Got to go to Todd Crawford Performance Horses yesterday with my boss! So blessed to have the opportunity to go and get to ride this cool c**t!
Gus is a two year old and I think it was his second off property ride? Me and a coworker have put a lot of work into him these past months and he’s such a good minded gelding! I’m excited for his future.

Praise be to the Lord, for He showed me the wonders of his love when I was in a city under siege.

I’ve been spending a lot of time working on my tanlines.

The summer isn’t over yet but it’s about to be and I’m dreading school but excited to have full nights of sleep 😂
I’ve spent a lot of this summer with horses, learning and getting on tons of different ones. I feel like I’ve improved a ton and made a lot of new connections. I’m spending almost everyday somewhere with someone’s horse learning on them and from them and building something. Don’t know what quite yet 😂
Being at Rick and Dolly’s in Beggs with BeeGee has taught me a ton. About cows and horses, riding, training, building and finishing off a horse, cow work, showing, judging, tack and all the things. They really are a wealth of knowledge.
Being at Faith River Farms too has allowed me to get my hands on all kinds of horses at different levels. From feral c**ts to finished horses and all the between. I get to do all that while learning what managing a barn with 9+ horses looks like. And 15 dogs 😂😂
I’ve made tons of new friends and even more memories. I’m ready for next summer 😂 by then maybe I’ll be a decent driver too!

Back home 🥱 (or work lol)
All the ponies got trimmed and wormed and now everyone is back on schedule!

07/26/2024

Five hours on a plane, two hours of sleep, two hours in the two energy drinks, and six miles on BeeGee today. I’m ready for bed 🥱

We got home from vacation at 10:30 last night and I stayed up late doing chores and getting ready to leave at 4:30 for Beggs to come stay in Beggs. I showed up this morning and we got right to work.
We did lead changes, sliding stops, spins and some flag work then went out to check around 170 head of cattle on however much land lol. Pro tip, if you have a somewhat green horse and 60 head of cattle come barreling out of the trees to you, hang on. After working, doing chores and all that we packed up and headed out to go watch the Hackamore Classic for a few hours. So cool to see some awesome horses! I’ll be out here till Sunday and then it’s back to work at Faith River Farms and on our own land before I go watch all the AQHA stuff this August and head back to school.

Updates from home 😁

Went to my 2nd home again! Me and BeeGee are still figuring eachother out and it’s hard not to be able to ride him everyday but he’s a literal saint for me. We got to work some more cows, check lots of fencing, check even more cows, work on patterns, flag work, sliding stops, turn arounds and everything you can think of. This horse is so full of talent and I’m so blessed he’s mine ❤️ after a long ride he got a spa day and he was a happy camper about that and not so much about his new fly boots. I’m excited to get him out and showing more and now that I can drive out myself I can ride him tons more! If I disappear I’m probably in Beggs eating peach cobbler with Rick and Dolly.

Name a better mare, I’ll wait.

What unstarted mustang can you hop on with no ropes and move their hip, back them up and moves off your leg? I’ll also mention she has a mean walk to canter transition at liberty, a fancy posture and one heck of a heart. I may not get to ride her her whole life because she’s 13hh but she’s going to make a lot of kids really happy.

07/13/2024

Faith River Farm keeping me busy! I started working here mid June and I love it! It’s nice to get a chance to work with a variety of horses and learn. It’s a plus that the people are nice too 🤪 I’m so excited to see these guys continue progress, especially the c**ts!

07/10/2024

It’s been a week 🥱🥱

07/04/2024

Early mornings, Pitiful and bed rest 🥱

Gosh, it was such a blessing to be there with such a team! All of these ladies are so talented and worked their butts off to be there. I’m so happy for all of them and so proud to be apart of it.
Thank you to all the horse owners to donated their horses to this, it couldn’t be done without them and we were so lucky to have such horses there! IEA itself KILLED it this year with themes, prizes, organization and everything.
On day one I competed in Horsemanship and it went well until we got to pattern work 🤦🏼‍♀️ I had an error in judgement and messed both me and my draw, Lyla up.
Day two I competed in Ranch Riding and me and Dewy killed it! We ended up placing Reserve Champion!!
The middle school team placed Reserve again and the Highschool team placed 7th! All the teams there were pretty darn good competition for us and gave us all some good homework.

Rodeo Bible Camp 2024
Cross Cut Cowboy Church

I genuinely cannot express my gratefulness for these people. It took some WORK to put this on, but they did it. This was my second year going and every time I’ve had a blast. I always learn so much about Jesus, either from the services or just from talking to the people here. I cannot wait for next year!

Apollo came with me and he was an angel, he handled everything great from the bad weather to hauling to the arena. He stood next to the speakers during worship and had me and a kid standing on a fence above him. He was quiet as can be, putting up with everyone loving on him to crazy steers. I’m really proud of how he handled everything and I’m beyond excited for his future.
•

Thank you to all the staff and people who made this happen. I’m excited to be able to come back next year and continue learning.

06/01/2024

Lovely photo of Apollo I’ll leave you guys with before the two babies, Luna and Apollo, come with me for Rodeo Bible Camp Cross Cut Cowboy Church! It was honestly just a blast last year and I think about it everyday! I’m super excited to see everyone and get my ponies some good experience. Luna is getting started this summer and I’m hoping one day she’ll be a sturdy ride for some kid who is lucky enough to
Lease her one day. As for Apollo, he’s full of baby brain and needs to get out and around.

05/18/2024

Show day! I hauled Apollo and Luna up to Celtic Cross Equestrian Center to show in-hand.
•
•
Neither ponies have been in much work so I didn’t have high expectations but they both pulled through. Apollo came to really just get some exposure and get hauled, he won his confirmation class and spent most of the day at the trailer. Luna Mae showed in Trail, confirmation and showmanship. She got first in showmanship and second in the other two. I definitely have missed showing and I’m so happy to be back at it, hopefully we can find some more shows to get it and start working on our homework! I truly am so blessed to have these two in my herd.

BeGee working! We did flag work for the first time today (was terrified) and we did decent for our first go!

Been missing the saddle a bit 💪

If you haven’t noticed I’ve been pretty MIA, especially with Handsome Ransom. I just got out of a big burnout and frankly we haven’t been making too much progress ever since the whole halter breaking incident. At this point I haven’t got a clue if we’ll make it to our competition but I’ve decided that if we make it, we make it. If we don’t, no biggie. I still get the chance to learn from this horse. Ransom isn’t the horse I wanted for the competition this year but he’s dang sure the horse I needed. I’ve really really enjoyed learning from him and I think my other horses are glad he’s whipping me into shape too. This past year I’ve grown a lot in my horsemenship journey and there’s never to much to learn. Saddle Up Horsemanship has helped me a ton with Ransom and I’m learning SO much from them. Yesterday, despite the absolute mud pit of his pen, we started some following techniques to help build trust and more of a partnership. Here’s how day two of it is going 💪 Also, isn’t he looking great? I started Ransom, Scout & Gus on the 100X Equine supplements that were donated to Waymaker’s Wild2Willing TIP Challenge competitors and wowza! All the geldings are feeling great and looking great. Life update on the rest of the herd 👇👇 Scout got diagnosed with arthritis in his stifles & hocks which were causing some major issues with his back. He’s feelings tons better! Gus is still available for reassignment, he’s been on the back burner while I focus on Luna, Ransom & Scout but he’s doing and feeling great.

Black cat good luck? Off to Nationals next!!

Standing relaxed and loosely tied while brushing & picking out her feet. Touching near her HQ was a big deal back in January but that slowly went away. She’s moving along slowly but steady. Can’t wait till she’s all slicked out this summer and looking good 🤩

Ransom updates from home! My Dad and him are becoming friends 😂 maybe Mr. Scott can get a halter on him

“The eyes of the horse have never lied to me. They are a mirror to the soul.” • • • One thing I have always said is that I want to be honest with Social Media. I want people to follow my page and my horse’s journeys knowing it is not only the good but the bad as well. I see a lot of people on social media just sharing the good and the wins instead of the wins and the loses. I haven’t been posting very much on #8813’s journey lately because progress has been slow. He has been a tough one for me. He’s humbled me and then taught me. He has weaseled his way into my little list of favorite horses to work with. His personality resembles Luna Mae a lot, he’s sensitive and very in tune with everything I do. This horse has tested my discipline, my body language, my knowledge and has helped me work on my release timing. He’s started following me around the pen now. He’s very motivated to work and always looking for an answer. I think he’ll make a cool liberty horse one day • • • And with all of that, I finally finally picked out a name for this awesome dude. He has officially gotten the title for the horse that has gone the longest without a name in my herd. No longer known as just the number #8813, everyone please offically welcome Ransom to the herd 🥰 • • • • Ransom will be available following the competition!

For a bit now me and Luna Mae have been working on “mirroring gaits” and we’ve got the walk & trot down (adding this in because 8813 is trying to eat my phone and posted it before I was done rambling). We started working on the canter about a month ago and she’s been in and out of consistent work so I’m pretty proud of her picking it up in just a few steps. This mare might be small but she makes up for it in heart. I pulled her out for a quick session after getting chores done and getting all my other horses worked. I warmed her up then wanted to see if she’d be good off line. Didn’g expect much but we got a few wins 🙌 I plan on entering her in some ILHA virtual liberty classes this year (the fit’s one is in 2 weeks) so we’re preparing for those! Maybe I’ll see what Gus can do in some of the novice ones! If I do end up entering, I’ll post my classes on my YouTube! (Oh! I’m working on #8813’s two week update. So be on the lookout for that in the next few days. I have so much for respect for anyone who has a YouTube routine, it is HARD 😂)

I was getting way excited because I thought I’d be able to take him out of his pen tomorrow but I got humbled real quick. Watching the video back I realized I didn’t release and reward for a step and since this guy is so intune with everything I do he went to look for another answer or a way out. I say this all the time but I’ll say it again. Horse training isn’t all wins. It’s not this glorious thing. Sure, I think it’s awesome and I love every bit of it but there are moments when we fail. Anyways, he slipped and fell and then got part of his halter over one ear. He lost a lot of confidence in me but I’m going to try and loosen the halter enough to get it back on so we can get back to leading. But some wins! We worked on backing and he was really starting to understand leading! This dude is so fun to work with!!

Excuse the pen.. and even though you can’t see them my “mustang gentling in the rain” sweatpants. This is BIG progress from yesterday. Yesterday I pretty much just sat in his pen for a few hours and he chilled out next to me and munched on some hay as we both his from the rain 😂 Walked into his pen today and met a whole new horse. He’s letting touch all over his face comfortably and approaching me calmly. Figured out that he has not one but TWO whorls. woah. Hopefully tomorrow we’ll be able to get a lead rope on him! And hopefully my arena dries up 😂 Still no name… poor dude. For now I’m calling him dude and kid and bruh (maybe I’m spending too much time at school?) He’s weaseling his way into my favorite horse list slowly but surely (all of mine are in my favorites list. Whoops.) Tag 8813 will be available following his competition in mid June! Message me if you have any questions!

Oh Scout… 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

First touch! This was on Sunday! He also sniffed Hannah Black’s hand 🥰

Forehead touches ✨ So far he’s been pretty awesome! He’s resembling Luna Mae a lot from her wild days. Gus was more curious than both of them and just kind of wanted to make friends with everyone. Luna and this dude were/are more shut off and slowly overcoming their fear boundary. I woke up early just so I could sit in the pen with him and he ended up coming over and standing next to me for awhile before taking a few steps away to eat. Luna and Gus both stood next to me from the other side of the fence so I think that helped him build confidence! We eventually got comfortable with nose touches and he let me touch his forehead, jaw, chin. He’s so far not living up to his Sulphur roots 😂

Let the journey begin… 🎉

Just Luna Mae being the coolest. Mark is her favorite game to play by far. We’re working on a few other tricks right now but in order to keep her focused we take breaks to play with her Mark and see how far away we can get from it. She made it from one end of the arena to the other today! Excuse Tom chasing her 😂

🥰🥰

Love these two 🥰 Luna and Gus really are both one of a kind, Gus has been off work for a bit but me and Mason took him out today to groom him and Mason lunged him by himself!

A little almost fail from Luna 😂 Just goes to show we are absolutely not perfect! We haven’t worked on “Mark” since October I think! Right after this she got it from about 100ft away so I’m pretty happy! Not to mention the distraction of wind, highland cattle, Molly Mule and the dogs. She’s a pretty cool filly!!

Just two red babies 😴 Gus is a yearling mustang from Jackson Mountains, NV who IS avaliable for reassignment! He’s the coolest little guy I’ve worked with! Maple is my 9 week old lab/boarder collie pup (three of her siblings are up for adoption too!) Gus has been off for a week while I catch up on everything else, I always forgot how cool he is. you really can just ask him to get out of the pasture, lay down and let pups sit on him 😂 Maybe you’ll see some cool liberty tricks with mustangs and Maple in the future 😉 I have some ideas
