“First and foremost, all the Glory to God” 💚

Along with the other World Champions, member Jake Long said it best!

Worth the read 💚🐴

I don’t think horses were ever meant to be just animals.
I think they were a gift.
Placed gently in our lives by a God who knew
exactly how much our hearts would need them.

Because God knew there would be days
when words wouldn’t be enough.
Days when prayers felt heavy.
Days when the world would move too fast
and our souls would struggle to keep up.

So He gave us horses.

He gave us a creature
strong enough to carry our weight
and gentle enough to carry our pain.
A being that doesn’t ask for explanations,
doesn’t rush healing,
doesn’t need us to be anything
other than honest.

God knew we’d need a place to breathe.
So He gave us barns.
Quiet aisles.
Early mornings and golden evenings
where the noise of the world fades
and His presence feels closer.

He gave us horses
who feel our emotions before we speak them.
Who meet our fear with patience.
Who answer our brokenness with stillness.
Who teach us trust
without ever saying a word.

There are moments with horses
that feel like prayers in themselves—
a warm muzzle resting against your chest,
a steady breath matching your own,
a quiet ride where the only sound
is hoofbeats and your heart finally slowing down.

And in those moments,
you realize:
this is holy ground.

God blesses us with horses
to teach us things we might never learn otherwise.
Patience.
Humility.
Gentleness.
Faith.

He teaches us that strength doesn’t have to be loud.
That power can exist alongside softness.
That healing often comes slowly,
one quiet moment at a time.

He gives us horses
to walk with us through seasons—
childhood dreams,
growing pains,
heartbreak,
motherhood,
loss,
and becoming.

Some horses stay for a lifetime.
Some only for a chapter.
But every one of them
leaves fingerprints on our souls.

And even when we lose them,
even when the barn feels emptier
and our hearts ache,
we still see God’s blessing in the love we were given.
Because not everyone gets to know
a bond that deep.
A love that pure.
A connection that changes who you are forever.

I believe God knew
exactly what He was doing
when He created horses.

He knew we’d need something
that reminded us to slow down,
to listen,
to trust,
to feel.

Something that would draw us closer
to creation,
to peace,
and to Him.

So when I thank God for my blessings,
I thank Him for horses—
for the healing they bring,
the lessons they teach,
and the way they lead us back
to what truly matters.

Because horses aren’t just part of our lives.
They are part of God’s grace toward us—
a reminder that even in a loud world,
He still speaks softly.

And sometimes…
He speaks through a horse.

Big things are happening in 2026 🤠

Big news for women in rodeo. The WPRA and PRCA have officially signed a new three-year agreement—paving the way for continued growth, stronger opportunities, and a future where women’s events stand even taller in the arena.

Beginning in 2026, women’s breakaway roping will fall fully under the WPRA umbrella, marking a historic shift for the fastest-growing discipline in rodeo. As WPRA President Heidi Schmidt shared, “It just feels right to have breakaway roping solely under the WPRA in the future.”

With breakaway now featured at 560 rodeos nationwide—up from just 35 in 2019—this agreement marks another major step forward for cowgirls everywhere.
