Skibbereen Farm

Doing lessons on December 11th and still riding outside! Warm temps and sunshine = happy horses & happy riders! #skibbereenfarm #bestfootingnomattertheweather

Attached article is about my best friends' daughter. Although it is about skiing and not riding, it is still worth the read. Knowing Parker personally, she is determined and committed. She goes to bed early, she eats healthy, she studies hard and takes her schoolwork seriously, while she is committed to working hard to get better and succeed at her sport. She's not just sitting around, taking selfies, and complaining about the horses or the judging. I challenge my riders... to read this article, look into the mirror and assess your own attitude. I can't wait to see who's dropping their stirrups, reading more, learning more, practicing more, and taking their health and mental well being seriously. Be like Kobe...... be like Parker....... I look to forward to seeing your progress. Show me riders..... https://skiracing.com/taylor-parker-biele-is-my-hero/
