Hello everyone,
I have been pondering some things very deeply lately ..
This isn't going to be an easy one for me as this is my life but its time to make some big changes and prioritize some other things.

We will not be taking on any new clients or training as stepping back is the next decision.

Its time to channel in a different direction.
I thank each and every one of you for the support and riding along side me.
This industry just isn't what it used to be and I cannot keep pouring my heart and knowledge into this if it doesnt get acknowledged.

Thank you so much again everyone, see you along our new ventures to come.
🥰🐴

The work you do on the ground, is just as important as the work you put in, in the saddle; if not more..

This is a good portion of it, but there's so much more reason behind what completes my enjoyment of every bit of it ! Its the riding, training, teaching, showing, doctoring, buying, selling, hauling and the knowledge grown from all of that. Yet so much more.
Its not for everyone and those who feel it in their blood, those will be the ones to build our next generation.

🚨 INSTRUCTOR REALITY CHECK 🚨
Things They Don't Tell You About Teaching Riding:

🎓 "If you can ride, you can teach"
REALITY: Being a good rider ≠ being a good teacher. Pedagogy, psychology, and communication skills matter more than your last show ribbon.

📱 "Students will respect your time"
REALITY: You'll get calls at 10 PM asking about tomorrow's lesson and texts asking if "light rain" means lessons are cancelled.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 "Parents will appreciate your expertise"
REALITY: Dr. Google and YouTube make everyone an expert. You'll defend basic safety protocols to parents who "know better."

☀️ "Work outside in beautiful weather"
REALITY: You'll teach in 100°F heat, freezing rain, and hurricane-force winds.

💔 "Share your passion with others"
REALITY: You'll love seeing breakthroughs but watching students quit due to money, fear, or teenage drama will break your heart repeatedly.

🏠 "Great work-life balance"
REALITY: Weekends and holidays are your busiest times. Date nights happen on Mondays (if you're lucky).

BUT HERE'S THE TRUTH:
Despite all this, when a scared kid gets their first canter or an adult conquers their fear... when you see that spark in someone's eyes as they connect with their horse...

You remember why you chose this impossible, beautiful, crazy career.
The hard parts make the magic moments even more precious.

Because, RODEO!

Another day, another rodeo playday where I had no idea where my kids were for a large portion of it, yet peeping them here and there. 😂🤷🏼‍♀️
I was talking to another mom who had “adopted” my youngest at her trailer for part of the day and we both agreed that this is one of the only places left where we can truly feel safe letting our kids just be kids.

Isn’t that ironic? There’s plenty of “danger” here. Horses, trucks, trailers, and lots of strangers… But, it remains one of the places we feel most at ease as parents.

I can’t take my eyes off my kids in the grocery store for a split second these days, but at the rodeo grounds when they say “I’m going to play at my new friends trailer” it’s just the norm.

Snacks are communal. Shade is communal. Toys are communal. Coaching is communal. Parenting is communal.

What a blessing!

Be smart, know your kids and know your horses. But let’s also just thank God this part of the ugly world we live in is still a place for our children to thrive. We will do everything in our power, as a family, to keep it that way.

“The Village” is alive and well here.
