Surround yourself with people…

With people that loosen their cinch and pat their horse when they get off.

With people that put the grocery store cart back and hold the door open with a smile.

With people who might throw their hat under your horse but will also go catch ‘em if you don’t stick it.

With people that will keep a slot empty in the trailer for your horse and a seat empty at the table for you.

With people that tip the waitress and their hat at others.

With people that show their c**ts and kids a soft but firm hand.

With people that push you for success but also sit with you in your failures.

With people that open their bibles, hearts and homes.

You can only be as good as your company so be careful whose house you hang your hat up at.

I cannot express my gratitude enough to everyone who has continued to support my dad Dave as he fights his 2nd battle with Cancer. Not only has everyone been a huge support to him, but also the rest of the family as well. It's amazing that we have all met one way or another through horses. You guys are all like family to us.

Today we had a great Turnout for the Benefit Trail Ride + Open Arenas.

Thank you guys so much for coming out. It was a beautiful day. The sun was out, we sat around and shared memories, ate good food and enjoyed one another.

I am not sure if it's just me, but it seems as if everyone is in such a rush now days.

Earlier in the week I was stopped at a red light, and I got beeped at because it had turned green and I didn't take off like the person behind me wanted too. 😮‍💨

We rush to get to work or school, we rush through our lunch breaks, we may rush our dogs while their out on a walk, we rush to pick up our children from day-care, and then we rush home to spend time with our family or partners while rushing to prepare dinner, or to do laundry. For whatever reason.

When out and about running errands, I remind myself that picking up a few things from the grocery store should not be a rush job.

I am the first one to say that there is never enough time in the day. There is never enough time to get things done. So where I leave off, is where I pick back up the following day.

Tonight it took me 25 minutes to bring in a horse from the field across the street.

And that is okay.

Did I have other things to do? Yeah.. a list. But he enjoyed our walk back, and I did as well. I took some pictures of the scenery. He grazed, and I took a deap breath to enjoy the moment.

Life goes by way to quickly, I have been trying to just slow down & enjoy it.

The weanlings are both less than impressed about their new attire (halters).. but I reassure them this is all apart of adult hood and they will be just fine. 🦄😅
