This morning I am so excited about our Breeder's Cup party coming up in a week check it out https://www.resqranch.org/breeders-cup-signup
Today I am grateful for my awesome team that help me put this event together, for the fact I have a long history with horse racing and the beautiful horses, I am grateful for my refrigerator, I am grateful for my dogs and this beautiful sunrise, and I am grateful and lucky to have a vision and a purpose for brining more good into the world for horses and the people who love them. YOU!
So THANK YOU for being here. Thank you for loving the animals, and for being kind to each other. Because as much as I know people that say they like animals but not people, all animals in captivity are attached to a person to care for them, so we have to be kind and understanding towards them, as they are doing the best they can, and like it or not, without them, who would be there to care for their pets?
And if you have a pet dog, and you are already thinking about what to get them for Christmas (I see you!), might I encourage you to check out the ResqRanch shop since all proceeds go to feed the animals. Did you notice those 2 new big bales of hay in the pen this morning? The horses eat one of those every 2-3 days, sometimes when the weather is cold they go through one a day! A semi load of those bales, which lasts us about 5 months, costs $7,000. And we need another one! So please consider donating to us (thank you) https://www.coloradogives.org/organization/Resqranch, and please check out our shop for cool products like this puzzle bowl that I highly recommend for every dog owner https://m0ztfs-p7.myshopify.com/products/slow-feeder-pet-bowl.
In the meantime, remember to be kind to yourself today. Pick that affirmation that speaks to you, and smile and say it to yourself in the mirror today. You ARE the architect of your own life. You control your own emotions and responses to the things that come at you today. So choose to be happy. And choose to be kind to yourself. You deserve it. Thank you for being you!
