Updates like these make my week ♥️ Boomer was not an easy mare to get to this point. A lot of work and sweat went into this process.
But man I appreciate Kelly so much as a client. Her honesty and openness and trust in the process is such a breath of fresh air in an industry that is often so tough.

Which horse is the fit for you?
Just because a sale is filled with horses of incredible quality, does not mean any horse in that sale will be the best fit for you. They are all amazing and solid and broke- but they are individuals with strengths and personality.
If you are considering one of the two that I have consigned to the June 13 Cowgirl Cadillacs sale, here’s the summary on how they differ and which one may suit you better. Having them end up in homes that are the best possible fit is my main priority!
PANCAKE: LOT 24
🥞 loves a job and knows where he’s supposed to be to get it done- whether is halter breaking, ranching, team roping, rodeoing, jumping, skijoring, or a trail ride- he’s down to do anything and everything without a second thought
🥞the kind of horse you can ranch on all day, take to 4H in the evening, enter a team roping jackpot or ranch rodeo Saturday, and go cross country jumping Sunday. Truly a using horse for the whole family
🥞 athletic, quick footed, and a cool mover
🥞 is willing to give you speed when the job requires it
🥞 if Pancake was a dog, he’d be a border collie

MR BIG: LOT 38
🍫 very beginner friendly, and a horse absolutely anyone can enjoy. He has all the buttons, but easy to control and neck reins like a dream
🍫 more woah than go and has exceptionally easy and smooth gaits to ride
🍫 will do any event or task very willingly- roping calves, skijoring, trails, barrels, ranch classes- but won’t break any speed records while doing it
🍫 if Mr Big was a dog he’d be a Lab

If you have any questions or inquiries about either of them, feel free to comment, message, or come on out and give them a try!

Rave Post! The words I shared in yesterday’s post were related to by many that read them. Seems we’re all tired of this. So let’s change the script!
🔥Share with me an equine service provider (vet, farrier, dentist, trainer, tack supply company, photographer, hauler, boarding barn…) that you have personally used and loved! ⬇️ (if you’re a keener and are willing to also share the state or province they’re in to help others find them, you rock 🤘🏼)
And then save this post so you can come back when you’re looking for one!
I’d also encourage you to go leave a review on their business page if you haven’t already! Promise it will make their day.
I’ll go first!

Lately it seems like once or twice a day I come across some major drama in my feed regarding professional services in this industry.
“The vet misdiagnosed” everyone deserves to know.
“The saddle maker was late getting me my order” buyer beware.
“This hauler had a horse die on their trailer” cancel them.
“The breeding specialist had a mix up” spread the word.
“Look at the condition my horse came in from the trainer, time to lawyer up” when the horse actually just looks fit and in shape instead of one bite away from founder and a heart attack.
Quite honestly, it’s exhausting and depressing.
***Let me be clear. I do not necessarily agree with how these situations were handled by the professional service providers. However, no one is perfect. And both sides of the story are never shared.
If it’s so easy, do it yourself. And pretty soon you probably will have to - because there will be no one willing to work in the horse industry anymore with the direction it’s going.
I have a LONG list of clients, businesses, and equine service providers that I wouldn’t touch with a 10’ pole, I could share lengthy stories about, and provide a mile long list of receipts.
If you ask me my opinion, I will give it with brutal honestly. But this public shaming and cancel culture is embarrassing to the industry and everyone really needs to grow up.
Sh*t happens. Resolve it the best you can. Learn from the mistakes. Form your own opinions. And then move on.
If you have time to wallow in the drama, you don’t have enough horses to ride.
Sincerely,
Had Enough Of This Industry Drama
