Unless you have used my services personally on your own livestock or you, you have no right to an opinion or to say foul words about me. Horse world may be small, but it goes both ways. I hear what you say about me although you have never hired me to work on your livestock or you. 😉🩵
Funny thing about the horse world…
Everyone knows everyone.
Or at least, they think they do.
Names get passed around like halters — worn, stretched, and never quite fit right.
Stories travel faster than trailers on the highway, and somehow by the time they reach the next town, they’ve grown legs and a personality all their own.
People will swear they know your business, your horses, your past, your mistakes but they’ve never mucked a stall beside you at 2 a.m., never seen the scars under the boots, never watched you doctor one until sunrise because you couldn’t sleep until they were okay.
It’s wild, isn’t it?
How in a world built on “connections,” so few are actually real.
How you can walk into a sale barn, a show, a clinic and everyone knows your name,
but almost nobody knows your story.
So you learn to move quiet.
To let the whispers do what whispers do.
Because the people who really know you?
They don’t need proof, or screenshots, or rumors.
They’ve seen the way you care, the way you work, the way you show up for the horses, not the headlines.
At the end of the day, this world is small.
But the truth?
Even smaller.
