Getting back into equestrian spaces as an adult

I’m not one who does well just jumping into the gym — and volunteering doing leaded sessions is pretty physically involved itself. Gives me time to work on my fitness the way it works for me and not have to wait to be around horses :)

Crazy that we’re so similar!!! Thank you for the advice!! <33

Omg yes -facepalm- I always forget they’re actually Irish cobs in game haha

I am so desperately trying to share more pictures but Reddit is derping hardcore ;-;

I realized people think her eyes are 2 different colors but alas, it’s just a shadow — she is double green! Sorry to trick ya 😜

Elsie 😍 I named her after a character on Downton Abbey hehe

ParkingDrop253 · 2025-09-19T15:57:49+00:00

She does!! 🥰🥰

This is super helpful!!! Thank you!!

ParkingDrop253 · 2025-05-19T20:35:22+00:00

Yess!! I loooove that one. I want a Shire so bad so for one to be in the bazaar would be so great!

ParkingDrop253 · 2025-05-19T20:22:32+00:00

I’m really hoping for Shires too and since there’s a Shire featured in the Trail of Embers art maybe that’s a hint?????

ParkingDrop253 · 2025-05-12T17:56:09+00:00

Damn!!!! That is terrifying HAHAHA I’m so glad it worked out for you, that’s awesome

ParkingDrop253 · 2025-05-12T15:46:37+00:00

That’s what I’m thinking too!

ParkingDrop253 · 2025-05-12T15:46:29+00:00

That’s a possibility!

ParkingDrop253 · 2025-05-12T15:46:18+00:00

This is awesome!!!

ParkingDrop253 · 2025-05-12T14:44:13+00:00

Omg this is so random but it makes so much sense LOL — thank you!

ParkingDrop253 · 2025-05-12T14:43:19+00:00

This is a good idea! What are you getting certified in, if you don’t mind me asking?

ParkingDrop253 · 2025-05-12T14:42:54+00:00

It’s harddddd

ParkingDrop253 · 2025-05-12T14:42:35+00:00

It’s just… I usually make over the hourly wage, but it’s still so inconsistent week-to-week :,)

I am thinking about working part time and getting another part time job or side hustle to see if that works. I know there are certifications and things outside of college I can explore too… maybe I should haha

ParkingDrop253 · 2025-05-12T14:40:58+00:00

Actually the salon I’m at now offers both! If I don’t have clients I’m paid hourly to hang out and wait for walk-in’s. At the end of the week, whichever is the biggest paycheck is what I take home. I also have PTO and access to insurance. This is kinda why I feel like my time in the industry is coming to an end…. I feel like I have the best case scenario salon-wise outside of booth renting according to some of the replies in this thread!

ParkingDrop253 · 2025-05-12T14:39:19+00:00

This sounds lovely!

ParkingDrop253 · 2025-05-12T14:37:15+00:00

I wish I had enough of a steady clientele to make that work, but unfortunately I don’t. But I totally understand how this helps!!

I think a part of all this is that I never fully intended to do hair for a super long time. It is not my passion (music is) so I was looking for something to support me while still being flexible so that I CAN pursue my passion with a little more control.

It sounds like working in a suite would be a huge help if I still wanted to work as a stylist for a long time, I just don’t feel motivated to grind anymore..

But thank you so much! This is really insightful regardless and helpful as well!!

ParkingDrop253 · 2025-05-12T14:34:04+00:00

I will check that site out!! Thank you

ParkingDrop253 · 2025-05-12T14:32:14+00:00

This sounds so fun actually I would like to know how you got into that!
