I’ll never forget how exciting it was to win my first buckle, and how it took years to finally get one.
Back then, that buckle meant everything. It was proof that all those hours, all that hard work, and all those dreams were starting to pay off.
As I've grown in this sport, the way I measure success has changed. Don't get me wrong, I still love winning, bringing home buckles, and reaching big goals. But now, success looks a little different.
It's starting colts that go on to do whatever job their owner wants, it’s patterning horses anyone can run, and having the opportunity to run with the best in the business and actually compete.
That little girl who dreamed of winning a buckle would be pretty proud of where we are today. But I think she'd be even prouder of everything it took to get here.
The goals get bigger, but so does your understanding of what success really means.🏆
