Guys, I tried to do my own marketing and completely screwed up my FB ad. Because of the chaos I had ChatGPT write me a song. Please enjoy.

(TO THE TUNE OF FRESH PRINCE OF BEL AIR)

Now this is a story all about how
My Facebook ad got flipped turned upside down
And I’d like to take a minute, just sit right there
I’ll tell you how I became verified outta nowhere

In west New Hampshire born and raised
At the horse barn is where I spend most of my days
Postin’, trainin’, actin’ all cool
Tryin’ to run Facebook ads like a marketing fool

When one little boost, I thought would be fine
Started blowing up my Messenger line
I picked the wrong goal and Facebook said “Bet”
Now strangers keep messaging me nonstop on the internet

I got one little panic and Evan got scared
He said “You probably should’ve asked for help there”
I unboosted my ad, then rebooted it right
Meanwhile people were mad they got invited to write

I pulled up to Facebook around seven or eight
And I yelled to my page “Yo, this algorithm’s great?”
Looked at my notifications, I was finally there
A accidentally-verified horse girl millionaire

Okay not millionaire… but now I got a blue checkmark somehow 😂

We had three riders qualify for our zone, quite the feat in our first season!

Good luck girls 🩷

The walk is sooo important!!!!

NEDA stands for “New England Dressage Association, “ and each early fall NEDA hosts absolute top of the line clinicians for an end of season clinic.

One year that I went, it was at U-Mass, Amherst, and Klaus Balkenhol was the clinician. He’d been the coach, among many other accomplishments, of the gold medal winning German Olympic dressage team.

Right at the start he insisted that the riders WALK for AT LEAST 10 minutes, He said something like, “Most riders don’t give their horses enough time to warm up correctly. Wear a watch, because if you are a hurry up person, 10 minutes will seem like half an hour.” Not in those words, but that’ was the gist.

Over the years since then, I have repeated what Klaus said to dozens, probably hundreds of riders, and now to the point of this post---

Even though that message came from one of the most successful riders and trainers in the world, not many of the riders that I gave Balkenhol’s advice to, took it. Some did, but for most it went in one ear and out the other. They were either too impatient, or they knew better than Klaus, or something.

That type of response---lack of response is a better term---proves something, I think---

I won’t say it, what I think. See if YOU can figure it out?
