If someone had told me six years ago, when I took my very first riding lesson, that this would one day become my reality, I would never have believed it — I swear. Very often, the little steps lead to something very big.🐎 Nothing is easy, of course. Every day comes with different challenges, but meeting beautiful people from all over the world, united by a shared passion for horses and riding, and creating unforgettable experiences for them… that is something that truly makes me happy. What does horse riding mean to me? Lately, I’ve been thinking about this question a lot. It’s not only about sport, freedom, or even the animals themselves. My father was born in the Year of the Horse. No, he wasn’t a rider, but whenever I had doubts about important decisions in my life, he always knew exactly what to say to encourage me. He constantly reminded me that whatever I wanted to create, I would be able to achieve it. My father passed away last year, and losing him was one of the most important losses of my life. Every time I see these beautiful animals, it feels like hugging a part of his soul and remembering his words. And here I am: tired, dirty, with one earring missing … but happy like a child ❤️🤠 🥰🎥 @polinarinaldi #horses #Italy #horseriding #life #equestrian #nature #views #goodvibes
