So I used to take lessons about two years ago at an amazing stable and loved it!!! I volunteered there running pony camps for little kids and earned hours to put towards free lessons with an instructor. It kept me busy and being around animals has always been amazing therapy for me. While with my ex bf, I lost sight of the things I loved doing and stopped riding, in turn my anxiety and depression built up over time. Since the breakup I’ve had more time to find the things I love doing and riding is my all time favourite!!!Being on a horse is so exciting and makes me filled with happiness. While on the horse I have an overwhelming feeling of freedom and joy and every bad feeling I have just vanishes. I become one with the animal and it also gives my body the exercise it needs. I leave the lesson feeling sore but completely fulfilled. It’s the one thing that makes me feel like I’ve accomplished something and been productive. I’m never losing sight of the things that make me happy again!! #Anxiety #Depression #HorsebackRiding #Fullfillment
