Rubin

Most of you know that horses have been my passion for many many years. I used to spend every day at the riding club when I grew up, and kept doing it until I moved to Australia. In Australia I did some riding on and off, and even competed a little in show jumping, but when I got pregnant and had Jakob I stopped. The horse I was riding over there was at a friends farm 90 kilometers from where we live and it wasn't practical anymore.
When we moved back to Sweden I started riding once a week for a few months until the horse got sold. Now I am back helping Bettan (I used to rider her old horse for many years before I moved) with her young horse. The riding club is only 10 min from where we live but it is still hard to find time to go, especially when Adam has been working late evenings. I try to go once a week, with or without Jakob. Jakob really likes being there, he loves watching the horses jump and he likes filling water buckets.
It doesn't matter so much that I can't go there so often, this is a stage in my life when it is just not possible, and I know when time allows me again I will do much more riding. For now, I am happy to go there when I can and even one day a week is better than nothing.
