Nobody ever said it’d be easy girl,
Nope, nobody ever did.
Nobody every told you about the pain & the struggle,
Nope, nobody every did.

Nobody every told you about the strain on relationships,
Nobody ever told you about the times you’d spit dirt looking up at the horse that threw you,
Nope, nobody ever did.
Nobody ever told you about the overdrawn bank accounts & emergency vet visits,
Nope, nobody ever did.
Nobody ever told you about the times you’d never make it in the ring,
Nobody ever told you about getting thrown in warm up,
Nobody ever told you about the fourteenth day of your work week,

Nobody every told you how it would feel to call an owner and tell the they lost their horse.
Nobody ever said it’d be easy girl,
Nope, nobody ever did.
Nobody every said it’d be easy girl,
But nothing worth it ever is!
I believe “The Crazy Fools” need to compose a tune to this post… And I believe that if anyone did tell you all the horsemanship realities, You would’ve taken on the challenge anyway.
