“Stop showing up for people who have no interest in your presence. I know your instinct is to do everything to earn the appreciation of those around you, but it's a boost that steals your time, energy, mental and physical health.” - Anthony Hopkins - . It’s true. I’ve wasted a lot of time trying to be there and please people who have never wanted the best for me. They aren’t supportive and in fact are the complete opposite. . Stay away from them. Don’t give them your energy. Give your energy to the good, the positive, those people and circumstances that will make you better. . The rest is white noise and it’s perfectly acceptable to ignore it. #thedxranch #horses #horsesofinstagram #aqha #aqhaproud #youholdmyheart #equine #equineart #photography #ranchlife #ag #photooftheday #igers #SDAGProud #instagood #instahorses_post #westernphotography #westernphoto #westernart #equinephotography #equinephotos #ig_equine #rurallifestyle #cowgirllifestyle (at Ducheneaux Quarter Horses) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgSQsOSPhJf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

After being injured, this time I have a level of fear I need to work to get past. This is my trusty reliable mare who carries me through and over anything. She’s not the one who bucked me off but she is the one who picks up the pieces. I love her 🥰

This is the best horse I’ve ever had in my life. We’ve been together for 17 years, and today, she is 20!
Happy birthday, bestie! Love you, Velvet!!

I bought a horse! He’s a little quarter horse gelding and his name is Toulouse.(formerly Ol’ Red) He was rescued from the kill pen by a rescue.We don’t know where he came from or what he did in his past life but he’s such a good boy! He neck reigns and his turns are quick! He nearly bends in half.He comes home tomorrow! We’re going to do so well in the next barrel racing season! I’m so excited but also nervous.I’m responsible for a whole two animals now!!
