In this episode of The Equestrian Adult Amateur , hosts Alexis and Kelly provide a heartfelt update on their lives, sharing the latest happenings with their horses and how they’ve recently settled into a busy yet fulfilling routine. They dive deep into the challenges faced in the equestrian community, particularly the unrealistic expectations and pressures exacerbated by social media.
Kelly opens up about the constant comparison to elite riders and trainers, emphasizing the need to uplift the stories of everyday riders—those who balance jobs, families, and financial limitations—bringing a more relatable perspective to the sport. They passionately discuss the importance of showcasing not only the successes but also the struggles and realities encountered by top riders.
Throughout the conversation, they address the pressure to present a perfect, curated version of oneself online, highlighting the often-ignored struggles and setbacks that come with pursuing equestrian goals. Kelly encourages listeners to embrace their imperfections and set realistic expectations for themselves.
The hosts also connect with two adult amateur riders, who share their personal journeys, discussing the delicate balance of their love for horses with everyday life demands. They touch on the complexities of being a business owner and the unique challenges that come with having a spouse involved in the riding world.
