Equestrian Mums Worldwide: Ever Wish You Could Pay it Forward?

Equestrian Mums Worldwide: Ever Wish You Could Pay it Forward?
Sarah, Equitas Co-Founder & her 1st Daughter Paige, about to commence a coaching session.

Equestrian mums, this is your moment. You know better than anyone the balance it takes to navigate a life full of riding, caring for your horses, and raising your children. Now, we’re creating something that’s going to showcase the incredible lives you lead—and we want you to be part of it.

From the early-morning rides when the world is still quiet, to the laugh-out-loud moments when life with horses and kids collide, your journey as an equestrian mum is one-of-a-kind. And your story? It deserves to be shared with the world. This is your chance to get involved, to have your voice heard by equestrian mums across the globe. And trust us, it’s going to be something special.

What We’re Looking For

We’re calling on equestrian mums from every corner of the world to share the real, raw, and relatable moments that define your life. Here’s what we’d love to hear from you:

  • How would you define being an equestrian mum in just one sentence? This is your life, and we’re looking for your unique take. Whether it’s funny, heartfelt, or completely unexpected, your words will resonate with other mums out there.
  • Your stories that make equestrian mum life unforgettable. Picture this: You’re rushing to get the kids ready for school, but the morning chaos is interrupted by your horse deciding it’s the perfect moment to cause a little trouble. Or perhaps it’s that feeling of accomplishment when you manage to squeeze in a ride between work and dinner. Share those little moments—those highs, lows, and everything in between.
  • The lighthearted words from your kids. We all know that kids have a way of summing things up in ways that are both honest and hilarious. What do your children think about life as an equestrian mum? Their insights—whether heartwarming or laugh-out-loud funny—add a perfect touch of humour to this project.

We’re looking for 1-3 liners or stories no longer than 6-10 lines. It doesn’t have to be long to make an impact. The small moments are often the most meaningful, and we want to highlight those snapshots that truly reflect your journey.

Why You Should Get Involved

This isn’t just another opportunity. It’s a global celebration of equestrian mums—mums who are balancing barn time with family time, who are facing the challenges head-on, and who are finding the joy in every moment. You’ll be part of something that will resonate worldwide, showcasing the life that only equestrian mums truly understand.

And this isn’t just for mums from one part of the world. We’re looking for equestrian mums everywhere, whether you’re balancing summer heat in Australia, rainy seasons in Ireland, or snowy winters in Canada. No matter where you are, your story is part of the bigger picture.

How to Reach Us

It’s simple. Send us your stories—whether through a DM on Instagram @equitasworldwide or by emailing Sarah directly Sarah@equitas.ie .

Equestrian mums (and Dads!), this is our time to help each other out... your experiences and stories of the balancing act hold real value and sharing them with likeminded people, means we either gain joy as parents who have been there, done that and can relate! OR...provide an amazingly helpful resource to those facing it or in the thick of it, and could benefit from the knowledge of all the Equestrian Mums that have gone before them!

So whether it’s a quick one-liner or a short story, now’s the time to share. Pay it forward... You’ll be part of something unforgettable.
