This is heartbreaking. No one wants to think it can happen to them, but if it can happen to the owners of the World Equestrian Center, it can happen to me too. This is why I do what I do. To help owners do everything they can to prevent incidents like this and to be prepared if the worst happens. No one wants to wake up to all their horses gone. Work with your local fire department to make sure your building is up to code. Have an evacuation plan and practice it.

One of the best things about working from home is being able to take my lunch break in the pasture grooming horses. They're shedding, the sun is shining, and fresh air is good for the soul!

Sometimes, having a homestead sucks. You work hard. You think everything is going great. Then something attacks your livestock.

So you check everything and make repairs. You make them safer. You think everything is under control, but it happens again because you missed where an opossum dug under the fence.

Two of your girls are dead. Two are injured, and in the end, it's your fault.

It's a tough life sometimes when you have a big heart.

RIP my sweet girls.

My roan boys. They both live up to their names and are never far apart. They're also the last two to investigate what I'm up to when I'm working on the farm. They're usually in their own little world.

I've never met an animal that didn't teach me a lesson in being a better human. Mater taught me the value of safety, and Bo taught me the value of community.

Our animals are fully present in the moment. They live a simpler life. When we slow down to their pace, we discover God in the silence, in the stillness.

My horses do these every time I ride. In truth, I wish they were doing them every day, but I often let life get in the way. Today's a good day to do better!

Most of the animals on my farm are rescues or rescued by their previous owner. They are animals other people found difficult. But not this guy.

This guy is the culmination of a dream I had as a little girl watching cutting with my Dad. I always wanted to know what it felt like to ride a well-bred cow horse.

I gave up on my dreams when I was overweight and fighting cancer, heart disease, and depression. I was living a life of quiet desperation when God broke me open and led me back to my husband and our life together.

Our farm is a dream come true for us both, and I love watching it grow alongside my beautiful boy.

Most of the time, our resident barn cat would rather be outside enjoying his domain, but on cold or stormy nights, he's happy to be curled up on the couch with the lowly humans.

The hardest part of all the life changes in the last two years has been not getting to spend time with Goose. He's truly the sweetest donkey I've ever met. He's still a little upset over having to wear a sheet to stay dry some this winter, but he loves getting brushed and getting his ears rubbed. He might forgive me before spring. 🤣
