A wonderful book on the life you have chosen with horses. Bold, honest, and heartfelt, and you will find yourself smiling as you read through the pages that, at times, will describe so much of your life. It sure did for me!
You will quickly realize you are not alone in the sisterhood of horsewomen. Are you feeling worn out, burned out, or bummed out? Are your horse dreams falling apart? Get ready to be encouraged! This book is specially written for women who work on ranches, farms, boarding stables, race tracks, breeding barns, equine vet clinics, or at home taking care of horses. Get ready to be encouraged.I left the world I knew behind, which included nice (CLEAN) clothes, make-up and hair done daily, and friends at my workplace. I was ready to change and become a boarding stable owner and businesswoman, and I thought it was going to be easy!! I even thought it might be glamorous as the barn owner of a large horse boarding facility. WHAT WAS I THINKING!! I really didn't know at the time that there would be days that I would be covered in mud, completely exhausted, and even feeling very lonely in my own barn. Looking back, I realize now that I was not ready for it mentally. I was now a businesswoman trying to learn how to run a barn and business, and I was a wife, mom, and friend trying to find a balance in all of it. My life became crazy overnight. I lost my confidence and I lost myself in all of it. Years later, I have had the privilege of talking with many women all over the country who need encouragement, and above all else, they need to know they are not alone and they will get through it.
It is a life we dream of but the daily job can leave us disenchanted with what we thought our life would be like working with horses and caring for them daily. This book is for all women who take care of horses in any setting. Life can get messy. We lose our tempers at times and struggle to let go of the hurt we feel when someone questions our knowledge or abilities. We can have difficulty saying no to a client and then regret it later. And when we start to lose our confidence in what we know and do for the horses in our care, that is when it really can bring us down. I get it because I have been there, and I want you to know it can be so much better! When you are trying to do it all and feel tired and beaten both mentally and physically, this book will encourage you in ways you were not expecting. I love my job now, but that is only because I have found myself again, and I feel at home and confident as a businesswoman in muddy work boots and worn-out jeans. That is what I want for you also!
This book makes the most wonderful gift for any woman working in the horse industry. You will quickly realize you are not alone in the sisterhood of horsewomen.Also in
