Sometimes life throws you curve balls when you least expect it. This week has been spent trying to recover, slow down long enough to heal, and piece together everything that happened after Monday’s freak accident.

Since then, I’ve heard all the questions and comments:
“Are you ready to stop now?”
“Don’t you think this is a sign?”
“Well, maybe if you had fewer horses…”

And honestly, my answer is still the same.

I am exactly where I’m supposed to be. I’m pursuing the life and dreams I’ve worked hard for, and one accident doesn’t change that. Horses are powerful animals, and when you choose this lifestyle, you understand there are risks that come with it. But loving horses means loving them through all of it — the good days, the hard days, the wins, the setbacks, and even the moments that shake you.

I don’t blame the horses. I don’t love them any less. And I don’t suddenly doubt my lifestyle or career choice because something scary happened. If anything, moments like this remind me just how much heart, grit, and passion this life takes.

Accidents happen in every walk of life. This one just happened to involve something I love deeply. I may be bruised, sore, and recovering, but I’m not defeated.

At the end of the day, this lifestyle is part of who I am. And when you truly love something, you don’t walk away from it the moment it gets hard.

I’ve spent way to much time in hospitals and way to little around horses these last couple weeks. Jewel and I previewed in barrels, poles and open arena this afternoon. Now we are enjoying the team roping. Don’t miss out on her tomorrow morning. Sale starts at 10:30am and we are hip #7

I hope everyone has had an amazing Mother’s Day!

As promised, it’s time to roll out the Mother’s Day Special. I will be offering 15 contracts at HALF OFF Hickory’s breeding fee — yes, you read that right, half off!

These contracts will be $750, plus chute/shipping (which is $375) . This is the lowest price that has ever been offered on Hickory.

Why? Because as a single mom, I wanted to show my appreciation for all the hardworking women out there balancing life, family, and everything in between.

Don’t forget about our handsome stallion Icee Hickory. We are on the home stretch on this years contracts, but it’s never to early to start thinking about next year

Here she is! Miss Jewel. Finished in the barrels and poles. She has been used for flags, as a pick up horse and for team roping. She has spent the last year doing playdays, parades and trail riding. She is gentle enough for a youth and has the go for mom or dad to take and compete on. Videos of her just a few posts down.
