Cash is doing really well, and my heart feels full every time I look at him.
He has his little routine now: treadmill, sea walker, and I still ride him three days a week just to keep him moving, happy, and feeling like himself. He spends the nights outside where he’s most comfortable, and comes inside during the day because of the heat. It works perfectly for him.
So many people asked me why I didn’t send him to Europe for retirement. The truth is simple: I can’t imagine him far away from me. I want to see him every day, check on him myself, and make sure he gets the life he deserves after everything he gave me.
Cash has shivering, and yes—it makes some things harder for him and us to keep him fit, especially getting up after lying down. It’s a nerve communication issue between the leg and the brain, and it’s something we manage carefully. But despite this, he is still bright, strong, and full of life. He’s doing amazing, and he tells me every day that he still enjoys being part of the routine.
When I think about his career… he is one of the most consistence winning horses in the UAE. From the time he was 6 until he was 18, the things he did for me are hard to put into words. Back then, I hardly even trained—I just competed i only had him to ride back than, i was actually ready with my riding , Cash carried me, taught me, protected me, and gave me moments I will never forget.
Today everything is different. Now I have four horses, and I’ve just bought a new, exciting 3-year-old. I train every day. I take care of my body. I love the process more than ever. I don’t really have interest in anything else—this is my life, and I’m grateful I get to live it also thanks to my husband that support me day in and day out.
And through all of this, Cash is still here with me. My constant. My reminder . My heart horse.
As long as I’m in the UAE, I will keep going, keep building, keep dreaming—and I will keep Cash by my side for as long as he wants to be here with me and us.
He deserves the world. And I’m trying every day to give him exactly that.
