We all have these self-imposed timelines of when we want our horses to be at a certain level, but the truth is, horse's don't know when they are supposed to "make it."

If your horse is 6 and hasn't entered a jackpot yet...
If you had to give your horse time off after an injury...
If you had to take a step back from riding to focus on your family...
If your work schedule hasn't allowed you the time you need to ride...
If your horse is just taking a little longer to develop...

You are not behind.

Each person’s timeline and priorities will look a little different. As such, each person’s progression will happen at a different pace. And, that’s okay. Allow yourself to enjoy the pace of your journey. The timing is not wrong. You are right where you need to be today.

Just a gentle reminder that your mindset is more important than equipment, pedigree, and wallet.

Im a WPRA world champion, an AQHA world champion and nearly $2m pro rodeo earner. I didn’t need to flex but needed to preface my next statement with that to remove all doubt: I GET NERVOUS, LACK CONFIDENCE AND GET INSECURE ABOUT MY TALENT.

So don’t be mistaken that if you win this event, receive acceptance from that big name trainer, or hold arena records - all your insecurities will go away. NOPE! They get amplified.

I just want to scare you into a lifelong journey of diligent effort to control your self-talk. To take time to meditate. To learn to value what you think of yourself! It’s your biggest asset.

I am going to try to do a little crash course on men’s hand gestures. I know this is something many of us have struggled with, so I hope you find this helpful.

First, let’s talk about gestures while horseback.

Gesture: He puts one arm in the air with the pointer finger rotating in a circle. If you are stopped, it means get started. If you are moving, it means move faster. If the whole arm is rotating rapidly in a circle with the pointer finger in the air, it means you are already in trouble and should take off at a lope, even if you have no idea which direction you are supposed to be going. I do not suggest trying to get more clarification on direction.

Gesture: One hand held in the stopping motion to the side of the body. If it is still, stop. If it is bobbing, slow down. If it looks like the person is repeatedly hitting an imaginary wall with their hand, you really need to stop before you are in trouble. When both arms go up in the air and cross, then uncross rapidly, you are already in trouble. You should have stopped awhile ago.

Gesture: Elbow rotating from a 90 degree angle to a 180 degree angle with pointer finger extended. This could mean several things. Maybe go get the gate. Maybe get up ahead of the herd. Maybe check the creek. You’re really on your own with this one.

Gesture: Both arms go quickly in the air and down, then he rides off shaking his head. You’re too far away to hear, but based on his body movement, you’re pretty sure he is cussing. You’re really in trouble now. He has given up on communicating with you. You are now expected to read his mind.

Next, let’s talk about hand gestures when he is in the tractor.

Gesture: Both arms are moving and fingers are pointing, head is nodding, and eyebrows have raised and eyeballs are a little wider. Sometimes even a shoulder shrug. This is a really tough one. If you’ve studied sign language, you know this man definitely has not. You look at him in utter confusion, still trying to piece it all together. He shuts the tractor off, opens the door, and yells his instructions at you. If you’re an obedient woman, you do as he instructs. If you’re me, you walk away until he gets a better attitude.

Last, let’s talk about hand gestures when you are in the tractor.

Gesture: The hand makes a C shape. If it tips up, this means rotate the bucket back towards you. If it tips down, this means rotate the bucket down. This might be the only gesture you will ever master, so soak this up.

Gesture: He points up or down. If he points up, the loader needs to move up. If he points down, the loader needs to move down. If his finger starts aggressively and dramatically pointing up or down, he thinks he doesn’t have all day and you need to move the loader faster in whichever direction. This is usually followed by an extremely dramatic “stop” gesture where he is annoyed that you were going too fast and didn’t stop in time. He thinks it would be better for him to be in the tractor and you on the ground, but he knows better than to suggest that.

Okay, you have officially attended Men’s Hand Gestures 101. Piece of cake, right? Bless. 🤦‍♀️

DON’T QUIT

When you show up for the first time and you feel like everyone is looking at you, don’t quit.

When you pull up in a field of rigs & papers with your stock trailer & grade horse, don’t quit.

When the others laugh at you bc you have to train your own and it’s a process, don’t quit.

When your tack gets strange looks bc it’s used and doesn’t match, don’t quit.

When you start to be competitive and you lose “friends”, don’t quit.

When they talk about you behind your back, don’t quit.

When you’re on a mountain pulling checks for months, don’t quit.

When you’re in a valley and haven’t had a clean out in months, don’t quit.

As long as you have the drive, don’t quit.

That passion is in your heart for a reason. Don’t allow anyone or anything to slow your hustle. Keep your head down and grind on. You got this, IF you DON’T QUIT.
The only difference in a Champion and everyone else is they didn’t quit.
