A day with my horses at the yard - Vlog 223 - Beth Endurance

I too often have a schedule to stick to, training to complete, jobs that need doing. So when I have a day that I have decided will be a no adulting, no timetable, no pressure day it is absolute bliss.
I decided to go for a slow 5km chilled out hack on Estrid in the sunshine. I cleaned a saddle I'd been meaning to sell since June last year. I gave Tissy a bath ready for her to start being ridden and I did all of it just because, not because I'd written a list that needed completing or had a deadline to stick to or a goal to aim for, and that feeling was actually really nice.
My brain would not cope with this strategy long term. I need structure and lists and schedules to keep all the plates spinning and reduce the feeling on trying to keep everything in my head at once, but every now and again on a rare day with nothing planned, it's really nice to just do whatever I want to do, just because.
Thanks for watching,
Beth

What a lovely, relaxing but productive day! I haven't had a no stress day with the ponies like that in a very long time. (Working 2 jobs means I'm ALWAYS in a rush. ) Good luck selling your saddle! I'm about ready to sell mine after losing my horse. She was a TB, and my coming 3 year old is a Morgan... from big shark fin to tiny chonka! 😂

What a nice, relaxing day. Estrid is so funny with her personality and Tissy looked defeated after her bath because she worked so hard at getting dirty, lol. I wish that could happen at my barn. Every time I show, I always get bombarded by other boarders "Jen did this happen, Jen did you do this, Jen did you feed, Jen did you even look at me", etc....I bet my gelding AJ would be further along without me having to answer a game of 20000000 questions when I am out there. Yes, I do chores out there every other Saturday morning and every Sunday morning, but during the week, people seem to forget I have a full time job.

This was such a cozy vlog, thank you for sharing a lovely day with us! So excited about the year ahead and following your journey, I'd never heard of reactor panel saddles before so will be super interesting to see one that's customised more for you. Also enjoyed how it looked as though Tissy planned getting herself extra mucky knowing that you were planning a bath XD
