On the Buckle | "Can we ever truly give 100%?"
Ever feel like you're juggling horses, kids, and a mounting pile of guilt? Welcome to the wild ride of equestrian parenthood... with a sprinkle of honesty, humour, and a dash of chaos.
In this On the Buckle submission, Katie shares her recent "horse-accident-turned-life-moment," proving that "being on the buckle" is less about relaxation and more about surviving with a smile.
In this episode, she talks...
The real meaning behind "on the buckle" (spoiler: it’s not about relaxing)
How a recent horse injury turned into an emotional rollercoaster (blood, guilt, and all)
The magic of acceptance... when life is splattered with surprises
Why giving 100% is a myth - and working out that’s okay
And remember: Sometimes "on the buckle" just means hanging on tight and laughing (or trying to!!) through the chaos. You’re doing great - blood, sweat, tears, and all!
