Saddle Up & Shine: My First Horseback Ride at 33 and Our First Global Brand Collaboration in Central Florida

By Dara Bailey Productions LLC

 There are moments in life that redefine everything you thought you knew about yourself. For me, this was one of them.

  At 33 years old, I saddled up for my very first horseback ride—not just as a personal milestone, but as the beginning of something deeply significant: the inaugural brand collaboration for Dara Bailey Productions LLC. This transformative moment took place at the stunning Riding School Academy in Central Florida, a place that now represents so much more than location—it’s become the heartbeat of our vision for Summer 2025.

This wasn’t just about learning to ride a horse. It was about reclaiming my path, my purpose, and my power.

A Ride That Changed Everything

   Mounting that beautiful horse was a full-body awakening. What started as nervous anticipation quickly evolved into a feeling of profound strength. Fear gave way to faith. Doubt dissolved into empowerment.

   For anyone who’s ever postponed a dream because of age, fear, or circumstance—let this be your reminder: it is never too late to feel fully alive.

This wasn’t just a horseback ride.It was healing.It was growth.It was spiritual.It was a masterclass in becoming.
