LIMITED PERSPECTIVES

Man, where do I start? My page has almost 37k followers on my horsemanship alone. Almost 6k on my personal page. 24k collectively on IG with both pages and almost 5k followers on tik tok since utilizing it this last April. So collectively 72,000 followers on all accounts on social media, excluding the reach of all those pages. So that’s well into the 6 digits. 500,000 plus?

What does that do to a person? A very thick skin, confidence in what they do, and humble enough in their presentation. Let alone what’s going on in their personal life and all the f**kery of curve balls life throws at you.

What I’m saying is if you’re gonna create content, you’re going to get s**t. A lot of it. I get some of the funniest, meanest, most uneducated responses, and flat outlandish comments. It can be the equipment I use, the way I do my groundwork, the horse bucked, the way I apply contact, and down to riding in wet sand….yeah, evidently I should watch that..

The problem is we live in a world of doers that get the job done and wanna be’s that lack talent and effort so they live vicariously through you, on their phone.

Their opinion lacks experience and grossly lacks context. Therefore their perspectives in life is so limited, their opinion carries absolutely no weight. Real horse trainers don’t have time to troll others. They are too busy leveling up and collaborating with others in their field.

What I’m saying is keep growing. Keep doing you. Want to respond to these comments? Do it! Sometimes I say something funny. Sometimes dish it back. Sometimes delete the comment. You are allowed to process how you deal with negativity. Don’t absorb it. Just keep in mind that when you get that negativity, don’t take it personal. It’s just someone with limited perspectives.

When a horse KNOWS his parameters, THIS is what it looks like when you throw them rein. You have got to get that body centered and balanced to get the whole picture

Talking about parameters. I’ve expanded on this a lot since Annette Coker and I had a good chat about it.

The Evolution of Strong

I have women message me weekly. Admiring my strength, grit, and all around baddie. As I do appreciate the compliments, I have to break it to you, my environment is what shaped me. Ladies ask me all the time how I get to where I’m at right now. Even though if I ask myself that same question, I’m not sure if I’m really that strong. I had no choice and I battle myself daily to keep getting better.

A little over two years ago, everything I thought was my life, blew up in my face. There’s nothing worse than when you look in the mirror, you realize that you let toxicity completely strip you of your self worth. Worst yet, you played the part to get there! I was a product of what living life for external validation.

I became a single mother of 3 boys, the youngest just turning one. Fear took over my life. I took over the entire mortgage of the ranch. Had to buy my own truck again. Didn’t receive any child support for almost a year. No farm equipment. I was flat out broke and then the depression set in shortly after… alcohol was my buddy for a quick minute. I mean, how the hell are you suppose to smile and be cheery to clients when you feel dead inside?

Now this isn’t a poor me story. This is when the good stuff happens.

I thank god everyday for stripping me down to nothing. He taught me a lesson that has now blessed me for being the best version of myself.

I became strong by letting go of things not meant for me without understanding why because down the hall, there’s a much better opportunity waiting for me. I just have to open the door.

I became strong by understanding that the way people treat you is a reflection of themselves, not you.

I became strong by saying no to anything that doesn’t make my body feel good, and my soul thanks me for that.

I became strong by learning that I can use my voice to help others. Kindness fuels the heart.

I became strong by understanding the power of forgiveness. Not to continual perpetuators but most importantly to myself and be content with that.

I became strong by setting boundaries. Not to control others but to protect myself.

I became strong by being immensely grateful for my blessings. You can be a firm badass but being soft and kind hearted is absolute gold. You’ll naturally attract an abundance of that.

I became strong by sitting in the unknown feels and having faith that it’s going to get better.

I became strong by only allowing a select community that supports my well-being and health.

I became strong by being so attuned to my body and the presence of life. It’s 💯 elevated my horsemanship to a whole new level this year.

I became strong by understanding that there are two types of people. Leaders and followers. Understanding that I was meant to be a leader comes with a great responsibility.

Is life perfect right now? No. I am the happiest I’ve ever been yet in the middle of a huge lawsuit over my horse training business and the property that’s half mine.

I have no idea where I’ll be next year….. How exciting!! I get to fall love the new me that I’ve always aspired to be and she’ll never leave me again.

Treat life like an adventure babes.❤️

The best place for a fractious horse is riding out. Once you install a foundation on them, get them out. Why? It’s changes their hyper focus on what’s behind their ears to what’s in front of their nose. Thats where their true relaxation comes from.

I believe asking a trainer how their program looks as far as trail/open country miles is crucial especially for horses that have these characteristics. Both environments in the arena and out in the open play a huge role when talking about horses who need the extra mentoring.

Tork took a tad longer but sure riding nicely without being braced in the middle.
