Morning Mantra: “Where there is no struggle, there is no strength.”

We all wish for an easy life, but it’s the toughest of times that really build character, and let’s you know what you are made of.

Anyone can give up, that’s the easy route. But strength grows in the moments when you think you can’t go on, but you do anyway. To hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart requires you to dig deep, to believe in yourself and to find courage you didn’t know you had.

It’s the tough times, not the easy ones, that create tough people.

A Horse....

Makes a girl realize what love is when she feels that soft breath on her face.

Makes her feel like nothing can catch her as she runs around those barrels.

Takes the weight of the world off her back and makes her feel lighter than air when she goes over those jumps.

Makes her believe she can slide through all life's difficulties when she rides that reiner.

Gives her the freedom to explore new worlds out on the trail.

Tells her she is so beautiful and graceful when she's in that dressage saddle.

Gives her the confidence that she can catch all of her goals as she throws a loop around that cow.

Makes a woman feel like a girl again when after her pause from horses, she gets a chance again to enjoy all the things that a horse does...

Came across this... Covid? only 3 years ago. Sometimes seems like a distant memory..... but this was definitely a bright spot in the dark days. Be well!!!

A group of volunteers organized an animal parade to march down the streets of some Treasure Valley neighborhoods, all while collecting food donations.

“How much weight can a horse carry?

In my experience, a horse can carry an infinite amount.

They can carry the weight of broken hearts, broken homes, and broken bodies. Countless tears sometimes comb their tangled manes. Moments when parents and friends cannot be there to help and hold a person, horses embrace and empower. They carry physical, mental, and emotional handicaps. They carry hopes and dreams; and they will carry the stress from your day when you can't carry it anymore.

They carry graduations, they carry new careers, they carry moves away from everything familiar, they carry marriages, they carry divorces, they carry funerals, they carry babys before they are born, and sometimes they carry the mothers who cannot carry their own baby. They carry mistakes, they carry joy, they carry the good and they carry the bad. They carry drugs and addictions, but they also carry the celebrations.

They will carry you to success when all you have felt is failure. They will carry you, never knowing the weight of your burdens and triumphs.

If you let them, they will carry you through life, and life is hard, life is heavy. But a horse will make you feel weightless under it all.”

Courage

One day you’ll look back and be so glad you chose Courage

It takes courage …
To Be brave..
To feel the emotions…
To pick yourself up when life knocks you to your knees…
To Stay strong…
To take the first few steps in a different direction…
To sometimes just breath…
To chase those dreams even though most can’t see them but you💕…

Dont let fear rule your choices
Life fearlessly and embrace your courage ❤️
Be proud of you and how far you have come… dig deep and find the “courage “ that’s been there all along…you got this my friend 🥰

Love this mare I raised… “Shez Got Swagger “
June❤️
