No matter what you do in the horse industry this is worth listening to!!

“And the horse has a natural fear. And if you can keep that, you can get so much further along with teaching them because they have respect for you. And so, all respect is a little bit of fear. And so, if you can keep the natural fear that a c**t has trom the flight instinct, it's so much easier. And so, if you take all of that fear out of them too early, you lose a lot of the willingness later on.
Do you think that's kind of a common misconception in Barrel Racing now that you're a little bit more into it?
Because I feel like I've seen that a lot where people want, you know, their yearlings to be really kind and really handled, but almost like overhandled.
And my c**t starter is the exact same way.
She's like, don't you dare start doing stuff with this horse I will do it. But then we kind of get wherewe have issues down the road because they're a little bit more pushy, but that translate to being pushy in the bridle”

Yesterday, while riding a horse that has probably challenged me more than any horse I’ve ever swung a leg over, I had one of those moments where I just had to stop and thank God.

This horse has tested every bit of patience, knowledge and ability I have. He’s reactive, watchy, opinionated and has fought me on just about everything. I’ve threatened to sell him more times than I can count. I even gave myself a deadline. If I couldn’t get through to him by the next auction, he was going.

But deep down, I knew what was there. I knew he had the potential to be a really nice horse. I just couldn’t figure out how to reach him.

For almost three weeks, I’ve put my head down, stayed consistent and rode him every day. Yesterday, I finally felt like we had a breakthrough. We still have plenty to work on, but the horse that has frustrated me more than any other is becoming one of the nicest horses I’ve ridden.

And as I sat there, I couldn’t help but think about every horse I’ve ridden before him. Every difficult one, every mistake, every lesson learned and every time I’ve had to change my approach.

God didn’t just give me this horse to teach me patience. He gave me all those horses before him to prepare me for this one.

I genuinely don’t believe I could have gotten through to him a few years ago. I didn’t have the knowledge, the feel or the patience that those other horses taught me.

Sometimes we don’t realize how much we’re learning in the middle of the struggle. Those lessons might not make sense until years later, when you find yourself needing every single one of them.

I’m thankful for the easy horses, but I’m especially thankful for the hard ones. They’ve made me a better horseman.

Sometimes the breakthrough isn’t just in the horse. It’s in the person you’ve become while trying to reach him.

One of my biggest goals when selling a horse is finding them the best possible home. I can’t realistically keep them all, as much as I’d love to, so I take finding the right fit pretty seriously.

And let’s be honest, I’m pretty picky about where my horses go. 😂

I want to see them with owners who appreciate them, take pride in their care, and value the horse underneath them. I believe matching the right horse with the right rider is just as important as the training that goes into them. Not every horse is for every rider, and that’s okay!

I’ve put countless hours into developing these horses, getting to know their personalities, their strengths, their quirks, and what makes them tick. I want to see all that hard work continue to pay off long after they leave my barn.

There’s nothing more rewarding than watching a horse you’ve put so much time into go on to succeed with someone else. Better yet, watching them accomplish things beyond what they ever did with me!

At the end of the day, I don’t just want to sell good horses. I want to see them end up in the right hands, continue to improve, and have every opportunity to reach their full potential.

That’s what makes it all worth it to me. ❤️

Feeling extra thankful for all of my clients, the horses I get to ride, and the opportunities that continue to come my way. I truly couldn’t do what I love every day without the amazing people who trust me with their horses. ❤️

With that being said, I’m currently booked through June 2027! As much as I’d love to ride them all, there are only so many hours in a day, and I never want to sacrifice the time and attention each horse deserves.

Thank you all for keeping me so busy and allowing me to do what I love! I’m beyond grateful. ❤️
