Legend has it that some people have unlimited time with their horses. They lazily chat up their friends and cool out for an hour. They graze their horses until they’re bone dry. They linger for hours playing with the dogs and watching the goings-on ringside.
They never blow in 12 minutes before their lessons and power-walk their horses to the ring, apologizing breathlessly. They don’t send emails from their horses’ backs. They don’t spill 500 peppermints across the barn aisle because they were trying to carry everything in one time-saving trip. They never cancel lessons with two hours’ notice because they’re stuck at work, and they don’t skip cleaning tack because they have to at least see their husbands tonight.
