As a coach, mentor, trainer, clinician or whatever the chosen title is…. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing the horses and people you pour your heart and soul into excel. To see them reach beyond what they thought possible or expected.
Helping them with their journey is how I get to live mine. I don’t take it lightly or just as “part of my job “.
It really matters to me and to be called mentor by those I’ve helped carries far more importance to me than me winning another gold buckle. I don’t think anyone truly knows how deeply that affects me.
I personally give credit to those who have impacted my life and helped me so greatly in this journey. Without them I wouldn’t be where I am. Kim and Shane Wagoner along with Val Chambers…. They are the ones.
As for those who have come into my circle, excelled and become more refined and knowledgeable and give my name as mentor, THANK YOU and those that don’t…. Well, that’s on you.
