‘How do you balance work and life?’ is probably the most recurring question I hear at work, which is ironic as I would expect more questions on science working as a scientist. Some balance, not even a perfect one, between work, family and fun is possibly the biggest mystery of current times. To be honest, I don’t know the answer, but I do know someone who has mastered this art and more and is a real-life example of what we see in movies. I came across Laura Anne Galbraith , a mother, a horsewoman, a vet, a vet clinic owner and the owner and operator of Ever After Acres (a riding school), in October 2018. Since then, I have had countless lessons; about riding, life, struggle, success, and much more, from Laura and I truly believe that a part of my success comes at the hands of Laura. It is only fair to share her experience and wisdom with everyone out there in her own words but please indulge me a little while longer while I tell you a little about who Laura is.

Laura was born in New Brunswick to a lower middle-class family of teachers, far from stereotypical rich families with horses and stables. Although they had all they needed to live it was a challenge making ends meet and anything extra or extravagant like riding was out of question. Even though she did get lessons at Canadian Rothesay Pony Club with her then and forever coach Ally Sillers , it was a struggle for her family to continue her in that program. However, the determination of a 12-year-old Laura was such that she decided to help herself by working as much as she could at the barn on weekends and pay for her lessons. While many of us (adults) still have to learn Laura’s biggest teaching ‘Nothing worth doing is ever easy’, Laura was living by this even before her teenage years. In her own words ‘The life lesson that I was getting was that hard work pays off’. It doesn’t take long to realize that she was destined for greater things....
