This is true.

🌱 In a world that glorifies quick wins and overnight success, it’s easy to forget the truth: growth takes time.

✨Those strong roots? They’re built in the quiet seasons, in the hours of practice when no one is watching, in the setbacks that teach you resilience.

🐎Your horse knows this too. Trust isn’t built in a single ride—it’s built in the consistency of showing up, again and again, even when it feels slow.

✨So if it feels like nothing is happening, remember this: the roots are forming. And one day, that strong foundation will carry you further than you imagined.

👉 What are you working on right now that’s taking time to grow? Share it below—I’d love to cheer you on!

Good advice.

Warning: Attitude malfunction in progress. A little time with a good horse should fix it.

Fire crews have gotten their marching orders for the day and are headed to work on the fire. Mapping of the fire perimeter overnight puts the acreage at 314. Additional resources are continuing to arrive to work the fire, including one interagency hotshot crew (IHC). Crews are “going direct” – attacking the active fire edge, wherever and whenever conditions allow, to contain the fire as quickly as possible.

Yesterday Large Air Tankers (LATs) were used to help secure the western edges of the fire where homes and other critical infrastructure is at highest risk. Helicopters using water bucket drops also supported firefighters on the ground.

To see the current status of evacuations, see La Plata County's interactive map at: https://tinyurl.com/La-Plata-Evacs
La Plata County has also established a call center to provide additional information at: 970-385-8700.

This is true. Dogs too.

Ever loved a horse so much it changed you? 🐴✨

✨You’ll never be the same after loving a horse.
They don’t just teach you to ride—they teach you patience, trust, and a kind of love that stretches your soul in ways you didn’t know it could grow. 💛

It’s not just about the ribbons or the perfect ride.
It’s about the quiet moments, the soft nicker when they see you, and the lessons you didn’t even know you needed.

If a horse has changed your life, drop a ❤️ and share their name below! Let’s celebrate the ones who made us who we are.
