What an incredible weekend with the best people. The golden boy was still golden, and I got one last weekend of sanity before the crazy💕.
Horses, cows, ropes, rawhide, silver, horse hair, great food, and the best humans is a pretty hard thing to beat. Thanks so much to @oxbowwendy , @oxbowbart , @zrbanebitspur , and @heritage.horseman.supply !
What I know I felt and hopefully captured in these moments was JOY. Not always happiness, sometimes uncertainty, maybe fear, often exhaustion, but ALWAYS JOY. So here is to more of that.
More incredible humans.
More sunsets and sunrises. As my friend @western_workouts would say, “Chase the light.”
More laughter.
More mountains.
More silliness.
More stillness.
More chasing of dreams.
And ALWAYS more Horses💕

Golden boy and I are getting the dance figured out. I had a fantastic weekend with my friends at @mthorseworks ! I feel so dang grateful for this horse. He reminds me so much of his momma all the time❤️🩹🥹, and he teaches me far more than I’ll ever teach him.
Thanks @lindseymulcare for all the video and for the invite!
Some places feel like a time warp, and this one never fails. It’s truly one of my favorite places in the world, and it takes me back 100 years❤️.
I love sandhill cranes, and they love this place. I didn’t get them on video because I was too busy enjoying them… but if there was an actual background noise to put on this video, their calls echoed out of the trees would be it.
