Difficult roads lead to beautiful destinations. . . . My road hasn’t always been easy: in fact, if you listened to my podcast you would know that I’ve learned a lot of lessons the hard way. . . . I still occasionally take the hard road, as I learn to balance what’s right for my horses with my desire to compete (and ultimately win). . . . See, the horse, he doesn’t give two shits about winning or losing. He wants a partner, someone he can trust, to do right by him. My journey has led me to a place where I think I’ve finally learned to balance that. It’s been a long, hard road, but so worth it. . . . Clearly, this weather has me longing for Spring, sunshine, warmer temperatures and the desire to go down the road once again, chasing my dream. . . . Are you in full on pursuit mode or in a holding pattern like me? #sdc_negativespace #winterdreaming #hifromsd #highkey #thedxranch #horses #horsesofinstagram #aqha #aqhaproud #youholdmyheart #equine #equineart #photography #ranchlife #ag #photooftheday #igers #instagood #instahorses_post #westernphotography #westernphoto #westernart #equinephotography #equinephotos #ig_equine #snow #whiteout (at Ducheneaux Quarter Horses) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuUzrfogOCc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11m3be6pc131s
