Feeling so full of gratitude for these three and the mindful walks we share.
.
Can you believe Angel’s one year anniversary is just around the corner? April 29th is the official date she was sent to me. What a blessing she has been. Over the last year we’ve worked with our Naturopath Poppy Philips and the The Masterson Method, Integrated Equine Performance Bodywork with Will Friday (by the way, guess who’s Certified in the Masterson Method for Dogs? Me!🙋🏻♀️) along with phototherapy, better nutrition and lots of love, but it’s all been worth it.
.
We ride on my property, but I have yet to take her out riding off property. I was told she’s fine, no problems. I just didn’t feel it was right until recently. Let’s be real for a minute: Last time I was a proficient rider I was 15yo, I’m pushing 50 and spent the last 6yrs in the fight of my life which includes brain damage that’s halfway healed so the last thing I need is to get thrown in the middle of the street. 😉
.
For me, personally, I wanted to wait until our relationship had a deeper connection. She’s always been a good girl, but I knew part of it was due to the multiple hard lives she’d lived. I knew she was obeying because she assumed the consequences would be high if she didn’t. She was always tense and stiff. Still a bit stiff, but she is relaxing now that she knows she’s loved and safe. She is finally learning how to return love and seek connection.
.
Walking with her reminds us (Han, Rey and I) to stop and take a look around, observe the environment and be mindful.
.
She stops often, sometimes because she was startled by something, which has also been impressive in its own way. I’m mindful of “how” she reacts. She’s on my right, so she could easily flip out and run over us. She’s very careful not to. She’ll sort of jump (horse people know what I’m saying) in place, hardly moving towards me. I thank her and let her know how proud of her I am. Sometimes
Yes, yes I do decorate and deliver 🦄unicorn cookies to my horse on a plate.

“Jen, but how do you do it all on your own!?” is a question my clients ask me often.
.
Of course, referring to running a business, taking care of a home and property, taking care of myself and healing multiple chronic illnesses, continuing my education, new certifications, hobbies... The answer:
.
I do it scared.
I do it confident.
I do it sad.
I do it happy.
I do it exhausted.
I do it nauseated.
I do it weak.
I do it strong.
I do it in pain.
I do it alone.
I do it for the awesome dogs I work with and their amazing people that love them.
I do it for the love Han, Rey and Angel surround me with every day.
I do it because this is my gift, my calling, my purpose.
I do it because chores don’t do themselves.
*And sometimes some things just don’t get done. #TrueStory
Just like you.
The only difference is, you may not be doing it alone, and you may not be doing it while healing Lyme brain damage + multiple illnesses, though it doesn’t mean you don’t also have a lot on your plate. 🙏🏼❤️
.
I do it when I can, rest when I can’t. ❤️
.
However, ending with a positive twist! I also do it with the Superpowers of AuDHD which give me excellent Pattern Recognition, Creative Problem Solving, Resilience, Hyper-Focus, keen sense of Observation, Strong Moral Compass and super tuned Intuition to name a few. 😉

🦄 My Happy Place🪽
.
There was a time when even a reining horse couldn’t shake me bareback. A time when I could post without stirrups and jump up and down off of small cliffs cross country. A time when I hiked Mt. Rubidoux at sunrise, twice in a row sometimes. A time when I woke up early and went to CrossFit.
.
Then all systems started to fail. Slowly at first, for several years, then rapidly until I was functioning below 10%. I’m going to save the rest of that story for another time.
.
Today, Angel is my CrossFit. Carrying 50# bags of horse feed, 100# hay bales and of course, riding. While I used to have excellent balance and an impressive amount of strength, I am quite wobbly on her bareback. Better in a saddle of course, but every other ride I get on without one specifically to work on balance and strength. All I’m gonna say is: my thighs are on fire!🔥

My Super Hero - Hyperion’s Han Solo of Olympus Walk, SD TT CGCU/A RI TKA, Animal Actor with a credit to his name - I am so proud of this guy, my heart is bursting with love.
.
As a full time Service Dog who takes his job very seriously, he is never far from me, he is always watching me, ready to jump in and save the day at a moments notice. Showing in Conformation is his side gig, it’s the thing we can do when my multitude of chronic illnesses allow, and even then, he is still in SD mode keeping an eye on me at all times. Though we have not been able to show very much during the past year, I’m so proud of how well he’s done.
.
Considering he’s generally up against Champions and very experienced dogs, I’d say we’ve not done too badly. Now we are just chasing his last 3pt major, but we’ll try again at the Apple Valley KC Show!

Another fabulous weekend in the books! Rain and class cancellations, Thank You Tyler @Ridgeway.farms - ready for Rattlesnake Aversion Training!
.
Angel was not as happy as I was, but Rey did a great job of getting her attention and calming her down. 🫶
.
Her area will need a few more times to be clear for riding; I’m excited too watch it transform this year!
.
Super Special lesson with Jen and her awesome mom! Han helped Lola with her down; took a minute, but all came together nicely.
.
To Ace for 5x70# sand bags (350# of sand to unload/distribute), back to Ace for 350#, unloaded and spread. Yep, definitely needed Han to help me out of bed, totally worth it! 💪
.
Sunday was an early one, alarm went off at 4am - Han and Rey rolled out at 7am. So unfair. Han did his best to beg pizza off of Erick. Han was sad. 😂
.
I absolutely love hosting Rattlesnake Aversion Training- The Natural Solutions Team is amazing! They are all very accomplished animal handlers and trainers.
.
Joclynn - you are pure awesome, such a joy!
Rob - you are the international man of mystery and adventure; one day when I’m healthy, but for those that would like to join him: NatureQuestWildlife.com, you can also catch him on “Kings of Pain” (Hulu, Prime, etc).
.
Erick and Erin, I’m so glad your mom called me for help all those years ago (and you stopped by to see what I had to say which was the same thing you told her, lol, bless your mom). You two inspire me. Thank you for all the education you pass on to me, and huge thanks for your advice and guidance with my — Rabicano! lol - I feel incredibly grateful to have had a horse trainer for the day. I so appreciate learning from both of you. 🙏❤️ - until next year! Or when I can come and try to snuggle a mini… 🤣 Love you guys!

Guess who gets one of her Christmas presents early?!
😇 Angel does! 🎁
.
After months of me trying to decide what type of halter, what color and where….
Angel finally has her very own, brand new custom halter!
.
Merry Christmas, Angel! 😇
Stay tuned for photos of her wearing it coming up next.

Super Trainer 🦸🏻♀️ Tip: When
It comes to equipment for my dogs and horse, I prefer Leather and Biothane. It gives you an excellent grip on reins, leashes or lunge / long lines, cleans up easily and lasts forever. Check the tags in this post for recommended companies to purchase from.

When you are watching Stephen King’s Rose Red because it’s spooky season and doing an Iridology assessment at the same time. 👀
.
The eyes truly are the windows to everything inside the body. Each mark or color variation, each shading has a meaning. It correlates to different parts of the body and tells you what happening in real time. One of the best diagnostic tools we have for us and our animal companions.
.
If you’d like an assessment on your animal companion, please fill out the Canine Wellness Form on my site. 🐶🐱🐴

So, did I mention this giant puppy is officially part of the family now? Yep, Han and Rey have a big sister.
.
Actually, she became official on July 31st. Lu’s birthday. He’s still blessing me from the other side. ❤️

When I pull out of my driveway she comes trotting after me, wanting to know where I’m going and how long I’m going to be gone. When I arrive home she comes trotting after me, greeting me with a nicker, wanting to stick her head in the car and see what I bought. She trots after me as I make my way down the driveway towards my garage.
.
She’s a giant, curious puppy and I just love her to pieces. She wants to be involved with everything, including all of my lessons and classes. Inspired by working with Joel this past weekend, we’ve started our trick training with Head Up/Head Down and lifting her front feet on command, which can turn into so many different behaviors. Stay tuned!

When you’re taking too long to feed, because your ADHD demands that you do 49 different tasks between your bedroom, the back door, walking through the yard to the garage and finally reaching the feed station so your horse has to come and remind you that she would like elevenses please and thank you.
.
Super 🦸🏻♀️ Trainer Tip: Retraining is super beneficial at any age or time in their life. You’ll notice that Han Solo has a leash on and probably not for the reason one might think. He’s not aggressive with her. He’s in love with her and wants to be near her every second of the day. He’s obsessed and would rather be burning through calories running around with her than eating, drinking or relaxing. So, back on leash to re-teach calm. He’s at a perfect working weight if he were going to herd farm animals all day, but to finish the last few points and get that CH in front of his name, I’ve got to put quite a bit of weight back on him, which has always been a challenge. He’s got a metabolism like a Malinois.

What a difference 11 wks make!
.
Unicorns 💩 about 10-12 times a day. I can fit about 5-6 piles of 💩in one trash bag. That’s two trash bags per day. Now, if you don’t know this, their poop is quite large and heavy. Eleven weeks ago, when I scooped and needed to throw the bag in the trash bin it took two hands and I had to spin to gain momentum for it to actually make it in the can.
.
Today, one handed, full bag, toss in can. 💪She’s my current workout partner. 😉

Of course, while I’m scooping 572 💩 piles, these three are eating the mulberries, eating the grass, lounging and rolling in the grass, living their best life.

I’m obsessed with farrier videos. Yep, there’s just something so satisfying about a good trim and clean up. Even more so, I love the education that some farriers offer. So much so I would love to shadow a farrier or take some courses on hoof care (in my spare time).
∙
This is Angel’s front left. She’s overdue for a trim, however, I thought she had just somehow torn up her frog. According to one of the videos I watched, the frog sheds once a year. I had no idea, or if I did know this in my past, I had forgotten.
•
ATTN: My local horse friends in or near Riverside - I’m looking for a farrier, can you help with referrals? Bonus points if he’s in my age category and single. 😂

Super 🦸🏻♀️Trainer Tip: Be mindful of how many free treats you offer. It might be fun in the beginning, but begging for food / treats that have not been earned can develop into unpleasant behaviors.
❤︎
Lyme Warrior 🏹 Tip: Grilled Cheese and Chips are not health food. I know, obviously, right? Just a gentle reminder that everything you put in or on your body and that of your beloved companions will either heal or harm. Everything that heals extends life and health. Everything that harms declines life and health. Looks like I’m low on the Heath food in my home and need to go grocery shopping tomorrow. 😉
