I had a beautiful day! These pictures represent the most exciting NSV of them all for me! My life was horses when I was younger. Before kids I trained, showed, taught lessons... basically lived my life revolving around that whole world. I rode unto my 9th month of pregnancy with my oldest and 8th with my second. During the pregnancy with my third, I had contracted to break a filly before I knew I had a little one on the way. I did the job and then stopped riding at 5 months along. (BTW, I don't recommend anyone ride while they are pregnant. I was very experienced and a bit dumb too!) I tried to keep up with some riding during the next years, but eventually being a mom to 5 and homeschooling full time just crowded out nearly everything else. I got fat and unfit. Although I had contacts who would be happy for me to pick up riding again, I felt I was too overweight. My balance was compromised and I was more likely to be injured when not strong. Today, was my first day back! I rode a couple horses. One is an NRHA champion (for anyone who cares that is a big deal in the reining world) and the light buckskin is a pretty green (newly trained) horse. It was a very special day for me. I am so thankful for you on here who have supported me so much and continue to have faith in me that I can continue this journey.

It’s great that you are getting back to riding! Wish I had time to ride our horses.

Congrats! I was a "horsey girl" growing up. Not nearly to the extent you were/are but I worked at a stable during my preteen and teenage years. I introduced my grandkids to horses but Chase, my granddaughter, is the only one who inherited my love. When she was 4 we pulled up to our friends stable, she got out, took a BIG BREATH & said "Meema/ Papa, don't you just love the smell of horses"? 💕 Congrats on getting back to it. You look great on the horses!

This is wonderful Melissa!! I am so happy for you! Congratulations on rediscovering your passions and getting back to things that excite you! I was thinking about us ladies fitting back into our wedding dresses yesterday, and i realized that fitting in that dress is about so much more than just fitting in that dress! At least for me, it’s about getting back to who I really am, who I was BEFORE I got swept up on this wild ride of motherhood, putting every single person and their needs before my own. I’ll be completely honest, (my kids are both in college now) it feels AMAZING to make choices and decisions based on what I want and what is best for ME!! And by putting myself first (as much as possible) I have improved my life so much already! It makes me want to cry just thinking about it! I’ve missed me!
