🇺🇸 Freedom isn't only something we celebrate today.

For many of us, it's also found in quiet mornings at the barn, long rides down a trail, the partnership with a trusted horse, and the opportunity to keep learning and growing—no matter our age.

As we celebrate America's 250th birthday, I'm grateful for the freedom to continue doing what I love and for the horse community that has enriched my life for so many years.

Wishing you a peaceful Fourth of July filled with family, friends, and, if you're lucky, a little time with your horse.

Happy Independence Day!

Well, no much bandwidth here evidently. Anyway, great to have a 2026 GMC Sierra to drive while my truck is getting fixed. One of the things I’m grateful for. I’ll give credit to PROGRESSIVE for taking good care of me.

Some days I really miss family. Weather is dry here, very unusual for February. Praying for rain (or snow).

Peace. Trust. Breathe. Love others and believe in yourself!
