“You need to hear this loud and clear: no one is coming. It’s up to you.” | Mel Robbins

I already have my goals mapped out for the next year. Do you?

Here’s the secret because no one, truly, is coming: go for it. Whatever it is that you’ve been dreaming about. Make. 👏It. 👏Happen.👏 Life is too freaking short. And no one who is TRULY in their own lane will be a neigh-sayer in your life. When you’re at peace, you lift others up. Those people you’re worried about talking bad about you or discouraging you, you’ve already passed them up. Don’t let go of YOUR dream because of other people, the time it will take or the work involved. Don’t get to the end of your life and say, “I wish I had…”

How we started in Walker County, Alabama and how we finished. Some great memories today to celebrate a great run! Remember these are the last few days to save photos from our North Alabama barn page for years 2014-2023. We are anxious to start fresh Jan 1 with Forward South Equestrian! Again, thank you to the many families and friends that supported us over the years. We couldn’t have done it without you!

Happy Thanksgiving Forward Family! Our herd would like to share what we’ve been up to this year. Taking a year off for rest and repair has been instrumental for our horses after so many years of teaching lessons to beginners. I’m grateful this Thanksgiving to have the chance to bond again in a new way and share what we’ve learned together over the last 17 years. Time to look forward to 2025! Rest yourself today, you’ve earned it.
