In this episode, Alexis and I finally got to catch up after being apart for a bit! We started with some updates, including hair, a new Garmin watch, and the fact that Alexis has been getting very little sleep, before diving into what’s new in our horse lives. Alexis opened up about how challenging it’s been to ride regularly since becoming a mom, and what it felt like to ride her friend’s very well-trained horse. She shared how fun it was, but also how nerve-wracking it can be riding someone else’s horse when you don’t want to mess anything up. Of course, we couldn’t resist a little barn talk, everything from horse trailer prices (and my “trailer anxiety” story) to a horse-shaped pipe cleaner that turned out to be a total fail. We even touched on footing. If you’re an adult amateur balancing real life with barn life, this episode will feel all too familiar. 🐴💬
