This! Live this and love it!

I had a conversation the other day with some young kids at the barn, and I thought maybe others needed to hear this also.

Dear horse (cow) agriculture-based kid:
It is ok to be you!
It is ok to be a little different than other kids in your school...If you have some hay in your hair, and are seen outside of school, in a store that way, don't worry, it will be ok!
Spending time at the barn, riding, cleaning, being around animals is a great way to grow up!
If you choose to buy a new halter for your horse, instead of makeup or a ball, that is a great choice do it!
You may think you are alone in this adventure, rest assured you are not, you will find your forever 'tribe' at the barn!
Don't think twice about wearing your boots, jeans, belt and buckle to school, that 'outfit' has more historical notoriety than any ball uniform.
If you go into a restaurant, store, establishment after you have been in the barn, don't worry, we have all done that, your $ is as good as the next persons.
Don't be bothered or worried if someone calls you "cowboy"(girl), that identity is something to be proud of, you have worked at a skill /lifestyle that will serve you well forever
If you enjoy spending time with your horse/cow more than going to the 'beach' or mall, that compassion will get your further in life than the other will.
If you come out of an arena with a dirt 'mustache', a lite tan sand colored complexation, from a dusty arena, it is money well spent and a natural facial! Keep smiling!
The work ethic, compassion, commitment, time management spent with animals is a blessing not a curse, so don't ever be ashamed! Find your tribe, keep going to the barn, keep loving on that horse/cow, which ever animal you choose. You be you, and I am proud of it!

It was a busy busy day but what a gift to watch these memories come to life! ❤️
Thank you Korinna Grace Photography for capturing “Bel Amour”! I cannot wait to see more!

There will never be enough words or emotion to describe when something special impacts your soul in a way you will always be changed.

Our sweet Daisy 🌼 (Rochaven Alana) crossed the rainbow bridge very unexpectedly yesterday afternoon. It was a moment when I knew within seconds that all things would change forever and I would have to look my Leyla in the eyes and break her heart without ever saying a word. It was a text to the vet that had the underlying tone that he knew what he was truly coming to the farm for…it was gut wrenching and I took the first hour of managing her to absorb before I made that embrace with Leyla or began processing with anyone around me. I just knew and needed Daisy to know I had her all the way to the end.

Daisy impacted my Leyla in ways I cannot ever describe that will forever change her as a person and a horsewoman. She will forever be stronger, softer, kinder. She will always hear horses differently then most are able because Daisy showed her how.

Daisy was our herd protector and knew every single pebble and if it were out of place in any way and you better put it back! She knew how to read a person inside out and force them to breathe and calm down and if you didn’t she took you for a spin! She had all the beauty and double that in smarts! She had a story to share and it was embraced with trauma and sadness but also rich with love and relationships. Daisy was every ounce of magical. She stood over all of us and touched so many kiddos in ways that healed hearts with purpose. She knew what she was doing. I asked her to help me heal chosen individuals and she stood by side and worked the role like every hero always does. I would hold her head close and low to me and whisper that I needed her to touch “this one” and I would literally tell her exactly how we were going to work together to do so and like a dance we made it happen one beautiful step at a time. Music. Incredible music was written every time we came together to heal another soul.

Our hearts are broken and Bel Amour Farm is forever changed but we know there is always a reason. We just aren’t always meant to understand. Run free sweet girl.

Thank you ladies!

And a huge thank you to our amazing kiddos and very best farm staff for working so hard and using your incredible skills to assist in today’s fun lesson!
