Raise your hand if you’re as excited as I am about seeing all our @thedxranch babies? . Two of my mares will be having theirs sometime between May 3 and May 18. The others will be about a month behind. . It’ll be like Christmas all over again! . #ranchlife #2024foals #gimmeallthebabyhorses #thedxranch (at Ducheneaux Quarter Horses) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoXE28tu3Ho/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“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=

Allow me to reintroduce myself… my name is…. My name is…. My name is… Jenn. . I’m a writer, photographer, horse trainer and barrel racer. . I live on a ranch in South Dakota. . I like red horses, brown horses, oh heck gimme all the horses! . I train horses as @outsidetheturn here @thedxranch. . If you’d have told me as a little girl I’d get to do this, I’d have laughed at you. . But here I am living the dream! What is something fun about you? . #thesdcowgirl #funfacts #cowgirl #scrlgallery #selfie #ihateselfies (at The DX Ranch) https://www.instagram.com/p/CncRTPnufYa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Life is as full opportunity as we choose to see it. . We can either sit back on our heels and let life happen to us or we can be ahead of the situation and make the most of it. . My first run on the year didn’t go well on Cosmo. Wasn’t what I wanted for us. I made mistakes. But instead of being cranky about them, I’ll use the experience as a tool to help me get better — which will in turn help her get better. . I’m making the most of the opportunity given to me: and in turn that should create more opportunities. . Will you make the choice to take the chance and do the work? . #findtheopportunity #takechances #snowyhorses #thedxranch #winterdays #takelifefurther (at Ducheneaux Quarter Horses) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaXtNhnOjbe/?utm_medium=tumblr

This is an old photo but it’s one of my faves to be sure. And because South Dakota greeted us with about 10 inches of the white stuff when we arrived back in state from Vegas, I figured it was fitting to share it again! . Are you going to have a white Christmas where you are? . I’m still hoping we do! #snow #ranchlife #whitechristmas #winter #snowyhorses #westernphotography #thedxranch (at The DX Ranch) https://www.instagram.com/thesdcowgirl/p/CXWjS-0OH6-/?utm_medium=tumblr

So…something kinda cool happened. I had to keep it a secret. It’s been hard! This cover has been on my bucket list for a while! Now, I can check it off the list! Pictured: some of our fluffy quarter horses! And yes, I traipse through blizzards and epic cold to get these images because they’re my favorite!

I’ve had a tragic case of writers block the past couple months. I have a lot on my mind, but I’m failing miserably at getting these thoughts to make coherent sense on paper. . So. Help a sister out — what would you want to know about ranching? My life,? My goals? Horses? Where I live? My life? Let’s do a little brainstorming together! . Can you spur me on to creativity, friends? . #writersblock #mystruggleisreal #justridehorses #highkeyimage #horsesofinsta #thedxranch #sdc_highkey (at Ducheneaux Quarter Horses) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZsw5ubr4co/?utm_medium=tumblr

It’s the weekend! Who has fun plans? Does it involve sunshine? Warm air? . I froze my ass off doing chores this morning. It’s cloudy and we have snow in the forecast tonight. . Took me 2 hours to thaw out after coming inside! .
