🐴Peeps and even non horse peeps!

Halfway through Hoof Dreams on Peacock. HIGHLY recommend... so far it is really good, shows good horsemanship, and most importantly talks about horsemanship.. and the mental health aspect.

💜💜

Throwback to Ledges in May... I can't wait to get back into the ring with Buddy💜💜🐴🐴

07/05/2024

So I have reached a new level of adulting🤣

What you see here is my first custom saddle purchase💜💜 Can you tell it's mine🤣 ... hint💜💜💜

First and foremost I had the best customer services from Kristin Jean (over the years she has been fantastic)

Secondly, Arion Sellier USA makes a phenomenal product and their shoulder free panel technology is amazing. When you can feel the difference in your horse immediately, you know you made a good decision.

Thank you Kristin!!!

We honor all who made the ultimate sacrifice💜

Along with the human cost, some 8 Million horses, donkeys, mules AND 1 Million dogs also perished in the first world war, along with many hundreds of smaller animals. Their suffering was equally as great as the men and women they served along side with.

So.. for all my friends that experience a little anxiety or nerves or even just plain old body aches.. and let's be real.. it's ALL of you🤣🤣 Head over to Rider’s Relief page and check out her CBD products for people and dogs... specially formulated for us horse people since we are different breed, but good for everyone!!

I am a skeptic.. A year ago I was like sure.. I will try your product (under my breath saying it wasn't going to work for ME...) and here I am.. daily user and my dog Symon has really benefitted the MOST from this product.. and y'all know he is neurological with significant joint issues on top of a progressive neurological disease.

So take it from a skeptic.. if it works for me (and my special needs dog) it can work for you!! Daily and performance (uhhh hello horse shows are stressful as f&* #🤣)

Thanks for the Swag Emily Wendt Woods and good luck at Equine Affaire, Inc. (Official) !!!

"She was never prepared for half of what she went through, but she got through it. SHE ALWAYS WILL.

SHE IS ME🤘"

14 years ago I had my broke back surgery and had hardware put into my spine.. not knowing what my recovery would be, if I could ride again. I knew I would ride again no matter how much it hurt. But I wasn't prepared for the emotional recovery or dealing with a career-changing injury like this. My dreams of being a professional rider/trainer were broken, much like my L1 vertebrae that was never fully repaired. I also wasn't prepared for how this would affect me as I get older🤣🤣 But I can't stop, won't stop doing what I love. You push through the pain💜

4.5 years ago today I had some more hardware put into my pinkie. Ehhh..what's some more hardware🤣

🐎Never give up your dreams. No matter the pain, the tears, or the unknown. Its your dream, do whatever it takes to get it. This year I am not crying over my past. I am pushing on to the future.

💜Endless thanks and gratitude to everyone that was there for me 14 years ago and along the way. Your support has carried me to this day💜

Each dog has:

"stable blanket" purple with grey trim and fuzzy lining with monograms

"rain sheet" light-weight

"fleece"

Snow jacket w/high collar and belly guard
