IS TIME ON YOUR SIDE?

I had the pleasure of doing this post for The Plaid Horse. NORTH AMERICA’S PREMIER HORSE SHOW MAGAZINE

There are never enough hours in a day, are there?!?

Our lives have become so busy that it can be hard to schedule time for ourselves, which oftentimes includes time with our horses.  Between family, relationships, work, chores, and other life stuff, there seems to be never enough time for quality horse time. In fact, I find myself feeling guilty when I spend “too much time” at the barn because I don’t get much else done.

In my own experience, it feels like when I enter the gate to the barn, I fall into this black hole of time so to speak. In this parallel universe, time flies, and the next thing I know, five hours have gone by. Given that, when am I ever going to get the laundry done, go grocery shopping, prepare dinner, get the mail, wash the truck, let alone get my “real” work done? 

Then again, when I focus on my real work, I feel guilty that I am not spending enough time with my horses and progressing in our horse and human relationship.

Do you feel the same way?
