The Art of Training Horses

A few weeks ago my friend, Angela Festervan shared with the Facebook world a picture of a painting she had been working on. It was a portrait of a horse and it was absolutely stunning. Every once in a while Angela shares progress pictures of paintings that she is working on and I just live …

Are You Giving a Voice to the Wrong People

Not everyone in your life deserves to have influence over the direction of your life. Stop giving that kind of power to the wrong people. Stop taking advice from the people you wouldn't trade places with. Stop accepting criticism from people who aren't in a position to hand it out. I'm a little fired up …

Teaching Your Horse to HUNT The Barrel

I have had so many requests to share some of my drills that I do. The truth is, I don't do that many drills! There are only a handful that I do on a regular basis, other than that I try to just ride each day with an open mind and do whatever I can …

Villains and Victims

I remember when I was in tenth grade, having a writing assignment that correlated with a book we had just read, Lord Of The Flies. I can't say I remember much about the book anymore other than it was about a group of young boys who were stranded and forced to fend for themselves. They …

Beautiful Brokenness

You know that rotten feeling in the pit of your stomach when you have just been hit with some disappointing news? Yeah I know that feeling all too well. Ugh. It feels like a punch in the gut. I guess it's part of life. In the last few years I have faced situations that have …

When You Can’t Take It Anymore

Life for me lately has felt heavy. A little burdened down by a lot of things that really don't matter. Weighted with fear and guilt and worry about the future. I recently moved to a new state with a trailer loaded down with my horses and belongings. Trusting God through this process has not been …

Training Barrel Horses with Tana Renick

I'm excited to share with you an interview with my great friend Tana Renick! I was blessed that Tana took me under her wing as an intern a few years ago. I learned more than I could have imagined was possible in the short time I was there. I came to admire her straight forward, …

You Don’t Have the Talent

You read the title to this blog and you already thought I was talking about you, huh? Ugh. It felt ugly just typing that title into the box. I guess it felt extra ugly and familiar because I've spoken those words to myself . There's a good chance someone else has even said them about …

When The Wrong People Win

Last week I went to see the Movie Aquaman in theatre. I have to admit, I haven't made time to watch TV or movies in a really long time, which had me feeling like an Amish kid seeing a moving picture for the first time. I was glued to the movie, and I left feeling …

When Your Enough Isn’t Enough For Everyone Else

So you gave it your best. You put in the effort. You tried. Everything. Nobody saw you try. Nobody gave you a pat on the back, or said “good effort, buddy” You just came up short and all anyone noticed was the failure. Except Jesus. He saw your sleepless nights, your desperate prayers. He noticed …
