Welcome to the newly repurposed "The In-Gate"! I've hung up my spurs from the horse show mom advice business, but I hope you'll
set a spell and read my humor essays, all about having and being had by horses. And if you came to this site looking for The In-Gate: A
Parent's Guide to Horse Shows, you can still order copies here.

Riding in Balance
My horses are my hobby; a very important one, but still a hobby. Other people do my horses'
horsekeeping, and I go for lessons, for competitions, and for "horse time". Like most amateur riders,
I strive to learn to ride in balance.
But riding in balance has other meanings for me too. Riding keeps other areas of
my life in balance. It helps keep me in balance (just ask Husband). At the same time, it has to be balanced with the other things important to me: family, friends, work, volunteering. I notice when I need to ride less
to accomplish other goals. I notice when I need to ride more, for my own wellbeing and to accomplish my horse goals.
It ain't a perfect system. But like riding every step, readjusting my body with each movement my horse and
I make, I strive to keep in balance in my life.
How about you? How do you do it?
