Practice night before the youth rodeo this weekend! Thanks STP Fairgrounds for another great ride day with good ground.

My best friend Mark Hobbs gave me the greatest advice when I first started out and it still rings true today:

“There’s no limit to how far you can go if you don’t care who gets the credit for it.”
💗Spoken like a true horseman

-SOLD- Saturday reminder!

Some days it’s not your horse.
Some days it’s not the ground.
Some days… it’s you.

And that’s okay.

We all have runs we wish we could take back.
A bad decision.
Bad timing.
A moment we rode out of emotion instead of feel.

But here’s the part people don’t talk about enough You have to forgive yourself. And you have to forgive your horse.

Because holding onto frustration doesn’t fix anything. It just carries into the next ride… the next run… the next mistake.

Your horse doesn’t need your anger.
They need your leadership.
Your consistency.
Your willingness to come back better, not bitter.

And the same goes for you.

You are not going to ride perfect every day.
You are going to mess up.
You are going to cost yourself runs.
You are going to learn the hard way sometimes.

But growth doesn’t come from beating yourself up it comes from owning it, learning from it, and moving forward.

“His mercies are new every morning.” — Lamentations 3:22–23

That means today is a reset.
Not a reminder of yesterday’s mistakes.

So forgive the run.
Forgive the ground.
Forgive your horse.
Forgive yourself.

Then go back to work with a clear mind, a better plan, and a whole lot more intention.

Because the riders who make it aren’t the ones who never mess up…
they’re the ones who don’t stay stuck there.

Some days your best won’t cut it.
That’s not failure—that’s feedback. Use it. Get better. Come back stronger.

The people who run their mouth the most about others or act like the loudest expert in the room are usually the ones who know the least. Truly successful people usually are not out here do***ng on everybody else, tearing people down, or obsessing over what someone else is doing. They are too busy building, learning, growing, and helping.

People who actually know what they’re talking about do not need to scream it from the rooftops or belittle everyone around them. Real knowledge is usually paired with humility. Real success is usually paired with confidence, not constant criticism.

The loudest ones in the room are rarely the most accomplished. They just want attention.
The ones who are truly doing something with their life usually offer guidance, support, and wisdom instead of gossip and negativity.

If all someone has to offer is criticism, that says a whole lot more about them than it does about the person they’re talking about.
