Unveiling the Equestrian Life: Love, Laughter, and Lessons Learned
Welcome to the first segment of our deep dive into the heart and soul of the equestrian world, as narrated by Aaron Englander, the Director of Just Horse Riders. In episode 4 of our podcast series, Aaron shares humorous anecdotes, personal experiences, and the unspoken truths of horse riding that every equestrian can relate to. This article promises a blend of insight, humor, and valuable lessons, making it a must-read for anyone passionate about horse riding.
The Yard Jacket Saga: A Tale of Love and Stench
The story begins with a seemingly innocent hug that turned into a sensory overload, courtesy of what's fondly referred to as the "yard jacket". Aaron humorously recounts, "All Equestrians need to be made aware of this. You probably don't even know you're doing it." This jacket, emblematic of hard work and dedication, carries with it not just the smell of the stable but the unwavering love for our equine companions. It's a testament to the grit and grime that comes with the territory. But let's be honest, a fresh jacket wouldn't hurt. Use the discount code SMELLYJACKET for 10% off a new one on our website.
The Unspoken Equestrian Love Language: Horse Turds vs. Dirty Socks
Through a lighthearted comparison between picking up a horse turd and a dirty sock, Aaron enlightens us on the unique love language of equestrians. "I physically saw her bare gloved pick up a horse turd. Obviously, I'm not going to argue because love is love." This anecdote not only tickles the funny bone but also sheds light on the deep-seated affection equestrians have for their horses, far surpassing the disdain for mundane chores.

Charting the Journey: Triumphs and Trials in Equestrian Competition
In episode 4, Aaron shares the inspiring journey of his wife, Chan, in the equestrian competition circuit. From the grueling preparations to the "heartache of near misses," the narrative encapsulates the rollercoaster of emotions experienced by competitors. "She came seventh out of 33 and was absolutely ecstatic," Aaron recalls, highlighting the joy in overcoming challenges and the sense of achievement in equestrian sports. This tale is not just about Chan's dedication but serves as a testament to the resilience required in this sport.
The Highs and Lows: A Lesson in Resilience
The path to the regional finals was fraught with anticipation and unexpected setbacks, the most poignant of which was Kelly's sudden lameness. "The injury just came on instantly...she was so, so upset," Aaron recounts, touching on the fragility of dreams in the competitive world. Yet, it's the response to disappointment that truly defines an equestrian's spirit. Chan's determination to "see what's next" exemplifies the undaunted resolve that every rider must possess.
