Most horse people hate seeing a pasture like this.

Mud. Standing water. Dirt EVERYWHERE. A whole lot of mess and a whole lot of hazards.

HOWEVER…

When it’s 90+ degrees, the UV is high, and that cloudy forecast ain’t really clouding… I LOVE seeing the mud and the flood. šŸ˜‚

Because that means our herd has been taking full advantage of the thirty million sprinklers, hoses, water stations, the pond, and every other opportunity we’ve given them to cool off. They’ve been soaking their feet, standing in water, rolling in mud, and doing whatever they need to do to get through this heat.

And man… this heat has been SCARY, to say the least.

Between trying to get two geldings to figure out how to coexist, keeping the old ladies from overheating, keeping the unproblematic gelding happy without a million and one flies pestering him, and of course every horse owner’s biggest fear -keeping colic away- there’s been a LOT to watch.

But there are little things that make all of it worth it.

Like watching Fancy kick up dust.

I tell you what… that was truly a sight for sore eyes.

Everyone was moving, and SHE WAS LEADING Y’ALL.

This mare is 30+ years old. THIRTY. PLUS. That’s beyond senior in horse years. And yet there she was, moving with the herd like she owned the place.

And watching her go?

Ugh. 🄹

In a weird way, I’m actually grateful I didn’t pick up my camera to record it. I just stood there and savored it.

…But also, it sucks for y’all because you don’t get to see how beautiful it looked. šŸ˜‚

I tell you what, though - I am VERY grateful to be out here in the country.

Because if I lived somewhere where I had to pay for all the water we’ve used in the last three days alone, I might be filing for bankruptcy. šŸ˜‚

But the horses are happy.

They’re dirty as all get out from dirt baths five minutes after getting hosed off.

They’re standing in the shade.

They’re drinking.

They’re cooling their feet in the pond.

And as the sun goes down and that shade starts covering more and more of the pasture, this nighttime routine has become absolute heaven.

So yeah…

Give me the mud. Give me the flooded spots. Give me the dirt-covered horses.

If it means they’re cool, comfortable, hydrated, and happy through this heat?

I’ll take the mess. ā¤ļø

One year.

A whole damn year without Abbigail.

Four days before we lost her, we were talking about how well she was doing. We really thought we had more time. We weren’t prepared. Truthfully, I don’t think anyone ever is.

Making the decision to let her go is still the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make. Loving them means knowing when to stop fighting for yourself and start fighting for them. That doesn’t make it hurt any less.

I’ll forever be grateful for the hands that helped lay her down easy. In the middle of one of the worst days of our lives, they gave her the dignity and peace she deserved. I’ll never forget that.

The day before and the day we let her go, the yellow butterflies were everywhere. Not one or two. They damn near hovered over her all day. I’ve never forgotten that. Ever since then, every time a yellow butterfly finds me around the barn, I can’t help but smile and think she’s stopping by to check on us. Call it coincidence if you want- I don’t. I’ll always believe that’s Abbi saying hello.

She’s missed more than words can explain. I still catch myself looking for her in the pasture or expecting to see her standing in the trees. And I know her girls have felt it too. Some horses leave a hole that never really gets filled.

Miss you every damn day, Abbi. Thank you for trusting us with your life, for teaching us so much, and for letting us love you until the very end.

Keep sending the butterflies. We’ll keep looking for them. šŸ¤šŸ¦‹

Life’s been loud as ever lately, so Outlaw Ridge has been a little quieter online.

If you’ve been around here for a while, you’ve probably noticed fewer posts, slower replies, and me being a little less visible. That’s not from lack of care. It’s from balancing a full-time dispatch job, full-time with the barn, and the rest of life without running myself into the ground trying to keep up appearances online.

Truthfully, this season has forced me to get real clear about what I want Outlaw Ridge to be - and what I don’t.

I’m not interested in building a barn that’s loud, overcrowded, chaotic, or full just for the sake of saying it’s full. I’m not interested in chasing numbers, packing the schedule, or stretching myself so thin that the horses, the clients, and the quality of care all get the leftovers.

I’d rather build this place slower and build it right.

That means I’ve been doing a lot behind the scenes: tightening up lessons, refining board and lease expectations, protecting my time better, and being a hell of a lot pickier about what - and who - gets access to this space.

Because peace matters here. So do boundaries. So does the environment these horses live in and the kind of people standing in it.

My full-time job has sharpened that in a big way. It’s taught me how much noise is unnecessary, how fast burnout creeps in when you don’t protect your peace, and how important it is to stop treating every little thing like it’s a five-alarm fire. Not everything needs my energy. Not everything gets access. And not everything is worth disrupting a good thing over.

So moving forward, Outlaw Ridge is staying intentionally small and intentionally selective.

Right now availability is limited to:

• 2 boarding spots
• 1–2 lease opportunities
• 3 lesson spots

And yes, that’s on purpose.

I want a quieter barn. A better one. A place for good horses, practical horsemanship, solid people, and a slower kind of growth that actually lasts. More retirement, more trail, more western foundation, more intention - and a whole lot less chaos and bu****it.

If you’ve stuck around while things have been quieter, I appreciate it. Truly. And if you’re new here, welcome. Just know this place is being built with a lot of thought behind it, and I’m done rushing it just to make it look successful from the outside.

Good horses aren’t built in one ride. Good barns aren’t either.
