Grateful for my herd of Unicorns (Champions, ex-Racehorses, War horses, unwanted horses, neglected horses, old horses) the best teachers who deserve nothing but the very best of everything. 💓 Thank you for your service.

My $3k horses stand right alongside my $40k horses.
I’ve had a $500 horse go on to earn $100k.
I’ve watched a $35k horse become a $5k horse with one X-ray.
I owned a mare who earned $107k — and she was purchased for just $700.

Horses don’t know their price tag, and they don’t know what they’ve won.
But they absolutely know how you treat them.

There isn’t a single horse on my place that’s treated any differently than the others.
You can’t put a price on a soul.

Today, as I walked through my pastures,
I petted the noses of horses whose owners failed them.
I petted the noses of horses who could have been winners, had they ever been given the chance.
And I also get to pet the winners.

Today, I kissed the noses of colts who could become winners one day —
if their people help them reach their full potential.

Horses don’t understand dollar value.
But they know if you love them, and if you believe in them.
Feed them well — and they’ll feed your soul right back.
