Threecans Barrel Horses

Here's one thing I hope everyone remembers. The industry takes all of us to keep it going. It may seem to be an expensive way of gambling at times. 🤑🌟

There is a lane for everyone. You can be in your lane and still be happy for the people trying as hard as you or even people with less/more than you. We all started somewhere and it was probably different for everyone!! The back handed comments or the posts about the price/terrible market for prospects, etc, is not helping. Breeders: Sit back and decide what you bring and set yourself apart somehow. If you're trying to get rich raising prospects, you will get an eye opener. One thing I have learned, try it at least once and see how much work it is. Most of the complaining comes from people proving that you can flood the market with average prospects. I'm not saying that to knock anyone. I am saying it because most think they can raise them cheaper & make a huge profit. I have been doing it long enough and you will offend people with your prices. If you must sell, price more aggressively. That is ok, move along.

I have worn all the hats. I have invested a lot into the industry and I'm happy to be here. It takes a huge commitment to do any of it. Pat yourself for being here and decide which is the best road for you. Get help when you need it and remember, collaboration happens at the top. Keep climbing. 💛

Menace aka Pepper is deserving of the title here for emotional support animal/therapy dog. She's cute and sweet and cheers everyone up! The best lil gal that has been easy to take on the road. It's easy to spoil this one. 🥰💞

Everything on the road to success requires hard work.

Loneliness. Isolation. Things that are uncomfortable. Once you get used to the fact people will misunderstand you, it gets easier. The 17 seconds in the arena may be judged by a timer and naysayers at times, but it's a lot of stall cleaning and riding that no one sees to prepare for that moment. No one else pays your bills. The judgement of others comes from their insecurities. Keep going.

I started out a horse crazy little girl. I decided to get into the horse business right before the incentives took off. I researched my own favorite bloodlines. I had 0 outside influence. I have been working towards building a program for a long time, mostly in silence. I don't do things loud and I probably never will. I understand that not everyone sees the reward the same as me but I enjoy what I do. I hope that everyone finds their purpose and finds a reward on their journey in this life.

One thing I can say is stay kind. But don't let folks underestimate your kindness for weakness. Just because someone has fought silent battles doesn't make them weak. Peace has a way of showing up when you let go of what you think things should look like. 🙏

I had the opportunity to join Princess Cora Habein at the Pendleton Round Up parent appreciation banquet. Cora started riding with me prior to trying out for the court. If you think I only do barrel lessons, think again. I want to see people understand the fundamentals and grow.

She is a confident horse woman, and a great speaker with a bright future. Watching her blossom with the rest of the young ladies on the court and how this year is shaping their future is fun to watch. Best wishes to them the rest of the year! Let 'er Buck!
