Happy Thanksgiving!

It's my favorite holiday because when else can you eat tons of amazing food, go deer hunting,spend time with family, & focus of all the positive things you're thankful for all in the same day?!

I'm thankful for everyone here who's supported me & my horsey dreams over the years.
We hope everyone has a blessed day!

"If you give me 6 hours to chop down a tree, I'll spend the first 4 hours sharpening the axe." -believed to be Abraham Lincoln 🪓

Never underestimate the importance of preparation.

In this season of my life, I may not own a horse and be able to sharpen my physical skills, BUT I have been utilizing the power of sharpening my mental skills.

As I study horsemanship, I use visualization as a way to teach my brain what to do and how it will feel. That way when im physically able to jump back on a horse, I will be so much further along had I not done any sharpening. 💪🧠

Don't go off of just my experience of what I feel. According to Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, 2016.
👇
The brain activates many of the same neural pathways during visualization as it does during real movement.

(I've got plenty of more studies to back this up.)

As we go into winter ask yourself, how can I sharpen my axe?

That could look like watching training videos, reading books, taking lessons, sharpening up your ground work, attending vendor shows, and teaching others.

Tell me- how do you sharpen your brain?

🙋‍♀️ 🫣 Definitely me. SORRY NOT SORRY 😂

This is why I bring deviled eggs (because I have the chickens they come from) or dessert (because I'm allergic to everything) 😅 🙃

Disease Outbreak is something to be extremely aware of and cautious with no matter what virus it is, even if you live on the other side of the country.

It's so sad that this outbreak will likely be devastating to some of the best horses in the industry. I've firsthand seen a good friend in college lose her best horse just becuase the new barn she moved to unknowingly was exposed to strangles by another outside horse. And just like that, her best friend was gone, and her college rodeo career was over before it even started.

As a horse owner, it is our responsibility to understand different types of common diseases, keep our tack and horse items clean and disinfected on a regular basis, and know what normal Temperature, Pulse, & Respiration is on your horse at different conditioning levels (becuase it will change!)

My thoughts and prayers go out to all those affected by this.

I recently saw a reel of a chiropractor saying that in school they're taught that no matter all the medical knowledge they have learned, never doubt when a mother says she feels like something is wrong with her kid, even if none of their medical red flag boxes are checked.

That child came from that mother and there is a deep connection that cannot be explained.

I also think the same goes for our animals. Vets are wonderful, however they have their hands full trying to juggle multiple cases, animals, & symptoms.

YOU are the one who has spent hours forming a bond with your animal. YOU are the one that can first sense a shift in energy or personality that may seem off.

Always trust your gut and never stop digging for answers. What will you regret more? Ignoring Red flags which may impact your animals life down the road or looking silly for speaking up concern?

This morning I saw one of those cutesy reels pop up where it says your normal day is someone else's dream.

And while yes there are some blessings we all luck into, there are many other ones that make me want to yell, I worked my butt off for this!

What is now normal to me is because I spent hours and hours over years and years putting in effort others clearly didn't want to for this to be my normal.

And if you did too, good for you. Own it and enjoy it. Stop lowering your thermostat level to make others comfortable, we need to see your success to inspire us to grow.

I find this to be the struggle for not only myself but many others who I help. Especially when you become a mom, there is switch that flips and you're no longer that fearless person because you have a much greater role to serve & protect now, and that's ok.

Is it just me or does it sometimes feel like getting your kids ready for school and out the door in time is a lot like getting a horse ready for a show? 🤸‍♀️🏃🏫

Your hair is a mess, your outfit looks like you fell into a pile of rags, makeup in non existent, coffee is cold, bags under your eyes 🫩... BUT your kids/ horse look polished and ready to conquer the day 😅

I thought so too 🤣

What is your favorite winter gear (pants) to ride in that allows you move but is actually warm?

My lesson last night was COLD 🥶 I'm not ready for winter 😅

Anyone have like Fleece leggings or something they like?

The leggings under jeans is getting old with how restricted they are.
