This weekend was one for the books, full of light, good friends, and reminders of what truly matters. Every challenge overcome is another reason to be thankful for where we are and who’s beside us. Feeling blessed, grateful, and ready for what’s next ♥️

Today we celebrate the Cowgirl.

Defined by grit, strengthened by resiliency, carried with grace.
She is layered, complex, and unapologetically bold.

The Cowgirl can do it all, from the rodeo arena to raising the next generation, while chasing her own dreams. She wears every role with strength and intention.

She knows the value of those she surrounds herself with, people who steady, sharpen, and stand beside her.

Patience isn’t found at the finish line, it’s in the walk. Every step counts, every pause teaches, and every resource you use brings you closer. 🐎💫 Slow down. Trust it. Own it.

🔥 Bringing the Fire Back! Start a round of EPMSD with me🔥

My gelding has been a little sluggish and not quite as fiery lately. I’m guessing the mix of extreme heat, weather changes, and added stress caused a minor flare.

🔹 Why EPMSD?
1️⃣ Helps reduce inflammation & support the nervous system.
2️⃣ Aids in detox and recovery during times of stress.
3️⃣ Supports healthy red blood cell production for optimal energy.

My favorite way to give it is mixed into soaked alfalfa cubes. I personally feed it once a day, two scoops. Here’s to getting him feeling 100% again! 🐎💨

Felon had his second weekend back on the road this year and he steamrolled every expectation I had. While we didn’t have much luck in the Open Long Gos at the2025 Iowa NBHA State Finals, despite laying down beautiful runs, we didn’t automatically qualify for the Finals. I was a bit bummed, but we were able to quickly regroup for the Redemption Round, where the winner of each division would advance.

I was hesitant to make a second run on him that day, but Felon was confident. Quite literally saying, “you just sit tight,” stayed locked in, delivered, and won the 2D, earning us a spot in the Finals.

To top it off, we also placed in the Adult Average 2D, and Felon stayed solid through the Finals to finish as the 2025 Open 3D Reserve Champion. We were able to come home safe, feeling great, with some jingle in our pocket and lots of goodies.

Words can’t fully express my gratitude for this horse. We have had quite the journey, and to lay down three great and fun runs with limited exposure this summer is an overwhelming and humbling feeling. 🩵

MUST KNOW MONDAY:
Inflammation isn’t the enemy—it’s the body’s healing messenger.

Inflammation signals tissue repair by alerting the body to damage, bringing oxygen, immune cells, and growth factors to clean and rebuild tissue. Shutting down inflammation too soon stops healing.

During EPMSD detox, flare-ups mean healing is active as toxins and damaged cells clear out. Pain and swelling are protective signals, not setbacks.

EPMSD supports healing naturally with botanicals like MSM, Shavegrass, Wormwood, and Cinnamon that boost circulation, repair tissue, and clear pathogens—enhancing the body’s own repair system rather than blocking inflammation.

Ask yourself: Is your horse’s inflammation harming or healing?

Some horses come into life as champions, gritty and gifted, full of fire, the kind that turn heads in the arena. Others arrive quietly, with soft eyes and steady hooves, asking for nothing but giving everything. And sometimes, a horse enters unexpectedly, maybe even wrapped in winter as a Christmas surprise, and ends up changing everything.

However they arrive, when they leave… it shatters something sacred.

The truly special ones are the teachers. They don't just take their riders across pastures or through patterns. They shape character. They teach patience, courage, humility, and grace. They grow people from the inside out.

They are there through milestones and growing pains, through first rides and final hugs. They stand steady in the storms, hear the secrets no one else ever will, and remind us without a single word how deeply trust can run. They don’t just carry weight on their backs; they carry whole chapters of life.

And when it's time to say goodbye, it never feels fair. Even in their passing, they teach so much about life, and sometimes the lessons feel too raw, too sharp. The timing too soon. The ending too unjust.

There’s a saying that every horse deserves to be loved by a child. Because to be loved by a child is something sacred. It’s not polished or perfect. It’s muddy boots, mismatched tack, colored hair extensions and clip ins, glitter, and hours spent brushing just to be close.

It’s innocent. Wholehearted. Undemanding.

To be loved by a child means never being judged for the gray hairs or the stiff joints. It means being trusted completely, confided in deeply, and forgiven without hesitation. It’s a kind of love that asks for nothing but gives everything.

And when a horse is loved like that, it changes them. It softens the hard edges, brings light to old eyes, and makes even the most seasoned soul young again.

And when they are loved like that, it shows. In their softness. In their pride. In the way they look back one last time, with unwavering trust and compassion, as if to say, “I know.”

The best horses in Heaven have no tail.
Because the best ones leave it behind with someone who couldn't bear to let go of all of them. It may seem like a small thing, but it carries everything. It’s a tribute, a memory, a way of saying:
This horse mattered.
This horse gave it all.
This horse was loved beyond words.

That’s the kind of love only a horse can inspire. The kind that lingers in the dust, the stall door creak, the empty halter. The kind that never really leaves.

Hug your horse today- thank them for shaping hearts, carrying souls, and giving every part of themselves without ever asking for anything in return.

🧠 Why Your Horse’s Gut Health Is EVERYTHING

Your horse’s gut isn’t just about digestion — it’s the front line of their immune system, nutrient absorption, and parasite resistance.

When the gut lining breaks down (“leaky gut”), it triggers a chain reaction:
➡️ Toxins enter the bloodstream
➡️ Nutrients stop absorbing
➡️ The immune system weakens
➡️ Parasites thrive and keep coming back

If your horse is skinny despite eating well, struggles with recurring worms, or bounces between skin, gut, and nerve symptoms…
👉 The real problem may be an invisible one: gut damage

This vicious cycle can’t be fixed with wormers or feed alone. It needs a systemic reset — starting at the gut wall.

After months on the sidelines, we finally stepped back into the arena this weekend, and wow, what a ride.
I wasn’t sure what to expect after being out since February. Honestly, I was just hoping we could hold it together. But what unfolded was more than I could’ve hoped for — some big personal wins, checks all three days, and a whole lot of heart behind every run.

More than anything, this weekend reminded me how important your people are.
The ones who cheer the loudest when things go right, but just as importantly, the ones who sit with you in the quiet when everything feels heavy.
The ones who answer the endless phone calls, send the late-night texts, and hold space for all the chaos in the group chats.
That’s the tribe. That’s the magic.

Felon was a huge part of that magic. He came in strong, steady, and honest, not missing a beat. After everything we’ve worked through, feeling him fire again was something really special.

We’re headed home for a few days to regroup and back to the practice pen to work out a few kinks. Feeling hopeful, grounded, and excited for what the rest of summer holds.🩵
