Location: DUMPING CATS AND PIGS IN TEXAS :) | I think a lot of times, we are our own worst enemy. I know that I have been mine. When you decide that you are tired of being in a certain mind set and try to make changes, it really starts making a difference. Because of BHW, I have been able to surrond myself with great friends that encourage me and send me cheesy notes telling me I can do it lol. It has made a difference in my life. And, believe me, I started slow. Just fixing one little thing at a time. Something simple as looking in the mirror every morning and saying one thing positive about myself like, you are smart or you deserve to be happy. I even wrote things on my mirror in the bathroom.
I'm just rambling lol. You get the idea. Just don't set such strict limitations on yourself. Ease up. You can do anything you set your mind to. | |

| I know I didn't see the original post but I have gathered enough to see whats going on.
There's this girl I know, she didn't have a lot of positive in her life, and at one point when things got bad she wanted out. She didn't go through with her plans, she just did away with those negative people, even if that was her own family. She had to make her own horses, and studied hard about how to be the best rider. She didn't have anyone to "train" her, but God gave her good horses to teach her along the way. Tragedy happen to the first horse she raised, and was winning Texas Circuit Rodeos, then one summer, that horse fell victim of west nile. She struggled, but finally was blessed with two nice finished horses, one registered, one grade.. Those horses along with hard work got her a rodeo scholarship..... Then what happened, some more bad, a wreck with one horse, then a wreck by herself.... lost the scholarship cause no horse to ride at that level anymore... So she sat down and said what are your goals? To not only win, but to be the best on the pro circuit, and produce great horses. So she decided to sell the one horse she still could compete on and bought a young stallion, who wasn't trained, heck wasn't even broke, but said I have to finish college first. So she trained for 3 years this stallion who was a 14.2 little guy, he had heart,,mind, ability, conformation, but he's bloodlines were good typical cow lines every QH has. Alot of the greats off the papers or goes back to... Then she finished college got a job, and started hauling him, he got hurt, a couple times, playing in the pasture..... So finally two years, a total of 5 years she is finally competing, foals are on the ground, and she is building a broodmare band up. Her stallion is doing terrific handle everything she throws at him like he has seen it 1,000 times. The best horse she has ever swung her leg around...
Yes this is my story, I had to work my tail off, and persevere through a lot. I believe that God allows things to happen for a reason when it is the time for it to happen. Now, you can afford the horse you want, and guess what he does't have to have those "lines",.... here's a little secret the horse makes the bloodlines, the bloodlines don't make the horse. I am with y'all on the prices of breeding that's where I don't want to ever charge ridiculous amounts for breeding, even when we win the NFR one day. I know there are mares out there who are built right and proven, that are not Own Daughters of , that will make a great cross.
Everyday a champion is born, heck it could be the guy next's door trail riding horse, or an oopsiedaisey that someone wants to get rid of. The point is stay positive, set goals, work hard, and COWGIRL UP!

Isn't this the truth. My biggest fault is I want everything now ... Kinda impatient when I know what I want. I can be patient and I know I shouldn't jump on something but it's really hard. Baby steps , Rome wasn't built in a day. If you want something find a way even if it takes a few years. It makes it 10 times better when you get it too!!! | |

Location: NE Texas | First of all, LRQHS, i'm so proud of you and so proud to call you my friend! There is big success on it's way for your program through the colts you're raising!
Iwish, happiness is a choice and it's one that we all have to sit down with ourselves and say, I CHOOSE to be happy, I CHOOSE to believe in myself, I CHOOSE to set goals and work towards them. I'm a firm believer in setting goals and working towards them, and it's important to set both short term and long term goals....stair steps if you will.....it's your personal road map to success. A short term goal can be as simple a task as getting up every morning and showering, or going out and brushing your horse every day, or even simply saying something nice to someone. It's important to start goal making at the ground floor. Short term goals need to be attainable, but they need to be stair steps to working toward achieving your long term goals. What is the harm in believing in yourself and choosing to see the positive in things as opposed to the negative. The only thing you're lacking, Iwish, is a change in mindset and that is very attainable!
Success can absolutely be attained without a dash ta this or frenchmans that or streak of this. I don't have any of those in my barn, and honestly I don't want any. I have owned a Dash Ta Fame....two actually...i've had an own son and an own daughter. I've also had an own daughter of Frenchmans Guy. All three were nice horses, but what I found for myself with those kind of prospects and with that kind of money invested was that I put even more pressure on myself for them to make top notch horses....I found myself being my own worst enemy because of the pressure I put on myself to protect my investment and eventually make a profit and it wasn't enjoyable for me....I found my expectations for those horses being higher and if they didn't turn out to be world class, then the disappointment was even greater.
What works better for me is finding nicely bred prospects that are by up and coming stallions that are sons of daughters of great horses. They are more affordable and I have found that i'm able to take the pressure off of myself and my colts. Those that don't make world class horses still make nice horses for people wanting 2D -3D horses, and there is still some profit in my original investment. :)
I hope that you can find your happiness and can make the choice toward having a positive attitude. It really is just a choice. There are alot of people on this board who are great motivators, great friends, and overall great people. None of us are ca-billionaires that I know of. :)
Great luck to you, and I hope you will find someone to help you on this journey. It sounds like you're young and have alot of learning and living to do....trust me that you will get there if you set your goals where they are attainable and stair step them toward your ultimate goal. Along the way your ultimate goal may change, and that is ok! The journey is the best part of the ride....not the destination. I hope you can learn to enjoy the journey and as LRQHS said, SQUEEZE THE JUICE!!!!

The Man In The Glass
Peter Dale Wimbrow Sr.
When you get what you want in your struggle for self
And the world makes you king for a day
Just go to the mirror and look at yourself
And see what that man has to say.
For it isn’t your father, or mother, or wife
Whose judgment upon you must pass
The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life
Is the one staring back from the glass.
He’s the fellow to please – never mind all the rest
For he’s with you, clear to the end
And you’ve passed your most difficult, dangerous test
If the man in the glass is your friend.
You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years
And get pats on the back as you pass
But your final reward will be heartache and tears
If you’ve cheated the man in the glass.
