The Best Never Rest

What get's you fired up? Where does your passion come from? What makes life interesting? My entire life I have grown up riding horses, living on a ranch and rodeoing, so naturally horses are my passion. I am inspired by "handy" people and great horses. And when I refer to handy people I am not talking about the ones that are blowing up your Facebook newsfeed. I'm talking about the ones that did enough winning in their day that they didn't have to brag about it. They let their winning speak for themselves.



We can all be inspired by ones that were different or the ones that lead interesting lives. Growing up, I had many opportunities to learn from some truly great horsemen and women. True "hands" fascinate me. The ones that have had to make their own horses, the ones that put the blood, sweat and tears into making a horse into a true winner. My inspiration comes from the ‘rags to riches’ stories or the true perseverance stories about the trainers never got defeated and never let their emotions dictate their training capabilities. I am motivated by the ones that came before us. Let's face it, they were tougher than we are. Life was harder back then. We could all learn something from their stories.


I will be quite honest here. I don't even follow a single blog. But I'm working on changing that! I love to read stories about fascinating people. This blog will cover a variety of areas and storylines. But I will warn you,  I have a full time job and am still raising a child (a.k.a. the guy I married) so, trust me, I don't have all day to sit down at my computer and write whatever comes to mind, but I will try not to neglect this blog :) I shall leave you with a quote that we should all remember on a daily basis:

THE BEST NEVER REST.
