And soon, you’ll come to find that H.A.R.C is as much like a family to each other and hopefully one day we will become your family too.

Walking through the doors of the place you feel most at home and letting all of the hard times wash over you, letting all the good times sink in and just remembering that it’s all worth it. Every fracture that forms will soon be smoothed over, every divide will come back together. Family is like concrete. Stays together no matter what and it may be fractured from time to time. But it can always be fused back together. Whatever the damages that can still be seen are only proof that family will come with fractures and cracks in the foundation at times but it will always stay together no matter what.

So hey I’m Annabelle and I’m one to enjoy to smell of hay, horsehair and even wet horse if we’re going there. I have been with H.A.R.C for almost ten or eleven years now and every moment has made me better in every way and because of that, I feel comfortable in sharing it with you guys. There isn’t much you will entirely be able to figure out about me because I prefer to keep myself hidden until I need to open up, but since it’s time to get real I will open up to you guys.
So when I first started with H.A.R.C, I was shy and I was not confident in who I was and what I did. There wasn’t a good chance of anyone being able to get me to speak up or talk I’m general unless they really asked me to. But over the eleven years that I’ve been working with H.A.R.C, I’ve come to understand the time, patience and persistence it takes to get someone to where they need/want to be in life and I think any knowledge like that, is the best knowledge to have over everything else. So H.A.R.C has been like a second space for me over the years and when I’m there and around the horses and the other people who are there, I can feel comfortable enough to know that I can say something about whatever may or may not be bugging me, but I also feel secure about being able to say what I need to and not having anyone get upset at me or anything like that. So all in all I can 100% guarantee that if you come down and you start working with H.A.R.C, that you’ll come to grow ten times more confident about every single detail about who you are and what makes you tick then you were before you started working around these people. I’m being 100% honest here there is not one single doubt in my mind that you won’t feel better about yourself and like you have more control over your life. Someone up there somewhere above is looking after me because I swear that H.A.R.C has been my saving grace. I wouldn’t change any of the hardships I’ve gone through, any of the painful situations I’ve been in...I wouldn’t change any of it because I wouldn’t have found H.A.R.C if it weren’t for the path I was lead down. I promise you that you aren’t alone in what you’re going through or what goes on inside your head okay? I promise because I’ve been there too I have. H.A.R.C is a safe place and there is no need for you to be frightened, I promise. -Annabelle |

At the Horse and Rider Connection, we believe that everyone has a voice and deserves a chance to express it. When we decided to start a blog, we wanted something that reflects our views as an organization. So we decided to do something a little different than a normal day-to-day record of what we are up to. We decided to give a platform to ALL of our members of H.A.R.C. including the participants of our various programs, all the way to our Board Members. ArchivesCategories |
