We sure love our oldest lesson horses around here! They have their own personalities, can be “old-man” grouchy and cranky, but are still faithful and true to their jobs. If you get a chance to ride one of these horses, give them an extra scratch and run down. They’ve earned it!

“Wisdom is found with the elderly, and understanding comes with long life. ”

Guarding Your Mind in a Season of Fear

Savannah • Blue Thunder • Faith Over Fear

There’s a lot of heaviness in our industry right now. The EHM outbreak has everyone on edge, and it’s easy to let fear take the wheel. It’s invisible, unpredictable, and potentially lethal—and that shakes even the strongest of horsemen.

But in the middle of all of that, I watched something this week that reminded me just how powerful our minds—and our faith—really are.

Savannah got her Adios NFR shirt in the mail and immediately packed it for her trip to Matt’s. And as I watched her ride her unicorn in that shirt, I was reminded of something deep and true:

✨ Your mind has the power to shape your reality.

Here is a kid riding a c**t she manifested, wearing a shirt from a team—Adios and Tricia—who did the exact same thing.
Two unicorn teams. Two dreams.
One message:

You can achieve absolutely anything you set your mind to.

Does that mean it won’t be hard?
❌ No.
Does that mean it won’t be scary?
❌ Nope.
Does that mean you won’t have to step outside your comfort zone?
❌ Constantly.
Will people judge you?
✔️ Absolutely.
Will you doubt yourself at times?
✔️ 100%.

But here’s the deal…

You get to choose your perspective. Every single day.

You can train your mind to recognize the good—even in a season that feels overwhelming.
You can choose gratitude for the twisting, winding road.
Or you can choose to throw your sucker in the dirt.

The one thing Savannah has always been incredibly good at?

Trusting that God has a plan. Always.

Even when it hurts.
Even when it sucks.
Even when there’s no light at the end of the tunnel.

This outbreak is terrifying because it’s invisible and lethal.
But do you know what else is invisible and lethal?

Satan.

Guard your heart.

Guard your mind.
Guard your spirit.

Be careful what you scroll.
Be careful what you read.
Be careful what you listen to.
Be careful who you allow to influence your peace.

Jesus gave us complex, powerful minds to dream, to grow, to build, and to succeed—but He also warns us against letting the enemy have a seat at our table.

So in this season of uncertainty, let Savannah and Blue Thunder be your reminder:

Train your mind to see the good.

Trust God with the unknown.
And keep moving forward—even when the road is dark.

A clear breakdown for horse boarding. We love our ranch team and we love those who entrust their horses to our care!

“Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭3‬:‭17‬ ‭CSB‬‬

Ba****ck riding brings such a sense of freedom, but what makes it even better is that joy that comes from deep within knowing that your true freedom is in Christ! So thankful for these young ladies who know where their source of freedom comes from. JOY = Jesus, Oh Yeah!
