  • I started riding pretty much before I can remember.

  • I was probably two when I first sat on a horse and maybe four when I took my first lesson.

  • I know what horse I first rode.

  • Her name was Sweet Pea.

  • The horse lived two doors up from me and would come down to our house and I'd get on and I just remember loving it and then from that moment on I was hooked.

  • I don't know, I don't think there's something I can pinpoint.

  • I think that honestly you either like love it or you might not understand it and I think I just was one of those people that just really loved it.

  • I think it's studied and widely known that there's very therapeutic aspects to horses in general.

  • I'd say it's very calming.

  • It's definitely a form of exercise.

  • It's also a really nice way of getting yourself outside.

  • But I think for me specifically it's like something I did in my childhood that I loved so much.

  • As an adult now coming back to it is almost like nostalgic.

  • Doing it almost like gives me a sense of feeling like I'm a kid again.

  • But yeah I think that there's so many therapeutic aspects to it.

  • Just like a walk would for some people.

  • Some people like if they're you know struggling with an answer or trying to find resolution in something in their life I think a lot of people like to go for a walk.

  • For me it's like I run to my horses.

  • There's something so energetically like majestic about horses and the fact that they allow you into their presence the way they do I think is also really cool.

  • It's so weird because I feel like for me it's it's been such a big part of my life so naturally and organically it's like hard to put words to it in a way.

  • It's just something you got to feel.

  • Hi buddy.

  • Say hi to Vogue.

  • Say hi to Vogue.

  • This is Arizona.

  • My cowboy.

  • You got a mouthful of grass dude.

  • You have too much.

  • It's not possible.

  • We gave him grass and he'll go to town.

  • He'll stay here all day.

  • We're just gonna go for a ride around these hills to find some pretty grass.

  • It just rained a lot so we've gotten a lot of green.

  • This isn't usually this green so we're really lucky.

  • Go this way.

  • The biggest thing is like comfort with a horse especially one that you own.

  • I found him in Arizona hence his name and from the moment I rode him I just remember feeling extremely comfortable and I knew he was the one for me the second I sat on him.

  • He's doing really well.

  • I wasn't sure if he was gonna be scared of the crew but he's actually chilling.

  • You'd think you were a movie star but you're not a movie star.

  • I do very casual just chill riding on him.

  • We ride around bareback all day long.

  • I'll throw a western saddle on him.

  • I feel the most free when I'm with him.

  • There's an aspect to riding that is talking and they do understand.

  • So I mean talking about riding and all that versus like when we're alone he's the only person I can talk to.

  • Go.

  • Especially with Arizona if I ever feel overwhelmed or super anxious which is most of the time I usually like to run out here and go for a ride and again I think nature is a huge part of that.

  • I think just being outside as cheesy as it sounds the wind through my hair like it does it is there's something so special about it.

  • When I'm with Arizona I'm full cowgirl like I live both worlds for sure.

  • I have my bougie horse girl life and then I have my life with Arizona which is very like laid back.

  • I'm like no makeup just chilling backwards hat.

  • I have a full country playlist that I play when I'm with him.

  • I just fully dive into my experience with him.

  • I do think that in a past life I was like a hardcore cowgirl because I just love the lifestyle so much.

  • I play Repted Redemption all the time by the way.

  • It's my favorite video game ever.

  • I think that I'm definitely someone who aspires to live like a really simple life one day.

  • I realize I don't have that now.

  • I'm grateful for what I have now and I'm happy about that still and I enjoy every moment but I think that I enjoy the simple things.

  • Absolutely horses are incredibly grounding and like that experience for me is incredibly grounding.

  • The ride was great.

  • The ride was perfect.

  • Yeah, I think I'm definitely really happy I got it in.

  • I'm happy that the weather was beautiful and it feels good.

  • It's been a little while.

  • I think this is his first of many shoots.

  • Once people get a look at him I think the offers are going to start pouring in.

  • Goodbye Vogue.

  • Thank you for having us and Arizona we'll be back anytime.

  • Come on.

  • We'll be back.

I started riding pretty much before I can remember.
