“There are c**ts I’ve loped in the first five or 10 rides and then there are some c**ts I didn’t lope for the first 60 rides. It’s part of developing a feel for what your horse is thinking. A horse will tell you when he’s ready to go to the next step. It’s your job to listen to him and go to the next step when it’s time, not to push him to a step he’s not comfortable with.

I'M COMING FOR ME!

You ever hear the phrase, "I'm coming for you."

Well, that IS NOT me! I'm not coming for you. I'm coming for ME!

You are just giving me the competition I need to get to the best version of myself, to achieve the GREAT results, and have the opportunity for BIG WINS!

I'm GRATEFUL and BLESSED to be in the same events and have the opportunity to compete WITH (not against) talented horses, and fast horses. Great riders, and great horsemen!

Without having great horses and riders to compete WITH I would never have the opportunity to grow into the rider I want to be, nor would my horse have that same opportunity.

I know we often want to come up with excuses, such as:

● "I don't have the money to afford that kind of horse."

This is a poor excuse! I know for myself, if I had all the money back I blowed on alcohol, eating out or eating unhealthy, on uneeded items, etc. I could afford any type of horse out there.

● "I don't have the time to work my horse or train the way I need to."

If you want it bad enough, you will MAKE the time!

● "I don't care about being the fastest or competing in big shows."

That's fair, but don't knock the ones that have worked their asses off, sacrificed, and committed to get to where they are now.

"A comfort zone is a beautiful place,
but nothing ever grows there."

WE ARE A PRODUCT OF OUR ENVIRONMENT.

You want to have fun, get great results, better yourself, and better your horse? Surrond yourself with great horses, and great riders.

If you hang with people who are always making excuses, speak negatively, or complain, you too will catch yourself doing the same thing.

I myself, struggle with becoming the best version of myself daily. I struggle with patience, discipline, and my brain telling me to take the easier route. So I work VERY hard on training myself to personally grow, think positively, and put myself in uncomfortable situations that will help me grow.

I have come a long ways in my personal growth, but I still have a lot of work ahead of me. I understand it's a never ending cycle, and to get my best results and reach the best version of myself I must never stop pushing myself!

"Surround yourself with the dreamers and the
doers, the believers and thinkers, but most of all
surround yourself with those who see greatness
within you even when you don't see it yourself."

I'M COMING FOR ME!

FAITH. FOCUS. FINISH.

“Don’t be a victim. Be busy with your horse so you stay out of trouble – otherwise, trouble will come and find you. Be assertive but don’t be aggressive, if you are aggressive you’ll make the horse flighty. The horse needs perimeters like anyone else. Give them guidance, support, rules. The same rules. Don’t change the game, don’t let them have excuses just cause of their past.....and love them.” - Buck Brannaman

HORSES IN TRAINING…

You pay that hefty training bill for the month.

You look to have you horse in training as little as possible so it doesn’t break the bank.

You’re disappointed when after 30 days or 60 days or 90 days, there’s still more work to be done or the goal hasn’t been met. Worse yet, it looks good, you take the horse home and it unravels piece by piece. All that money “wasted”.

When you pay a trainer, that money isn’t paying for a result, it’s paying for someone’s skilled effort.

At least for me, when someone gets unhappy that their horse “isn’t fixed yet”, or comes “untrained” after it’s been home a while, makes the task of training horses for other people, discouraging. Discouraging because the efforts are being made, usually my best efforts that are filled with compassion, determination and lots of ruminating on how to fix complex issues a horse may have. Their disappointment becomes my failure basically. I know that’s not an actual truth but it’s never rewarding when someone is disappointed due to their own expectations.

Training a horse is NOT like being a mechanic on a car. Its not a tune up, it’s not the simple replacement of a part. It’s an animal with thoughts, feelings, emotions, habits, talents, etc. You don’t just program them, tune them up or replace a faulty part and send it back good as new.

You arent paying for results to happen within your timeline, you are paying for the time it takes to reach a desired result. The more complicated the project, the bigger the investment. The more baggage a horse has, the more effort it takes to unravel the mess. The bigger the goal, the greater the investment.

People send their horses to certain trainers because they want the outcome that trainer proves they can achieve. The problem is, people want that result in the shortest time frame possible because time, again, is money. It takes the time it takes to create the vision and time costs money. People who have a diy mentality, value the effort so much more when they themselves invest their own energy into a horse rather than just paying for it. I really feel that those who do it themselves, come to appreciate the efforts it takes far more than those who sign the check.

Be nice to your trainers, they work hard for you and your horse!
