What a wonderful week, and experience we've had here at the Powderhorn Ranch this week. We came to their semi annual ranch horse sale and are coming home with 2 great mounts.

Congrats to Jen on her purchase of Maverick, from Mr Bo**er Brown. This little horse sure is handy, and handsome to boot!

Also, a big congrats to the Surdi's on their purchase of Clancy. This amazing guy is going to be such a wonderful addition to your family's herd.

So we decided to do a thing this year that actually started last year... thanks Nick Heaton for adding us to your bee bunch 🐝! We've started with Mason bees here on the farm and they're just so wonderful. Also, a big thank you to Julie Campbell for introducing me to Shea with Farmer Frogs who helped add more little fuzzy guys to our mason bee population ❤️

We are so excited to start offering the Equifuse line of products here at R&J Horsemanship. We have been using them here for a couple of years now and just find them to be a superior product compared to what we find at both local & national chain feed stores.

Please reach out to us if you're interested in purchasing, or if you have product questions, we'remore than happy to chat.

Beautiful morning for a ride here at the R&J property. The boys are ready to head out for their training rides.

Sooo... last year I started doing cold plunges and loved the health benefits. Yes, I know it's a ranch set up, but it works 😉. On average I would do an 8 to 10 minute plunge every morning.

Somehow over the later summer months heading into fall, I got out of the habit. So I made a decision last week that I was plunging back in (see what I did there?)! We set up the tank on Friday afternoon, and started back up Saturday morning.

This morning was a huge mental challenge thanks to mother nature. There was maybe a couple inches of snow and a thin layer of ice 🧊 just taunting me, causing me to ask myself if i really wanted to do this this morning. Had to fix my drive and persevered in the end... I did it... 6 minutes in the tank!

All I have to say is thank goodness for layers, mittens and warm house slippers 🥶 🧊 ☃️

Came across a song lyric on a podcast this morning which sums up my journey currently - “The days I keep my gratitude higher than my expectations, those are good days.”

When I think about the life I'm building right now I have some pretty simple and small steps I make/take each day that help me build my gratitude and hold it on the forefront. One of the beast realizations it's brought about is self care is key.

At the start of each day, I begin with self care, and take a cold plunge on my back deck (it may be ranchy - but it's an amazing start), then eat a small breakfast, all within a half hour of waking up. From there. And in between my chores, clients, wife and mom duties I make time to listen to at least part of a podcast - currently I'm digging Warwick Schiller's Journey On, or read/listen to a book about connection with animals/nature/self. Each of these impacts my work 100%. Remember to pause a moment and, breathe and appreciate the things around you 🌎.

I see positive results in the world around me because of where and how I work hard to keep my mind, attitude, and gratitude ❤️

Live life big, and spread the gratitude you grow 🌱
