When I look at this photo, I can almost hear myself asking: What are you afraid of?

And the answers start coming. Death. Rejection. Failure. Losing people. Taking risks. Making mistakes. Being judged. Feeling ashamed. Not making enough money.

I’m 49, and those fears still come through my mind. But I’ve also lived long enough to know what happens after the hard parts. I’ve made mistakes and learned from them. I’ve taken risks and found out what was possible. I’ve lost people, faced judgment, worried about money, and kept going. Every one of those experiences has helped bring me to a life I once only dreamed about.

Sometimes I catch myself thinking about how many years I have left to work with horses and chase everything I still want to do. Then I remind myself: I don’t know how many years I have. So I want to live each day like I have a million more ahead of me.

Because as long as I keep learning, trying, and believing, I can keep reaching for my next big bodacious dream. Life has already shown me how much more there is to live for. ❤️

✨ Something exciting has been taking shape between Exceptional Equine and IB Performance Horses! ✨

Through IB Performance Horses, we have continued building our breeding program and raising, training, and developing horses with purpose. Exceptional Equine brings the educational side of that vision to life through horsemanship, lessons, clinics, workshops, and helping horses and riders build confident partnerships.

These have never truly been two separate stories—they are two parts of the same journey.

We’re excited to bring them together more than ever and begin sharing the horses, people, lessons, and opportunities that are coming next.

Take a look at the post below and follow along—this is the beginning of an exciting new season! 🤍🐴

The gentle days of summer… watching the horses come in while I fill their water, dreaming of what these young foals will grow up to be, and enjoying a few scratches and little visits along the way. Life couldn’t get much sweeter. ☀️🐴💕

🕊️ A TRIBUTE TO DOLLY PARTON 🕊️
From IB Performance Horses

Today, we remember the incomparable Dolly Parton—a legendary singer, songwriter, storyteller and inspiration to women everywhere.

She showed us that we can be both soft and strong, graceful and determined, successful and true to ourselves.

For those of us shaped by horses, country living and big dreams, Dolly’s music has always felt like home. Her songs brought joy, comfort and hope to generations.

We’re grateful for everything she shared with the world. Her music, kindness and spirit will live on forever.

Rest peacefully, Dolly. Thank you for the songs, sparkle and courage. 🤍
