FLORIDA NATIVE & LIFELONG EQUESTRIAN
Hey Ya’ll! My name is Lindsay Roth, I am a South Florida native and current resident, born into an equine enthusiast family, and have been a horse owner for over 20 years.
I am dipping my toe into the blogging universe for the first time! I’ll do my best to post on a wide range of interesting topics that are close to my heart that will hopefully resonate with other equestrians - may they be Southern, Northern, Eastern, or Western! Comments to continue the conversation are always welcome! Just be kind.

THE family inheritance
You could definitely say I inherited my passion for horses from both sides of my family!
My mother, Teresa, grew up breeding and showing Arabian horses in her own backyard when she was a teen, living in Spruce Pine, NC. She rode mostly in the saddleseat discipline and passed along a passion for the breed in general to both me and my dad. They’ve been our favorite ever since.
My father, Michael, was never able to have horses as a youth, but always had a strong interest, taking up trail riding as an adult. My earliest memories are mostly he and I heading out together on rented horses - seemingly every Sunday morning.
Although both my parents have passed away, one or both of them almost always attended every lesson, every schooling show, and were there for every “big” moment in my equestrian career. Needless to say, I was extremely blessed to have a mom and dad who not only supported, but took part in my lifelong passion for riding, training, showing, and just loving horses!

My Grandmother - on my mother's side - one of my role models. A wife, a mother, a homemaker, a cook, a horsewoman, and a lady.

My First Riding Lesson
at six years old.
My first lesson horse - Applesauce. This sweet, old redhead took such care with all of us kids - patient, kind, and forgiving. All equestrians have old, treasured photos like this one. I have always loved my lessons and training to improve my skills in the saddle. It’s all thanks to sweet creatures like Applesauce - those that may never really belong to us, but always hold a place in our hearts.
A New Chapter
2022 has been a wild year. A really hard year. A wonderful year.
I married my best friend, Jeff, on April 9th, 2022. I have a new last name now!
I am now Lindsay Marie Wolfe.
I lost my Dad on February 2022. Two months before my wedding. Being without him has been very difficult and really, really strange.
Jeff and I had an amazing honeymoon in July in Jackson Hole, Wyoming on our favorite dude ranch. We spent the entire year renovating my childhood home, where we plan to stay. I quit a crazy, toxic job with abusive coworkers, took 6 months off, and landed a new job, which has been freaking amazing. Jeff finished his Master’s in Accounting and starts his first job in tax accounting in January.
One. Hell. Of. A. Year. Can’t wait for 2023!
