Rainer 🌲 I just had to post these photos, plus I got to have some fun with the first slide haha. was my inspiration for it!! It was a needed side project in the middle of the school year.

What does God want to say today?

Today I was told a story about how I have made an impact on somebody and how they are continuing the kindness to others. I never really thought being kind and friendly would amount to much in this particular scenario, I just wanted to do what others didn’t do for me.

That story, which almost brought my mom and I to tears, really helped open up my eyes, just a little bit… I have always struggled with feeling like I’m not good enough. But these two specific opportunities and stories have helped push me to believe otherwise.

If I hadn’t been friendly, this other person wouldn’t be paying it forward.

I can make a difference because I am a Child of God with the Holy Spirit coursing through my veins. I asked him into my life…and look at the fruits that I have bore.

I am capable. I am kind. I am enough.

Such easy words to forget from time to time, or all the time. I know I struggle with it. But God says that we are his children! We are fearfully and wonderfully made! Would someone who doesn’t care, know every hair on your head? Would he have made the stars and know them each by name?

Exactly… Now remember that through this week. I know I will be trying to, but with God, trying is enough 🫶🏼

run for hope ‘24
10k race in 1.00.59

This race was on April 13, and was a great intro into the racing world. Plus, it was for a charity! Each entry was a backpack of school supplies for a child in India 🫶🏼 Thanks Hannah for running this with me :)

What does God want to say today?

This week was an emotional week. I was having some struggles with Murph and other things just not working out. And I felt just down in the dumps a couple days… I wasn’t thinking the highest things of myself, and I just felt like I was failing.

So I did what all the cool kids are doing… and asked God to put me in a situation where I had to fail. Now normally this would be the part of the story that turns into a learning experience through this specific failure… But no, God has not put me in a situation that has led to me failing (yet) and I feel like that was the lesson.

Doing nothing is hard for me. I am always going, going, going, and I can’t just sit around… If I want something to get done, I have to do it myself, you know? While my week was all over the place, I have been very productive in what I’ve been doing for work. Plus, I have had some break throughs with Murph and Daisy…

I asked of God something that scared me… I put my heart out on the line. And who knows, I might still be put in that situation at some point so that I can learn another lesson down the line…

But I’m always learning, and this week God is telling me to trust Him because even when my world is falling apart and I’m scared that I’m failing as a photographer, He stands strong in the midst of it all telling me that all those voices in my head…are liars.

I am literally so proud of Daisy 🌼

She did very good at the vet. She only had some trouble with getting into the clinic room, but besides that was foot perfect. She got in the trailer super easy both at the beginning and at the vet! I’m so proud! I just wanted to get her checked out as I’ve never had a baby horse before :) she is as perfect as she can be ✨

Happy Mother’s Day!!

Each year I struggle to write this post because how do I sum up my favorite person in the world into a small post??

Well here I go…

Mom, you are fun, extroverted, energetic, brave, strong, determined, Jesus-loving, compassionate, and so much more. You are the reason I am who I am today 🫶🏼 You push me to be a better person and to always love Jesus ✨

Even when we have our differences, I know that no matter what is said…I always have someone to go back to. To hug. Someone on this earth that is always there for me 100% of the time. More like 110% 😂

So thank you, God knew I needed you in my life 🫶🏼

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms!

What does God want to say today?

Recently I saw a video about how we never think about how Jesus might’ve had a favorite color, food, or smell. Sometimes I forget that Jesus was human too. He had hardships and changes to go through, but that didn’t stop him from being the perfect example of how we should handle situations in this sinful world.

When He was sad, He went to God.
When He was happy, He went to God.
When He wanted a better outcome, He went to God, yet still followed the plan that meant pain for himself.

As often as I forget that Jesus was human, I forget that I should be going to God. But not even “should”…

I am ABLE.
I CAN.
I GET to go to God with my problems.

And all He wants to do is listen…

So yes, sometimes I forget how Jesus might have a favorite color, food, or smell. But I hope that I ALWAYS think about how blessed I am to be able to go to God…with everything 🫶🏼

My little spitfire (on occasion). This sweet girl has already taught me so much and really fit into our farm family 🫶🏼

She’s 2 today.. officially becoming a big girl horse !! Super excited to see how she grows and develops into an awesome mare ✨

Scroll to see her the day she came home :) such a little girl!!

Daisy Update !! 🌼✨

this crazy girl has been growing like a w**d! She is not officially 14 hands!! (thank goodness 😂) and she has been doing great. My mom handles her every day when she does morning chores and Daisy has become super chill :) She reminds me of Murph, to be honest. I round penned her for the first time this weekend and she did great. She has such a cute little trot :)

I cannot wait for the summer time !! I’m super super excited to work with her more. And hopefully by the summer we’ll have another cute little riding horse… eek!

(This photo was from a few weeks ago. But doesn’t the saddle pad look huge on her?!)

california 🌊☀️🌲❄️✨

I had such an awesome time going to northern and Southern California for spring break! We went to Yosemite and the beach and had a ton of fun. I got so many photos!

14/03/2024

It’s spring break yall, are you somewhere warm or cold?

Such a fun trip! Just wanted to post some photos from our snow shoeing and skiing adventures! It was a lot of firsts and a lot of fun ❄️

runnnnnnn 🏃🏽‍♀️💨

If you didn’t know, I am training for a half marathon. I started off with running just to get that goal of getting better. Now I actually really enjoy it. I have spent too much money on shoes and a running vest that makes me feel super professional. The runners were right, it’s an addiction once u get in! Some days I hate it, but the higher percentage of days, I love it.

P.S. Brooks are the best running shoes :)

Morning! Today I have a video of us working on R+ and learning about the click :) In the video I am working on reinforcing the click as a reward. With Murph I’m trying to lengthen the time in between where he is facing away, and Gus is still trying to get the hang off the whole look away thing. It’s a work in progress but we are getting there! They both are food motivated, so I’m then gonna work on manners around the treats. I’ve worked on this before with Murph, so he is more advanced along than Gus. (Also because Murph is too smart for his own good)! I noted every time I clicked on the video so you all can see the timing of when I reward ! Have a great day! #myguymurph #nofussgusgus

I’m thinking of trying R+ with Gus and Murph while he is still here. I’m interested to see if it will help our relationship. Gus has been more willing to do liberty without pressure, so I’m thinking it will help :) #nofussgusgus !

Sunday, February 20 ✨ . I worked with Gus a little bit on Sunday while the weather was nice and warm. Because Gus has got some extra energy inside. So we are still working on him trotting off when I ask for a circle. He gets excited and trots, then canters and such. So I do want him to run but then when he starts to slow down I keep him going so he knows that I am controlling where his feet go. He did a LOT better on knowing the voice commands today. After a while of trotting and cantering, he actually slowed down to a walk for me. And then I got him straight into a canter after that. I am super proud of how much he is retaining from our other sessions ! After having a successful lunge, I did some other ground work with him. In the video specifically, I am working on his back up. There are multiple ways I like to be able to back horses up, and this is just one. He did great and by only a couple tries he was backing up without being touched by the stick. I also worked on moving his hips and forelegs. Which both moved pretty well. The time went by super quick when I was working with him! :) #nofussgusgus

This is Gus ! He is a 15 y/o grade Appaloosa … and he’s mine :) I was not expecting to find a horse so fast, so I am super excited! We brought him home in the trailer today just in time to watch the Super Bowl ! Gus’s hashtag will be #nofussgusgus ❤️ I can’t wait to see what we accomplish :)

❤️🤍✨

🦃 Happy Turkey Day ✨ . . . I hope you all have a great thanksgiving! There are so many things in life I am thankful for :) . One specific thing I’m thankful for is the breakthrough murph and I had on Monday ! Being inexperienced and not asking questions about it, I thought I had to consistently and constantly put pressure to keep murph going. But I spoke with my mom who clarified this notion for me and I tried just doing pressure and release. It worked wonders! He was much more responsive and stayed in the trot much longer without pressure! I’m so proud of him and I’m proud of myself for realizing something was off. It’s an adventure of learning new things with murph and I love it! And for that, I am thankful ✨

okay I’m in love with this horse 🥺 this was after 3 weeks off of no riding…and we went no-hands and no stirrups ! I’m so proud of him for doing so well! We had some attitude but that was expected after such a long break ❤️ like… what would I do without that horse in my life ✨ . audio created by me, but I do not own this song !

Found some old footage in the archives that I hadn’t used before ! Don’t look too bad but definitely not where we were before Murph broke himself 😂 I love seeing our progress 🥺 it gives me so much hope for the future! Can’t wait to get back to riding! Would try and see how he’s looking but I’m so busy right now, it’s gonna have to be a weekend job!
