After a bit of a hiatus, It is time to come back to writing – I am officially back! With a little bit of a twist to the Budget Equestrian. And I thought I would start with creating a calendar for October.
October always feels like a much-needed time to reset, refocus, and reflect, while also slowing down and embracing the coziness of the season.

So I decided to visit Canva and motivate myself for the season by making a calendar for October to help spark some motivation, and keep me on track!
Canva For Inspiration
You might be wondering, what is Canva? Well, Canva is a website that you can visit to create some really incredible projects! I even made my latest resume using Canva.
Canva has soooo many different fun templates that you can use to make some very fun projects. They even offer Premium Content that you can buy. But, and they probably won’t like me sharing this, but you can create your project, and download a watermarked version of it for free!
If you want, you can download the image that I have crafted, an use it for yourself. And then you would have your own October Calendar to play around with! Or you can visit Canva, and create a personal one for yourself.
You’ll see that I started you off with a few ideas already in the calendar, but here are some ideas to inspire you as you fill out your own version of the calendar.
