Getting the job no one else wants: I'm a volunteer at a large well run and managed rescue stable just south of Denver, Colorado. I have the job of mending all the net feed sacks. It seems no one else likes the job, but I find it very relaxing and not as laborious as raking up muck in the pens and stalls. In the meantime, I get to be around the horses and learn a lot from others working there. I'm working on establishing a friendship with two donkeys.
I truly never thought you couldn't impress me more. Oh, wow, that was nice to watch. You Clever Cowgirl! Bravo you! Thank you for sharing your story. Beautifully done - looks professional - all around. Your narration is so easy to listen to, and I can relate to your younger self. Well done. I'll watch it again. You are inspiring. Ok, I'll stop. 😊
Your journey is very similar to my own in that I desired a horse from a very early age and was relentless in my dream and pursuit of being around them. I begged my parents at age 9 for a pony because I learned of one for “only” $300. This was 1970 and I’m sure $300 was akin to a thousand or so today. Of course they said no way. My parents divorced two years later and we moved from Oklahoma to Michigan where I met a girl with a Welsh pony. I started going to her barn and the owners took a liking to me. They told my Mom and Dad I had a natural gift with the animals and they wanted me to show their ponies for them. I got to train my own pony all by myself at 11 years old and traveled with them for about two years showing the fancy Welsh ponies- driving them and riding English saddle seat and hunt seat. My parents heard of a POA that had put her owner in the hospital and so what did they buy me for $87? THAT pony🤠 I had her for 5 years and loved her so much. She taught me a lot and started my love for Appaloosa type horses. Anyway enough rambling. I think it’s cool how we all get our start but the ones who aren’t just handed everything seem to be the ones who stick it out for a lifetime. I still ride but we gave up showing after ranking top ten in the nation many times in western pleasure and now we trail ride mules! They are so docile and amazing animals that develop such an intense bond with their owner. Thank you for reading. God Bless you all. ❤
My 11 year old daughter had the biggest smile on her face as she watched this episode. She has the same “sickness” you do and spends many hours a day talking about, dreaming and learning about horses. This was so helpful! Thank you!
Hi, I just joined your channel and started watching it and I am so very impressed and amazed at the incredible woman that you are and what you are doing for the horses out there. You truly are a blessing to each and every one of them and you're so smart and knowledgeable. I hope you always stay with us and keep doing what you're doing to rescue these poor animals and take care of them and bring them back to health as beautiful as you've been doing. Thank you for doing this. You are a very amazing woman
You, madam, are a true treasure. Who else has EVER thought to show the various and sometimes hidden ways to get involved in jobs working with horses? Only you! Bravo!!
OMG! What a Fascinating Life Journey. I'm an old lady far beyond any thought of launching a new life path, but I know there are young people out there and maybe not so young who will learn your story and feel heartened and encouraged to fulfill their horse dreams just as you have. Thank you so much for sharing with all of us as you continue your Life's Work.
I have a similar illness with smaller domesticated pets such as canines and felines. I recently discovered a YT creator called Rocky Tanaka, who, along with the wondrous CC, this gray-haired 62 yr old has a fair amount of hope for the future! TY CC 🐎🌹💕
I started out in horse 4H a long time ago. I was lucky that I had an uncle who wanted to buy a pony for his great nieces and nephews. She was large enough so that my mother and aunt could ride her also. Because I was the oldest, I was the first put in charge and joined 4H so that we could find out what to do. I made life long friends, learned how to ride and care for my pony, how to manage my time and deal with responsibilities, and had a resource for any questions that came up…and there were many. And all for free. Of course I eventually outgrew my pony and went on to have two Morgans purchased for me. Yes, I was very fortunate, but I knew it, and went on to become a 4H leader myself. I’m so impressed by horse lovers like you who take on lifelong struggles and sacrifices in order to keep close to the horse world that they love.
I was in 4H too. Just not in the horse interest world. I had the best time of my life while in the program I was in. I have never been privileged to have a horse though I love them. My family lived in town and there were no boarding stables around. My parents told me I could not have a horse bc they were too expensive to keep. All I could ever do is dream.
The great thing about 4-H, was that if you lived way out in the sticks, with no way to get to meetings, you could do 4-H independently. That's what I did. Later I was in FFA in high school. Those two groups were bright spots at a not very happy time of my life.
I loved the observation about “horse crazy” starting at 4 or 5. Right on! And it never goes away. I had to wait until I moved to Colorado to get my first horse. Took a bit of time off with kid raising then bought my second horse. That was 1982 and have had horses up to my last horse age 22. Since I’m 83, I have to outlive her so she’s my last. Big smile on my face for sure 😊
I'm almost 70 years old and have always had the horse fever but haven't had the pleasure or finances to own. There weren't any programs in the city I grew up in. It's wonderful that you were able to fulfill your dream.
Wonderful video! I too came down with the horse virus. I remember my father’s words, “It’s not the initial cost, it’s the upkeep.” Nevertheless, I got a horse at the age of 13. Later on in my life, I bought a Tennessee Walker. That led to an entirely new vocation. Owning horses is the best thing for the soul, and as Winston Churchill said, “No hour of life is lost that is spent in the saddle.”
Well done ... In the Netherlands ...not a chance . I can buy a horse but no place to turn it out ... I hated the riding school with boarding that offered stalls only . The horses only got out to work . But meaby ...one time ...if I win the lottery and can buy some field ... For the moment the horse will be in my dreams only ... I'm Veternarian assistent and I do own , or are owned by cats ...
Lifelong addiction for sure! Leased other people’s horses mostly and just trail rode. Now at the ripe old age of 69, I am spending my children’s inheritance on lessons at a hunter-jumper barn. 😊
Great story and very relatable! My Dad finally gave in to his 13 yr old horse crazy daughter(hoping all the hard work would scare me off) 😂 and ever since I could work a real job I’ve kept horses in my life. I’ve owned two of my own businesses, and definitely worked a lot of jobs that I didn’t like. But you gotta do what it takes to own horses. 🙂 I always told myself I would keep my sweet Paint mare until the day she died; the one exception was if I was unable to care for her. Being newly married with some unexpected health issues made me realize that this time, it was out of my hands. I couldn’t give her the time and care she needed and found her a wonderful home where she could have all that. Absolutely the hardest decision of my life, but I wanted the best for her, even if that meant she couldn’t be with me. ❤️ I have no doubt that one day I’ll have horses again; us horse crazy people can’t be separated from them for very long!
You have led a very interesting life. I really enjoyed hearing it. Me? I took the easy way out. I married a cowboy. So there is another way, girls, find a single rancher and use your skills!❤
Loved hearing your story! You’ve done so much! ❤ As a horse crazy kid with no money, I also ended up riding the so called “problem horses” other people owned. I could afford lessons but not the horse. But the difficult horses were usually completely free to ride. Owners were happy to have someone doing the work for free. And they weren’t really “problem horses”. They never are. Those horses were the best teachers too! 😊
I remember the very first problem horse I ever rode. I was tickled pink when the gut told me I could ride him all I wanted! I find it extremely boring now to ride "regular" horses
Same here.... I started riding lessons at age 8 . My parents got divorced and there was no money ....at that time there were a lot of farms around and many problem horses and ponies . They were not a problem , but misunderstood mostly . Best days of my life
Me too! I haven't been on a horse since my teens but I preferred the ones that tried to pull tricks on you and so on. One, Lyndon, always bucked if there were horses behind so had to go last but I really liked Lyndon. Joel would suddenly come to a stop and refuse to move just to see what you did. Devil sometimes stubbornly went his own way, also with regard to the other horses. (There also was one that went into the water and threatened to start rolling in it one summer day. 😂 I've forgotten who that was, though. Probably a horse I didn't know yet.) Sweet Doebe was like sitting in an an armchair, by contrast. Gosh, it's nice to remember. I'm 63 now, and smiling.
What a story.. i recognized so much from the time that i wanted in the horse business, working as a groom for jumping riders, always the dirty work, late hours, little pay, riding the young horses, working and living on horse schools, and finally gave up, i was so sad, and now years later, i bought a horse again two years ago with my teenage daughter, i feel like myself again. ❤
Even as a teen I made sure my horses came first always. I figured out at some point there would always be boys/men but great horses that suited ME were few and far between. Any men had to understand the horses came first. My husband was a horse lover and we rode many happy miles together.
I'm 55, I will never grow out of it. I have around 55 stuffies. From Unicorns, Pegasus, donkeys, and of course horses. I have around 15 polymer clay horses sculpted for me. She owes me 4 more and has disappeared. 😢 I have several "Breyer" type and models. I won't ever stop buying horse items!!! 🖤🩶🤍💜 💚💚💚💚💚
I am old now and have NEVER gotten over this illness. I regret that I cannot pursue my horse dreams. Your video has brought tears. God bless you and keep enjoying your beauties.
Awesome video! You have shown that we cannot always start at the top or right where we think we want to be. It does take time. Now, I wish they had a 4H for seniors!
You are a very special human being. Thank YOU for perservering through your challenges and your passion, humbleness, and positivity is contagious! Thank YOU♥
I love your story about your journey with horses began and grew. Hard work and dedication payed off. You get to save many horses, and you are an inspiration to your UA-cam followers. Thank you for sharing your story.
Yes! I got the horse bug around that age. My parents couldn't afford to buy a horse, but tried their best to get me treatment via riding lessons and Girl Scout camp.
Absolutely loved your story and determination! Fellow biochemistry major here - and yes, getting a job with "just" a science bachelor is tricky. I went on to more schooling, and then I had kids, so therefore never had the time to get back into riding. However, I have worked hard to make it possible for my kids to grow up with horses, and my son is on his path to being a horse trainer and he loves it. So my road was long and very different than yours, but I finally get to be around horses again thanks to my kids and their horses :-)
If you're looking for a Horse Science Technology program or similar for your son, I believe Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa still runs an Equine Studies program. It's a much more affordable option than a big university, and it's affiliated with the Iowa Equine Center, the biggest horse facility in Iowa.
Reading your story was inspiring to me as now as an elderly woman I can’t really start riding horses since everything is so different here in Japan. If I had stayed in the USA long ago and continued to ride horses on Sundays I may now be a cow woman with a ranch living my dream ❤
What a beautiful story.❤ Thank you for sharing it! This almost 70yo woman wished she could have seen this when I was younger. Although I've managed to keep myself in the horse world since 16yo,, except for 11yrs while having children. Then my last child, a daughter, when she turned 5yo, after attending a horse camp, brought me back into the horse world. I surely wasn't complaining.😊 A few yrs ago I took over the wild-caught Mustang mare I adopted as a 2yo old for her, when she fell out of love with horses at 20yo. Mustang Annie will be turning 18yo this summer. It was such a shame, because my daughter was such a natural. Even the natural horsemanship trainer we brought in that helped us tweak a couple things, who told us he rarely sees anyone who did this well with her training...asked my daughter on 2 occasions what was she going to do for a career. Yes, I learned natural horsemanship thru videos, then taught her, but she just had a way with horses, and a beautiful natural rider. Oh, well, I've learned we all have a journey to walk. It wasn't her journey, but mine will always be with horses.
When my daughter was in her teen I encouraged her to volunteer at the local Riding for the Disabled. This gave her the opportunity to work with the horses while helping others.
Thank you so much for sharing your story, which sounds to have been pretty tough, but also beautiful. You certainly seem to be exactly where you should be! Very best wishes… ❤
I absolutely love your attitude about all that you do and the disease that afflicts so many of us! I got infected as a 3 year old child at a church pony ride. The smell of the pony, the creak of the leather saddle and I was hooked. It took me 40 years to get my first horse but its an experience I wouldn't trade for all the money in the world.
I got my Lead Wrangler jobs through Coolworks!! I want my own mule . Sky Ranch Emigrant Valley is my next hope. I'm a great conversation piece..not many 60 year old wranglers out there!!
I found your channel recently. This is my favorite video so far! I grew up with 22 horses/ponies. My mother ran the equestrian 4 H program. Although I’ve not owned my own horse as an adult I’ve never been able to cure my disease 😊 watching your videos makes me feel like I’m a kid again taking care of our horses. Thank you
This was very informative and answered some of the many questions I had about you. I wish I had known all of this 50 years ago! So now I must live vicariously through you. Thanks
I grew up with horses. My Dad was a cowboy and I do not know how he got into horses, his family had no experience or expertise with equines. My parents met through horses (my Mom flirtingly said she had never ridden a horse. She never regretted that she met my Dad, but she was never a horse person). I was my father's child much to my Mom's chagrin. We were always "horse poor". We were lucky to have an acre and a third and at that time hay was inexpensive. So I had my own horse and Dad and I would go riding or annually work cattle on a friend's ranch. When I left home I couldn't have horses any more but horses will always be a part of my life. I'm getting older but still wish I had one or two in the back yard. The expense is what deters me.
What a great story! My first horse was an old mare with a huge knee in front. She was gentle and just what i needed at 10 years old. As I got older i found out about 4-H and wanted to join but my old mare wasnt appropriate so dad bought me a youger black, half standardbred gelding. I rode him awhile but then at age 15 dad bought me a registered Quarter Horse filly, a 2 year old. All this time i was in 4-H and loved it. I finished my 4-H eligibility with this mare but then became a 4-H leader for 10 years. Then i moved to Texas with my husband and older daughter and Dad brought my 2 horses down to live with me. I was into paint horses by then and bloodlines and breeding became my passion. We raised a lot of very nice Paints over the years and I showed the babies in futurities, both Paint Horse futurities and Pinto. I won a good number of them, it was fun and a dream come true. Sold all the horses though in 2013 when I retired so we could travel. Never got another horse. But i have lots of good memories!
I am SOOOOO glad you made this video!!! You answered so many questions that have been rumbling around in my head. I am very surprised at the number of jobs you have held and impressed with the way you went about working within your situation to accomplish your goals!!! Great thinking, Girl!!! Again, love your videos and love watching all you do! HAPPY TRAILS!!! ❤❤❤
A 103 year lady doctor was asked what enabled her to live so long and be so successful in her career. She said, follow your 'happy' and you'll know. I'm so glad you found your happy. Wishing you and yours (human, kits, pups and equines) lot's of 'happy'.
…I’m looking forward to hearing more details about your background experience with your journey with horses and becoming the churro indulging beautiful woman that you have become. ☺️🌷👱🏻♀️🌾🐴🌸
My granddaughter is 7 and is taking an hour riding class. It started at 5. She started wanting toy horses. No one in our circle of friends and family even has a horse. Now all she wants is a horse.
I started asking at 2, started riding lessons at 7 (youngest they allowed) and soon cleaned stalls and later helped by teaching younger riders their 1 hour “theory “ classes (they didn’t allow just the riding lesson, there was also a 1 hour class that taught kids horsemanship which encompasses all aspects of horse care besides riding). I am eternally grateful to my father for paying for lessons and driving me an hour each way to get there on the weekend. I never lost the horse fever but due to money and poor health there have been some years away. I recently bought another horse. You never forget
@@lynnegee6814 sadly it doesn’t. This summer the boarding stable where I keep my horse made an inexplicable mistake and fed my horse the wrong feed for 5 days. This led to laminitis, the founder so she is no longer sound. She is only 10. Heartbroken 💔
Thank you! This video was amazing. I suffered from the horse bug as a child. Collecting horse statues was all I could do until my parents bought my first horse. Without training a new rider is a mistake. Watching your channel has finally answered the puzzle why Arab kept neighing when the neighbors' goat adopted him. As a herd animal, the cattle didn't cut it. Keep going!
I'm a big fan of your videos and have seen them all. I felt compelled to tell you what an amazing human being you are. What a fascinating story you have. I don't believe that I've ever known anyone quite as capable and as accomplished. And not only that but you possess intelligence and the ability to work hard for what you want. I especially envy how carefully thought-out and considered each of your life's decisions have been. What an incredible gift you have. I've always loved horses but come from a very non-horsey family so I never pursued it. I've also been in love with Montana my whole life. I drove out there on a trip to see it for myself and left a piece of my heart a few years ago. You've taught me so much about horses...thank you for that. I think you have a lovely life, doing exactly what you want to do and what you're gifted in. Not to mention helping so many beautiful horses that need you. Have you ever considered writing a book about your experiences? I know that I would certainly read it! I've never written a fan girl letter before and I hope that I don't sound like a creep. Looking forward to the next video! You have a fan for life in Tennessee.
I worked my butt off trying to keep competing horses until I burned out and focused on career. Then all kinds of people started asking me to work with their horses. I was too into my career then. Life is strange. I had a friend who went to equestrian uni then became a lawyer. It is so hard if you don't have land of your own.
Great video explaining your journey to current day. BUT you forgot to include your love story with your husband, I presume around the time you lived out of your truck and in the small camper. LOVE the camper idea and one day not too long ago, I thought I'd be living out of my car, but Thank God above He had a better idea for me. God Bless!! I can barely care for myself and have no ground for horses, but perhaps in my next life. Love you dear hard working youngster, bet your work ethic rubbed off from your parents? I LOVE your Montana "accent" which articulates every letter of the word, clear and concise so I never need subtitles to understand what you're saying! Sending PRAYERS that your finally find a ranch for yourself and hubby, and all your wonderful animals.
Love the picture of you and Frisco Bill! I got this bug when I was about 6 or 7. My grandpa had a big farm with beef cattle but he would not get me a horse because he didn't believe in paying to feed what he considered a useless animal. He did however introduce me to one of the neighboring farm owners that was getting older and having trouble caring for but loved his horse so much he couldn't part with him. He was a 3 year old named Danny. 15.3 hand quarterhorse arabian mix that had a dirty blond mane and tail and was the color of a shiny new copper penny. I was too small for a regular saddle so he got me a used western style pony saddle that he adjusted to fit this big guy. He was only green broke so we learned everything together under his expert instruction. For the next 10 years every day rain, shine or snow I walked the half mile to his farm and took care Danny. He had a huge trophy case with all the awards from shows he'd won with his horses over the years. I was never paid in money but I learned invaluable lessons in caring for horses and horsemanship. The owner finally got too old and had to sell his farm but we found a great home for the horse. If you want a horse but can't afford one then where there is a will there is always a way.
I was enthralled with your story which in a way had a happy ending for the horse you rode for ten years that finally had to go to another place but it was a great place for the special horse… For some reason this struck a chord in me and I just wanted to say thank you for sharing ❤
Illustrates the point that many careers are not exactly what we have planned. I think we each learn as we progress through each job and yes there is some scar tissue for some of us. But keep moving forward and being open to make changes and sometimes accepting good advice. Book learning is good but not always the right ticket. You seem to have done well and I think part of this is keeping to aspire to find the right path and a "best" job. Very good video!
Absolutely loved this journey! I've had that disease for many decades😂 I worked at a local lesson & show barn, since 10yo. Traded work for my lessons. Back then, parents encouraged responsibility & could trust the safety of their kid to the instructors. Now there are published legalities that severely restrict that kind of learning scenario. Parents must stay with their kid for the 1 hour lesson & then leave. Horsemanship & groundsmanship suffer. Wishing continued success in navigating your disease!
My horse story almost mirrors yours! I fell for horses at a young age. Was a 4h member, went to tech college, earned an associate degree in equine management. Worked on a thoroughbred broodmare farm very briefly, then a qh farm and lastly an Arabian show barn. None lasted very long for different reasons. Worked in a few factories, decided that's not what I want to do forever. Went back to tech college and became a nurse. Keep the awesome videos coming!
I gotta tell you - I'm a knarly ex construction contractor who never made it to peasant level with not a lot of patience - but you melt my heart. You followed your dreams and as a result Nigel & Skelator - to name just two - are lucky boys. Give Studman an extra scratch for me.
I worked cattle, herded cut hay, bailed, stacked and branded, vaccinated cattle. your stories and blogs make me smile. I am an animal lover that loved the ranch life. Yes beef cattle are for eating but the life and respect for the cattle and land with irrigation led me to find a great love of horses. I was so fortunate to find out they were all different and fun. One horse was a grand champion cutting horse that I had the fortune to ride while cutting calves from moms. All I had to do is stay on him because the horse knew the job. I am not a real cowboy but I've done all the work! I love your videos!
CC, I had 'the condition' BAD! I think one of my first memories was seeing a horse and wanting it. I've ridden horses all my life, but didn't own one until I was 42, when I could actually afford one. I love your story! It reminds me of mine. Every Christmas morning or birthday I prayed hard the night before that my dream would come true. I guess when you want something that badly you have to figure it out for yourself. Well done, CC! Please keep your videos coming!!🐎🤍🤗
Wonderful, me too I was hit by that virus very young. But a plant virus has infected my as well. Now I am a graduated biologist and professional gardener without a horse. But am planning to get my own land. Love and greetings from Germany. Am in tears seeing your beautiful place.
This was so interesting to hear your strides to get where you wanted to be . Congratulations on have the grit to keep going . Sounds like it was not very likely that you were going to succeed. But here you are , living your dream and teaching people about riding and training horses ! Thank you ! 🙂
Very clever! I love it. You have such an interesting story, and it explains your wealth of knowledge and experience. I'm sure this will be an inspiration to many young horse lovers.
What a great history lesson of how you came to be the CC. I think that it is great that you showed ways of being around horses that are free or takes minimal money. Volunteering your time to do jobs no one else wants can get you in to positions to learn a lot. Bravo
I'm 75, loved my kid years in 4-H. Horses and then another in homemaking. My friend was in cows...we lived our animals. Had to earn the money for the feed and tack; so a part time job was necessary from 13 on. We weren't like the city kids with parents who did everything for them. We had to ride to shows, no trailers...Horses are like dogs; they need attention and exercise. If you want them to be your friend; you'll have to spend time with them.
Thank you for telling your story. I have a huge respect of your work and how you live your dream. And I hope for you and your animal-wards it's not the end of the trail 🎉
PS I adore Nigel and love to see him What a transformation and how happy he must be in his old age....I do wish you had a couple of small donkeys----they are so in need and so kind and sweet [generally]. There may be some old grouchy donkeys too that have not gotten the love they deserve....
When I join for each, there is no way my family could afford a horse, and I lived in the city. The club was composed of country kids, but I borrowed my 4-H leaders horse, just as you did. It was great. One of the best experiences of my life
You are an amazing young lady, you have shown that anybody can follow their dream by perseverance and dedication to what they want to do in life. Love how you care and treat all your horses it shows that humans can learn a lot from you in how to treat each other, trust, compassion and kindness. Its amazing how animals respond the this and giveback 10fold. Will humans achieve this NO. Love your horses and you. The old Aussie Al..
My daughter and I were just talking about success earlier today - we each get to define that for ourselves. You are an inspiring example of someone who decides what she wants and makes it happen. ❤
I really like your videos. You are sharing your life in a way that we don't see anywhere else. I think you are full of courage and faith in yourself and it remind me to do the same. Thank you and keep doing what you do!
Getting the job no one else wants: I'm a volunteer at a large well run and managed rescue stable just south of Denver, Colorado. I have the job of mending all the net feed sacks. It seems no one else likes the job, but I find it very relaxing and not as laborious as raking up muck in the pens and stalls. In the meantime, I get to be around the horses and learn a lot from others working there. I'm working on establishing a friendship with two donkeys.
That actually sounds awesome! ❤
I truly never thought you couldn't impress me more.
Oh, wow, that was nice to watch. You Clever Cowgirl! Bravo you! Thank you for sharing your story. Beautifully done - looks professional - all around. Your narration is so easy to listen to, and I can relate to your younger self. Well done. I'll watch it again. You are inspiring. Ok, I'll stop. 😊
AMEN!@@SheilaHensley
Your journey is very similar to my own in that I desired a horse from a very early age and was relentless in my dream and pursuit of being around them. I begged my parents at age 9 for a pony because I learned of one for “only” $300. This was 1970 and I’m sure $300 was akin to a thousand or so today. Of course they said no way. My parents divorced two years later and we moved from Oklahoma to Michigan where I met a girl with a Welsh pony. I started going to her barn and the owners took a liking to me. They told my Mom and Dad I had a natural gift with the animals and they wanted me to show their ponies for them. I got to train my own pony all by myself at 11 years old and traveled with them for about two years showing the fancy Welsh ponies- driving them and riding English saddle seat and hunt seat. My parents heard of a POA that had put her owner in the hospital and so what did they buy me for $87? THAT pony🤠 I had her for 5 years and loved her so much.
She taught me a lot and started my love for Appaloosa type horses. Anyway enough rambling. I think it’s cool how we all get our start but the ones who aren’t just handed everything seem to be the ones who stick it out for a lifetime. I still ride but we gave up showing after ranking top ten in the nation many times in western pleasure and now we trail ride mules! They are so docile and amazing animals that develop such an intense bond with their owner. Thank you for reading. God Bless you all. ❤
I like your friends..
My 11 year old daughter had the biggest smile on her face as she watched this episode. She has the same “sickness” you do and spends many hours a day talking about, dreaming and learning about horses. This was so helpful! Thank you!
You are so welcome!
wishing your daughter a life full of joy and love with her horses
It's the "want pony" disease! Probably incurable.
Hi, I just joined your channel and started watching it and I am so very impressed and amazed at the incredible woman that you are and what you are doing for the horses out there. You truly are a blessing to each and every one of them and you're so smart and knowledgeable. I hope you always stay with us and keep doing what you're doing to rescue these poor animals and take care of them and bring them back to health as beautiful as you've been doing. Thank you for doing this. You are a very amazing woman
You, madam, are a true treasure. Who else has EVER thought to show the various and sometimes hidden ways to get involved in jobs working with horses? Only you! Bravo!!
OMG! What a Fascinating Life Journey. I'm an old lady far beyond any thought of launching a new life path, but I know there are young people out there and maybe not so young who will learn your story and feel heartened and encouraged to fulfill their horse dreams just as you have. Thank you so much for sharing with all of us as you continue your Life's Work.
I think this is a life story for anyone who chooses a life path in any field; not just in the field of horse interest.
I have a similar illness with smaller domesticated pets such as canines and felines. I recently discovered a YT creator called Rocky Tanaka, who, along with the wondrous CC, this gray-haired 62 yr old has a fair amount of hope for the future! TY CC 🐎🌹💕
Owning horses and caring for them is not for the faint of heart. My hat is off to you.
I’m glad you are born and do what you do. The world is a better place with you in it.
It sounds like the Clever Cowgirl has paid her dues. Persistence and hard work can do wonders.
I started out in horse 4H a long time ago. I was lucky that I had an uncle who wanted to buy a pony for his great nieces and nephews. She was large enough so that my mother and aunt could ride her also. Because I was the oldest, I was the first put in charge and joined 4H so that we could find out what to do. I made life long friends, learned how to ride and care for my pony, how to manage my time and deal with responsibilities, and had a resource for any questions that came up…and there were many. And all for free. Of course I eventually outgrew my pony and went on to have two Morgans purchased for me. Yes, I was very fortunate, but I knew it, and went on to become a 4H leader myself. I’m so impressed by horse lovers like you who take on lifelong struggles and sacrifices in order to keep close to the horse world that they love.
I was in 4H too. Just not in the horse interest world. I had the best time of my life while in the program I was in.
I have never been privileged to have a horse though I love them. My family lived in town and there were no boarding stables around. My parents told me I could not have a horse bc they were too expensive to keep. All I could ever do is dream.
The great thing about 4-H, was that if you lived way out in the sticks, with no way to get to meetings, you could do 4-H independently. That's what I did. Later I was in FFA in high school. Those two groups were bright spots at a not very happy time of my life.
I loved the observation about “horse crazy” starting at 4 or 5. Right on! And it never goes away. I had to wait until I moved to Colorado to get my first horse. Took a bit of time off with kid raising then bought my second horse. That was 1982 and have had horses up to my last horse age 22. Since I’m 83, I have to outlive her so she’s my last. Big smile on my face for sure 😊
You have to! I recognize that situation. 🤠
I'm almost 70 years old and have always had the horse fever but haven't had the pleasure or finances to own. There weren't any programs in the city I grew up in. It's wonderful that you were able to fulfill your dream.
Wonderful video! I too came down with the horse virus. I remember my father’s words, “It’s not the initial cost, it’s the upkeep.” Nevertheless, I got a horse at the age of 13. Later on in my life, I bought a Tennessee Walker. That led to an entirely new vocation. Owning horses is the best thing for the soul, and as Winston Churchill said, “No hour of life is lost that is spent in the saddle.”
Well done ...
In the Netherlands ...not a chance .
I can buy a horse but no place to turn it out ...
I hated the riding school with boarding that offered stalls only .
The horses only got out to work .
But meaby ...one time ...if I win the lottery and can buy some field ...
For the moment the horse will be in my dreams only ...
I'm Veternarian assistent and I do own , or are owned by cats ...
You’ve really worked hard to be around horses. Your story sounds very adventurous and a lot of hard work.
DESPERATELY wishing to own my first horse!!!!
Lifelong addiction for sure! Leased other people’s horses mostly and just trail rode. Now at the ripe old age of 69, I am spending my children’s inheritance on lessons at a hunter-jumper barn. 😊
I 100% support this!
That is the perfect way to spend those dollars! If I could still manage to sit a horse I would do the same! And I'm 69, too----just really beat up.
Good for you!!! Do what makes you happy and let the kids work for their money! Love that!!!
I'm 58! We're finally able to realize our dreams❤❤
Did you have a long break between riding? I gave it up 15+ years ago and have considered starting again. I'm right behind you in age.
I was raised on a horse ranch…it was glorious!
You are one determined young lady. What a great life story.
Great story and very relatable! My Dad finally gave in to his 13 yr old horse crazy daughter(hoping all the hard work would scare me off) 😂 and ever since I could work a real job I’ve kept horses in my life. I’ve owned two of my own businesses, and definitely worked a lot of jobs that I didn’t like. But you gotta do what it takes to own horses. 🙂 I always told myself I would keep my sweet Paint mare until the day she died; the one exception was if I was unable to care for her. Being newly married with some unexpected health issues made me realize that this time, it was out of my hands. I couldn’t give her the time and care she needed and found her a wonderful home where she could have all that. Absolutely the hardest decision of my life, but I wanted the best for her, even if that meant she couldn’t be with me. ❤️ I have no doubt that one day I’ll have horses again; us horse crazy people can’t be separated from them for very long!
Thank you for putting the welfare of your ❤horse before your own feelings, which I'm sure were really agonising. 👏🏻👏🏻
You have led a very interesting life. I really enjoyed hearing it. Me? I took the easy way out. I married a cowboy. So there is another way, girls, find a single rancher and use your skills!❤
You are indeed a clever Cowgirl. I love your horses. Many thanks and warm regards, Dave UK
Wonderful. I am glad you are doing what you love.
Loved hearing your story! You’ve done so much! ❤ As a horse crazy kid with no money, I also ended up riding the so called “problem horses” other people owned. I could afford lessons but not the horse. But the difficult horses were usually completely free to ride. Owners were happy to have someone doing the work for free. And they weren’t really “problem horses”. They never are. Those horses were the best teachers too! 😊
I remember the very first problem horse I ever rode. I was tickled pink when the gut told me I could ride him all I wanted! I find it extremely boring now to ride "regular" horses
Same here.... I started riding lessons at age 8 .
My parents got divorced and there was no money ....at that time there were a lot of farms around and many problem horses and ponies .
They were not a problem , but misunderstood mostly .
Best days of my life
Me too! I haven't been on a horse since my teens but I preferred the ones that tried to pull tricks on you and so on. One, Lyndon, always bucked if there were horses behind so had to go last but I really liked Lyndon. Joel would suddenly come to a stop and refuse to move just to see what you did. Devil sometimes stubbornly went his own way, also with regard to the other horses.
(There also was one that went into the water and threatened to start rolling in it one summer day. 😂 I've forgotten who that was, though. Probably a horse I didn't know yet.)
Sweet Doebe was like sitting in an an armchair, by contrast.
Gosh, it's nice to remember. I'm 63 now, and smiling.
@@petrahartog5934 That's exactly it, it's not the horses who are the problem, it's the humans who made them that way by not understanding them
What a wonderful story and the ability to make things happen is a trait that is a grand part of your essence 👍
What a story.. i recognized so much from the time that i wanted in the horse business, working as a groom for jumping riders, always the dirty work, late hours, little pay, riding the young horses, working and living on horse schools, and finally gave up, i was so sad, and now years later, i bought a horse again two years ago with my teenage daughter, i feel like myself again. ❤
I remember the phrase « she’ll grow out of it when she discovers boys » being thrown around when I was young.
Even as a teen I made sure my horses came first always. I figured out at some point there would always be boys/men but great horses that suited ME were few and far between. Any men had to understand the horses came first. My husband was a horse lover and we rode many happy miles together.
I'm 55, I will never grow out of it. I have around 55 stuffies. From Unicorns, Pegasus, donkeys, and of course horses. I have around 15 polymer clay horses sculpted for me. She owes me 4 more and has disappeared. 😢
I have several "Breyer" type and models. I won't ever stop buying horse items!!!
🖤🩶🤍💜
💚💚💚💚💚
Horse girls & women don't grow out of horses.
I am old now and have NEVER gotten over this illness. I regret that I cannot pursue my horse dreams. Your video has brought tears. God bless you and keep enjoying your beauties.
Awesome video! You have shown that we cannot always start at the top or right where we think we want to be. It does take time. Now, I wish they had a 4H for seniors!
4H for Seniors - that's a great idea. Why not propose it where you are?
@@sunnyseacat6857 I think I will!
Me too!
You are a very special human being. Thank YOU for perservering through your challenges and your passion, humbleness, and positivity is contagious!
Thank YOU♥
I think your story doesn't just apply to those who love horses; it's a good message for anyone with a dream.
Absolutely.
I love your story about your journey with horses began and grew. Hard work and dedication payed off. You get to save many horses, and you are an inspiration to your UA-cam followers. Thank you for sharing your story.
Yes! I got the horse bug around that age. My parents couldn't afford to buy a horse, but tried their best to get me treatment via riding lessons and Girl Scout camp.
Absolutely loved your story and determination! Fellow biochemistry major here - and yes, getting a job with "just" a science bachelor is tricky. I went on to more schooling, and then I had kids, so therefore never had the time to get back into riding. However, I have worked hard to make it possible for my kids to grow up with horses, and my son is on his path to being a horse trainer and he loves it. So my road was long and very different than yours, but I finally get to be around horses again thanks to my kids and their horses :-)
If you're looking for a Horse Science Technology program or similar for your son, I believe Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa still runs an Equine Studies program. It's a much more affordable option than a big university, and it's affiliated with the Iowa Equine Center, the biggest horse facility in Iowa.
Reading your story was inspiring to me as now as an elderly woman I can’t really start riding horses since everything is so different here in Japan.
If I had stayed in the USA long ago and continued to ride horses on Sundays I may now be a cow woman with a ranch living my dream ❤
Awe Sis, your the daughter I never had. Thank you for showing how to keep on working and building dreams.
What a beautiful story.❤ Thank you for sharing it! This almost 70yo woman wished she could have seen this when I was younger. Although I've managed to keep myself in the horse world since 16yo,, except for 11yrs while having children. Then my last child, a daughter, when she turned 5yo, after attending a horse camp, brought me back into the horse world. I surely wasn't complaining.😊 A few yrs ago I took over the wild-caught Mustang mare I adopted as a 2yo old for her, when she fell out of love with horses at 20yo. Mustang Annie will be turning 18yo this summer. It was such a shame, because my daughter was such a natural. Even the natural horsemanship trainer we brought in that helped us tweak a couple things, who told us he rarely sees anyone who did this well with her training...asked my daughter on 2 occasions what was she going to do for a career. Yes, I learned natural horsemanship thru videos, then taught her, but she just had a way with horses, and a beautiful natural rider. Oh, well, I've learned we all have a journey to walk. It wasn't her journey, but mine will always be with horses.
What a story! It takes a lot of strength to persevere like you did and continue to. You have a strong foundation for a less shaky future!
When my daughter was in her teen I encouraged her to volunteer at the local Riding for the Disabled. This gave her the opportunity to work with the horses while helping others.
Thank you so much for sharing your story, which sounds to have been pretty tough, but also beautiful. You certainly seem to be exactly where you should be! Very best wishes… ❤
I absolutely love your attitude about all that you do and the disease that afflicts so many of us! I got infected as a 3 year old child at a church pony ride. The smell of the pony, the creak of the leather saddle and I was hooked. It took me 40 years to get my first horse but its an experience I wouldn't trade for all the money in the world.
I got my Lead Wrangler jobs through Coolworks!! I want my own mule . Sky Ranch Emigrant Valley is my next hope. I'm a great conversation piece..not many 60 year old wranglers out there!!
Wow. Wouldn't I love to have a conversation with this conversation piece. Seriously! Bravo, girl.
Thank you. You’ve led an interesting life.
I found your channel recently. This is my favorite video so far! I grew up with 22 horses/ponies. My mother ran the equestrian 4 H program. Although I’ve not owned my own horse as an adult I’ve never been able to cure my disease 😊 watching your videos makes me feel like I’m a kid again taking care of our horses. Thank you
Well done!!! You knew what you wanted and you went for it! 🐎
Thanks so much for sharing your story. I really enjoyed it and found it very inspiring.
This was very informative and answered some of the many questions I had about you. I wish I had known all of this 50 years ago! So now I must live vicariously through you. Thanks
Me too, vicariously.
Wow, what a story! you are an inspiration
Hard work and determination CC - you show that.
I grew up with horses. My Dad was a cowboy and I do not know how he got into horses, his family had no experience or expertise with equines. My parents met through horses (my Mom flirtingly said she had never ridden a horse. She never regretted that she met my Dad, but she was never a horse person). I was my father's child much to my Mom's chagrin. We were always "horse poor". We were lucky to have an acre and a third and at that time hay was inexpensive. So I had my own horse and Dad and I would go riding or annually work cattle on a friend's ranch. When I left home I couldn't have horses any more but horses will always be a part of my life. I'm getting older but still wish I had one or two in the back yard. The expense is what deters me.
What a great story! My first horse was an old mare with a huge knee in front. She was gentle and just what i needed at 10 years old. As I got older i found out about 4-H and wanted to join but my old mare wasnt appropriate so dad bought me a youger black, half standardbred gelding. I rode him awhile but then at age 15 dad bought me a registered Quarter Horse filly, a 2 year old. All this time i was in 4-H and loved it. I finished my 4-H eligibility with this mare but then became a 4-H leader for 10 years. Then i moved to Texas with my husband and older daughter and Dad brought my 2 horses down to live with me. I was into paint horses by then and bloodlines and breeding became my passion. We raised a lot of very nice Paints over the years and I showed the babies in futurities, both Paint Horse futurities and Pinto. I won a good number of them, it was fun and a dream come true. Sold all the horses though in 2013 when I retired so we could travel. Never got another horse. But i have lots of good memories!
I am SOOOOO glad you made this video!!! You answered so many questions that have been rumbling around in my head. I am very surprised at the number of jobs you have held and impressed with the way you went about working within your situation to accomplish your goals!!! Great thinking, Girl!!! Again, love your videos and love watching all you do!
HAPPY TRAILS!!! ❤❤❤
So glad I found your videos! I started in 4-H dogs.
A 103 year lady doctor was asked what enabled her to live so long and be so successful in her career. She said, follow your 'happy' and you'll know. I'm so glad you found your happy. Wishing you and yours (human, kits, pups and equines) lot's of 'happy'.
…I’m looking forward to hearing more details about your background experience with your journey with horses and becoming the churro indulging beautiful woman that you have become. ☺️🌷👱🏻♀️🌾🐴🌸
I'm still mourning the loss of the churro 😭
CC did a video about that one month ago, titled: How did I do it? My hourse journey ~ It's not what you think! 👍🏻🥰
@@renasiegel That's the title of THIS video, Rena.
My granddaughter is 7 and is taking an hour riding class. It started at 5. She started wanting toy horses. No one in our circle of friends and family even has a horse. Now all she wants is a horse.
I started asking at 2, started riding lessons at 7 (youngest they allowed) and soon cleaned stalls and later helped by teaching younger riders their 1 hour “theory “ classes (they didn’t allow just the riding lesson, there was also a 1 hour class that taught kids horsemanship which encompasses all aspects of horse care besides riding). I am eternally grateful to my father for paying for lessons and driving me an hour each way to get there on the weekend. I never lost the horse fever but due to money and poor health there have been some years away. I recently bought another horse. You never forget
@@nicolaxoxo1 I'm glad your dream has a happy ending.
@@lynnegee6814 sadly it doesn’t. This summer the boarding stable where I keep my horse made an inexplicable mistake and fed my horse the wrong feed for 5 days. This led to laminitis, the founder so she is no longer sound. She is only 10. Heartbroken 💔
Thank you! This video was amazing. I suffered from the horse bug as a child. Collecting horse statues was all I could do until my parents bought my first horse. Without training a new rider is a mistake. Watching your channel has finally answered the puzzle why Arab kept neighing when the neighbors' goat adopted him. As a herd animal, the cattle didn't cut it. Keep going!
You do amazing work! You'll have your own place, that no one can take away soon. 🤞
I'm a big fan of your videos and have seen them all. I felt compelled to tell you what an amazing human being you are. What a fascinating story you have. I don't believe that I've ever known anyone quite as capable and as accomplished. And not only that but you possess intelligence and the ability to work hard for what you want. I especially envy how carefully thought-out and considered each of your life's decisions have been. What an incredible gift you have. I've always loved horses but come from a very non-horsey family so I never pursued it. I've also been in love with Montana my whole life. I drove out there on a trip to see it for myself and left a piece of my heart a few years ago. You've taught me so much about horses...thank you for that. I think you have a lovely life, doing exactly what you want to do and what you're gifted in. Not to mention helping so many beautiful horses that need you.
Have you ever considered writing a book about your experiences? I know that I would certainly read it!
I've never written a fan girl letter before and I hope that I don't sound like a creep. Looking forward to the next video! You have a fan for life in Tennessee.
I worked my butt off trying to keep competing horses until I burned out and focused on career. Then all kinds of people started asking me to work with their horses. I was too into my career then. Life is strange. I had a friend who went to equestrian uni then became a lawyer. It is so hard if you don't have land of your own.
What an amazing life so far! We just can’t know where small decisions can lead us. Love your videos.
amazing story about your life so far
Great video explaining your journey to current day. BUT you forgot to include your love story with your husband, I presume around the time you lived out of your truck and in the small camper. LOVE the camper idea and one day not too long ago, I thought I'd be living out of my car, but Thank God above He had a better idea for me. God Bless!! I can barely care for myself and have no ground for horses, but perhaps in my next life.
Love you dear hard working youngster, bet your work ethic rubbed off from your parents? I LOVE your Montana "accent" which articulates every letter of the word, clear and concise so I never need subtitles to understand what you're saying!
Sending PRAYERS that your finally find a ranch for yourself and hubby, and all your wonderful animals.
I picked him up along the way with a few other strays 🤣
😊@@TheCleverCowgirl
That was really beautiful! Thank you for some of your back story.
So great you mentioned 4H. I was in 4H growing up with ponies and then horses. It was such a wonderful experience.
Another informational video with lots of dream bits.
Love your indomitable spirit, Clever!
Love the picture of you and Frisco Bill! I got this bug when I was about 6 or 7. My grandpa had a big farm with beef cattle but he would not get me a horse because he didn't believe in paying to feed what he considered a useless animal. He did however introduce me to one of the neighboring farm owners that was getting older and having trouble caring for but loved his horse so much he couldn't part with him. He was a 3 year old named Danny. 15.3 hand quarterhorse arabian mix that had a dirty blond mane and tail and was the color of a shiny new copper penny. I was too small for a regular saddle so he got me a used western style pony saddle that he adjusted to fit this big guy. He was only green broke so we learned everything together under his expert instruction. For the next 10 years every day rain, shine or snow I walked the half mile to his farm and took care Danny. He had a huge trophy case with all the awards from shows he'd won with his horses over the years. I was never paid in money but I learned invaluable lessons in caring for horses and horsemanship. The owner finally got too old and had to sell his farm but we found a great home for the horse. If you want a horse but can't afford one then where there is a will there is always a way.
I was enthralled with your story which in a way had a happy ending for the horse you rode for ten years that finally had to go to another place but it was a great place for the special horse…
For some reason this struck a chord in me and I just wanted to say thank you for sharing ❤
Thank you for your big heart and openness.
What a beautiful path you took to get here and yet there is so much more wonderful coming your way. You are amazing!!! Thank you for sharing.
Fascinating to hear about how you got started. Thanks so much for sharing.
What an amazing adventure!
thank you you have a gift horses are here because of your kind and smart heart
Illustrates the point that many careers are not exactly what we have planned. I think we each learn as we progress through each job and yes there is some scar tissue for some of us. But keep moving forward and being open to make changes and sometimes accepting good advice. Book learning is good but not always the right ticket.
You seem to have done well and I think part of this is keeping to aspire to find the right path and a "best" job.
Very good video!
Absolutely loved this journey! I've had that disease for many decades😂 I worked at a local lesson & show barn, since 10yo. Traded work for my lessons. Back then, parents encouraged responsibility & could trust the safety of their kid to the instructors. Now there are published legalities that severely restrict that kind of learning scenario. Parents must stay with their kid for the 1 hour lesson & then leave. Horsemanship & groundsmanship suffer. Wishing continued success in navigating your disease!
Really impressive story....I love your channel and the great work you are doing❤
Thank you so much 😀
My horse story almost mirrors yours! I fell for horses at a young age. Was a 4h member, went to tech college, earned an associate degree in equine management. Worked on a thoroughbred broodmare farm very briefly, then a qh farm and lastly an Arabian show barn. None lasted very long for different reasons. Worked in a few factories, decided that's not what I want to do forever. Went back to tech college and became a nurse. Keep the awesome videos coming!
That was a beautiful story, thank you for sharing your journey to your horse dreams. You have such a beautiful heart.
What an interesting story and a great roadmap for young horse crazy kids.
Wow, what a journey you have had. Was very cool to see your experiences and decisions that brought you to present time.
I gotta tell you - I'm a knarly ex construction contractor who never made it to peasant level with not a lot of patience - but you melt my heart. You followed your dreams and as a result Nigel & Skelator - to name just two - are lucky boys. Give Studman an extra scratch for me.
I worked cattle, herded cut hay, bailed, stacked and branded, vaccinated cattle. your stories and blogs make me smile. I am an animal lover that loved the ranch life. Yes beef cattle are for eating but the life and respect for the cattle and land with irrigation led me to find a great love of horses. I was so fortunate to find out they were all different and fun. One horse was a grand champion cutting horse that I had the fortune to ride while cutting calves from moms. All I had to do is stay on him because the horse knew the job. I am not a real cowboy but I've done all the work! I love your videos!
CC, I had 'the condition' BAD! I think one of my first memories was seeing a horse and wanting it. I've ridden horses all my life, but didn't own one until I was 42, when I could actually afford one. I love your story! It reminds me of mine. Every Christmas morning or birthday I prayed hard the night before that my dream would come true. I guess when you want something that badly you have to figure it out for yourself. Well done, CC! Please keep your videos coming!!🐎🤍🤗
Wonderful, me too I was hit by that virus very young.
But a plant virus has infected my as well.
Now I am a graduated biologist and professional gardener without a horse.
But am planning to get my own land.
Love and greetings from Germany.
Am in tears seeing your beautiful place.
Thank You for sharing your life with 🐎, 🐎🐎 🌅 You stayed the course through it all, God Bless you❤
This was so interesting to hear your strides to get where you wanted to be . Congratulations on have the grit to keep going . Sounds like it was not very likely that you were going to succeed. But here you are , living your dream and teaching people about riding and training horses ! Thank you ! 🙂
Very clever! I love it. You have such an interesting story, and it explains your wealth of knowledge and experience. I'm sure this will be an inspiration to many young horse lovers.
What a great history lesson of how you came to be the CC. I think that it is great that you showed ways of being around horses that are free or takes minimal money. Volunteering your time to do jobs no one else wants can get you in to positions to learn a lot. Bravo
I'm 75, loved my kid years in 4-H. Horses and then another in homemaking. My friend was in cows...we lived our animals. Had to earn the money for the feed and tack; so a part time job was necessary from 13 on. We weren't like the city kids with parents who did everything for them. We had to ride to shows, no trailers...Horses are like dogs; they need attention and exercise. If you want them to be your friend; you'll have to spend time with them.
I was always wondering what brought you to us. Feel very blessed that you are doing what you love and you share it with us. Thank you
Thank you for telling your story. I have a huge respect of your work and how you live your dream. And I hope for you and your animal-wards it's not the end of the trail 🎉
PS I adore Nigel and love to see him What a transformation and how happy he must be in his old age....I do wish you had a couple of small donkeys----they are so in need and so kind and sweet [generally]. There may be some old grouchy donkeys too that have not gotten the love they deserve....
When I join for each, there is no way my family could afford a horse, and I lived in the city. The club was composed of country kids, but I borrowed my 4-H leaders horse, just as you did. It was great. One of the best experiences of my life
Very professional production! Bravo!
Thanks for the bio… I enjoyed it greatly…. I believe it goes to show that dreams are attainable if you never give them up
Great video!
Very touching 💞
Thanks for sharing your journey
You are an amazing young lady, you have shown that anybody can follow their dream by perseverance and dedication to what they want to do in life. Love how you care and treat all your horses it shows that humans can learn a lot from you in how to treat each other, trust, compassion and kindness. Its amazing how animals respond the this and giveback 10fold. Will humans achieve this NO. Love your horses and you. The old Aussie Al..
My daughter and I were just talking about success earlier today - we each get to define that for ourselves. You are an inspiring example of someone who decides what she wants and makes it happen. ❤
Yes! Thank you!
One of my favorite videos! Please expand on this and tell us more about your past experiences!
So beautifully narrated! You are an incredible woman and have accomplished so much. Love that you are rooted now and succeeding in your mission 😊
I really like your videos. You are sharing your life in a way that we don't see anywhere else. I think you are full of courage and faith in yourself and it remind me to do the same. Thank you and keep doing what you do!
