In Praise of Thunder Thighs
Body-image issues aren’t uncommon amongst female equestrians. Here’s why you should learn to embrace being strong over being skinny.
Hard earned through long hours in the saddle and no-stirrup torture sessions, the same strong muscles that keep us glued to the tack when this happens…
Or this…
Or this…
The muscles that keep alive our dreams of doing this…
Might suddenly seem, in an outside world full of skinny jeans…
And social pressure to be thin at whatever cost,
Much more quarter horse….
Than thoroughbred.
We say, own it.
All of it.
Because while you could be inside playing it safe…
Instead, you’re out there tackling challenges you never even dreamed possible.
Go Riding.
