Anyone know what’s happening around calmar? Just drove through the roundabout from Leduc to calmar and there’s at least 10 cops stationed going every direction and some emt’s? They’re not pulling anyone over but there’s definitely something going on

💭 Dreamin' Big in the Face of Reality 💭
Hey there, friends! 🌻 Let me tell ya, chasing that goal of financial freedom, it's like wrestling with the wildest bull at the rodeo. I've got my eyes on the prize – bringing in $10K a month. But some days, it's like my mortgage is this giant bale of hay I can't lift, and I'm just keepin' my head above water. Still, I reckon every tough patch is just laying the groundwork for a mighty comeback. My vision's crystal clear: me, livin' it up at our ranch, not a debt in sight. It's not just for me – it's for my whole clan. And you can bet your boots I'm not throwing in the towel. 💪🐎🏡

It was a busy on the ranch today! It was farrier day for the mares. 29 trims done today! They were happy to get back out to their pasture at the end of the day!

Here’s some great words of wisdom for everyone this morning!

A little honest truth for the shoulda-been a horse trainer types...
written by Genie Lynch

Until you have been down in the dust of the round pen, working down the rope on a wild one with thirty days to grow this c**t from untouched to packing a rider...then don't talk to the ones actually doing it about horsemanship.
Until you have worked horse after horse, day in day out, making a living without a back up plan on skills you are developing, instincts you are honing while real TRAINING is happening, don't talk to the ones actually doing it about horsemanship.
There are horse trainers and then there are woulda-coulda-shoulda been horse trainers. That second lot are the ones that never make mistakes with a horse. They sit upon their well broke steed and pass pious judgement on those dirty, dusty, tuckered out 24-7 suckers being dragged about the round pen or arena like a rag doll on the end of a rein or lead rope.
Horse training is TOUGH, and I'm here to tell you that despite my best efforts over forty years, sometimes it's emotional! Sometimes it's rough and tumble. Sometimes it's full of pitfalls and b***y traps laying in wait to trip up all the good intentions and excellent horsemanship techniques you've ever learned and folks so often spout off about, and there you are...faced with a four footed s**t storm of twelve hundred pound proportions. I've been there, and I sympathize...but until YOU'VE been there, time after time, stop your judgement. Until your bills getting paid are dependent on what thirty or sixty day "magic" you can perform on an untouched or, worse yet, overly handled three or four year old horse who has never been told no, don't sit on your duff and tell the horse trainers in the trenches what they are doing wrong. Just. Don't.
A hard truth here; reading a book, searching Google, messing around in a three day c**t starting clinic, or working daily for an hour or two with an already trained horse, does not a professional horse trainer make. 🤷
Have a good day folks!
