when this space would no longer bring me joy. I have often wondered whether I am more rider or writer. I guess I have my answer. When push comes to shove, I'd rather ride than write.

So many amazing things have happened to me because of this space. I have made some fantastic friends; if you're reading this, I am probably talking about you. I have challenged myself, learned new things, and explored a riding discipline I knew nothing about.

With that said, I think I've said all I can say. Each week, I write stories about my equestrian life, but lately, I struggle to find something new to say. And frankly, it's a bit weird for a 52 year old to keep a web log about her foibles and occasional successes anyway. 

I started blogging when I turned 40; even that was old by blogger standards. Back then, the internet wasn't filled with all things equestrian. I wanted to learn everything there was to know about dressage, but there wasn't very much available online. I figured there were others out there who were searching for the same answers I was, so I figured if not me, then who? Now, my Facebook feed is full of nothing but equestrian products, dressage organizations, trainer tips, and equestrian groups of every kind.

​So, this is it; the last post. I know the time is right because as soon as I made the decision to let this space go, I felt a gigantic weight lifted from my shoulders. For many years, I have cranked out post after post even when I didn't want to. I hated the thought of disappointing those readers who came here to have their morning coffee. I'lll miss you for sure, but I am confident you'll find something else to read with your morning latte or cappuccino.

I currently "rent" my domain name, and I pay this platform to host my site, so everything will stay up until my accounts need to be renewed early next year. I won't add any new content, but I won't take the site down until my accounts expire.

Whether we've been friends, frenemies, or you thought I was a train wreck, it's been fun. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for allowing me to write to you each morning. 

​See you around!
