“Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right.” – Henry Ford

Your mind is Google Maps for your life.

It spends every second of your day mapping out the best way for you to reach what you’re after.

What you focus on inevitably is the direction you will head. If you believe you will fail, not good enough or don’t have what it takes, your mind will work to prove you right.

If you believe you have what it takes to succeed, again, your mind will look for every opportunity to assist you in doing so.

There are many different names for this law of attraction and I won’t go into this here. However, the point is, your thoughts define your actions and your actions define your outcome.

Learn to pay attention to your attention.

Constantly evaluate the quality of your thoughts daily. And most importantly be aware of the fuel you are feeding your mind and your body.

What you surround yourself with matters.

The two hills at the beginning and end of my driveway are starting to get a bit washboard-ey.

I will probably drag them Thursday (which makes the top layer very loose) so they can settle Friday Saturday and Sunday.

Thank you for your patience.

IS RAIN ROT A FUNGAL OR A BACTERIAL DISEASE?

Rain rot (or rain scald) is the common name for a contagious BACTERIAL skin disease called dermatophilosis. It's caused by the bacterium "Dermatophilus congolensis," which thrives during wet seasons and in geographical locations with high precipitation and humidity. It can also develop after horses have sweat under blankets or tack, and equines with compromised immune systems are more susceptible.

Why should you not mistake rain rot for a fungal disease?
Antifungal medications and topicals have no effect on the bacteria responsible for rain rot, therefore diagnosing the condition correctly is very important!

How does rain rot happen?
The bacteria infects the hair follicles and damages the hair follicle and shaft; the hair will then pull out in small clumps leaving pink skin or purulent scabs behind (pro tip: your horse will NOT thank you for picking at them!) If you do not address the factors that promote the right bacterial environment (for example, you always leave your horse to stand outside in the rain without shelter or the protection of a waterproof rug), rain rot can keep recurring. If left untreated, the condition can even progress to a point where it opens the door for more serious, secondary skin infections.

If you suspect your horse has rain rot, be sure to consult your veterinarian on the best treatment plan based on the severity of your horse's case. While there are a million products that can be found in your local tack store, your horse doctor may have cause to prescribe a specific course of action.

Love this, never stop chasing your dreams! ✨

“I think people get old when they stop thinking about the future, If you want to find someone’s true age, listen to them. If they talk about the past and they talk about all the things that happened that they did, they’ve gotten old. If they think about their dreams, their aspirations, what they’re still looking forward to—they’re young.”

― Peter Attia MD, Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity
