Finding friends in the horse world as a 20-something

Hi!

What an important question 🥰 It is not always easy to find your people, and I really do understand how sad and dispiriting it feels.

I am admittedly a little older than 20-25, but I hope I can offer some support and tips that might work.

🐴 If you have your own horse, could you move them to a slightly bigger yard where there are more people to get to know?

🐴 Have you tried going on a course or a riding camp, either with your own horse or a borrowed one? You can meet like-minded people there and get the chance to know one another while you spend whole days together. That tends to build a really lovely sense of belonging quickly.

🐴 Getting involved with a riding club or riding school can be a good idea too, whether as a steward at competitions, on the committee or helping younger riders. It is a great way to meet new people.

I hope some of this helps you, and I wish you the very best of luck 🐴🤗🦄
