So how did you spend your bank holiday weekend? Here in the UK we got an extra day added to our weekend, and the big bonus was the sun 🌞 have put in an appearance for three solid days - very rare on a bank holiday!

I spent it with our son and his family in Norway 🇳🇴 our grandson was 12 on Sunday 😁
Comparison
We often compare our progress with others. Some people are sprinting. Some are healing. Some are surviving. Some are building quietly behind the scenes. Some are still trying to work out what they even want. And honestly? Life isn’t a race round an arena where only one person gets a rosette. We’re all heading in different directions, carrying different stories, different griefs, different privileges, different fears, different dreams. Comparison steals so much joy. Especially now, when social media makes it look like everyone else has: ✨ the perfect horse ✨ the perfect life ✨ the perfect relationship ✨ the perfect business ✨ their shit together Meanwhile most of us are just trying to remember why we walked into the tack room and whether we paid the farrier 🤣 You do not need to rush, your path does not need to look like somebody else’s. There is room for all of us. Different lanes. Different timelines. Different versions of success. Remember comparison is the thief of dreams. Do you compare yourself to others? In what way?

I still do….. not nearly so much now I’m older. Trying to believe in yourself and being strong enough to say “this is who I am” is not the easiest thing to do 🤔
Weekly Wins
It’s that time of the week where we look back over the last seven days and pick out our wins (or glimmers) from the week. Why do we do this each week? 1) it’s great to recognise our wins and get a pat on the back. (Good dopamine hit) 2) inspire others! 3) most important of all to train our brain to look for the good stuff! And we all know by now how the RAS works and why it’s key to focus on the good stuff! Missed the RAS info? Check it out in the classroom.

My weekly win was receiving my Dressage scores from my online dressage tests 😁 I did question them with my Trainer who explained that Nancy and I were in our happy place. No travelling, no other lively horses in the warm up… no stress. She explained that our scores at home would always be our best scores because of this 😊 Another friend said that it would also give the Judge the opportunity to rewind and watch again… a bit like VAR in football 🤪 So I’m really proud of both of us.

It’s Friday, so what are your wins from the last week? This includes big or small wins or even those little glimmers…

Enjoy Devon @Janet Wilson 😁
How did you spend your weekend?
With such fabulous weather, I bet lots of you were out on your horses. I had a nice relaxing weekend with some gardening and then a family BBQ. How did you spend yours?

After having a couple of days off we had a lovely bendy, stretchy horsey Pilates Session in the school Saturday, followed by a gentle hack around the block Sunday 😁 Nancy is looking forward to her soft tissue session tomorrow ❤️

I am 66, Nancy is now 13. She’s my first horse and I’ve had her for 5 years. I love her sooo much much and want to do things correctly.
