30 years ago I was consistently going to rodeos and jackpots. I was seasoning horses by running barrels at the Cody Nite Rodeo several nights a week. I was roping with my dad and brother in the team roping.
That buckle made me laugh because we are entered in Ten Sleep on the 5th.
Fast forward to now. I’m just a few months shy of a half century old, I’ve not competed in a long time. There’s a big difference in competing and not competing. New and different struggles are present, different fears.
The game changer is that mindset will either paralyze you or remove the excuses.
Today I am running Elsie at the Lovell rodeo. It won’t be a blazing run, but she’s not in that phase yet. We will be increasing speed together at the right time. A horse that consistently has a beautiful pattern will be able to speed up and continue that beautiful pattern.
Here’s to a no excuse summer!
