Destiny: decides your life

Hey dudes!

So the other day, my friend brought me to her barn to visit her horse.

Firstly, just so that you know my passion was horses, and I use to compete and I had the best bond ever with my horse named Duster.

So as we get there I have this weird little feeling inside me. A kind of feeling that all my old equine memories came back suddenly. I walked around snapping some shots around the paddock and pasture and just thought to myself how much I missed horseback riding.

It has been around a year now that I have quit riding, but I guess it is the type of passion that will always come back and somewhat haunt you forever. Why haunt? Because every day I wake up to a picture of me and Duster jumping in a competition and then I wonder to myself what if I didin't quit... Where would I be right now? Because a part of me regrets desperatly to have quit this amazing sport and then another part of me says it's too late to go back and redo everything.

Just watching my friend ride her horse, made me happy and sad. Because I miss having an amazing bond with my man, and having to go to the barn everyday and getting up early for competitions and coming home with a bunch of ribbons all excited for the next one! I guess what I miss the most about it was that I felt important for once. Usually I would be blending in the crowd and no one really notices me, but for once when I would be out there in the ring, people would notice me and I could shine for once. 

But for now all I can really do is dream about my equine dreams, and just move forward and accept the fact that I'm probably never going to compete again hahaha! Or even jump again! I guess what I learned is that life is really unexpected. For example I always thought I would do something in the equine world, live my life with horses, but instead an unexpected event happened and I found myself shooting snowboarders and skateboarders! It's not terrible mind you snowboarding will always be a part of me, and waking up on cold snowy mornings getting ready to go shred the mountain will forever be the best feeling ever, but it's funny how life magically showed me a new passion and a new life.

So you have to be open to yourself and what life brings to you. Because Life plays with destiny and how you are going to end up, so you can't try and fight against it because destiny is going to win, and just letting it win in the beginning will make you happier than trying to fight it and realize how stupid you were for trying to fight it!

Anyways, here are some pictures at my friends barn, enjoy :)
