Back in the Saddle


If there is one path that I always fall back on its the one that includes my four-legged friends, horses!


My current job at the Comox Therapeutic Riding Centre is amazing! I look after eight adorable horses with very unique personalities. Going from close to one hundred horses at Absolute Equestrian to eight is a big change, but I like it. I look very forward to my shifts here. Plus on top of typical barn chores, I get to drive around a golf cart to clean outdoor fields which is pretty fun!






I also ride a horse named Buttercup, a seventeen-year-old mare. Her owner was looking for someone to provide her with some exercise a few times a week, so I jumped on board for that. Buttercup is a great horse, with a big personality. She is nervous about a lot of things, but we have been working to overcome her fears!






Life in the Comox Valley is good! I live in Courtney with an amazing roommate, and some pretty adorable pets. 




I also work at Eatmore Greens and Sprouts Greenhouse with some pretty amazing co-workers and great management. Staff perks are free sprouts to eat!


Jiu-jitsu has been a little rough lately. I was pretty sick with several things for a while and then being a new blue belt at a new gym is a bit of a challenge too. I show up when I can because I know I won't get better till I make training more consistent. The guys at this gym are super nice and supporting though, and I am sure once I can train more regularly my game will definitely improve.

So yeah, I am back in full swing, but a little more static for now living in one place. There might not be much blogging from me this November because of NaNoWriMo. Check that out on the previous blog post. Hope you all have a fantastic November, keep rocking on!
