Thousands of wild Mustangs and burros are rounded up off public lands each year, and placed in holding pens, like the one at the prison in Canyon City. There are just not enough people who feel have the skills and ability to train a wild animal. Yet, if every horse owner in the world, adopted just one of these animals, we could empty the holding pens. And for those who don't feel like they have what it takes to handle them, that is where my Horse (and Donkey) Training Masterclass comes in. And remember, it's still free until this Sunday! So if you love animals, and learning about animal behavior and training, then you are going to love this class, and besides, what do you have to lose?

Today I am grateful for our Donkey, his long ears and kind eyes that enamor so many. I am grateful the sunrise and that all of the animals are doing well so far this morning. I am grateful for a good day at work yesterday, a good Chamber of Commerce meeting last night, and the chance to get out and play a little bingo with my oldest daughter last night (quite an unexpected surprise for a weeknight!). I am grateful my kids love me, and even want to spend time with me. I am very blessed.

Today is going to be all about getting ready for the Girls Gone Wild Mustang Birthday party on Sunday. I am excited! Should be a really fun time. I hope the horses 'choose' to behave, haha! :)

​ What about you, you Animal Loving Angel? What are you looking forward to today? I hope it's something special, so that when you go to sleep tonight, you have a smile on your face because of what an enjoyable day it was. Not to sure about that? Well, then you have the moment right now, to decide to make it a great day. Only you have the power to control how you feel. Other people don't make you feel a certain way, you can control how you react to others. It takes practice, and it's not always easy, but, when you feel yourself getting frustrated, that is the time to notice what you are noticing. Notice you are getting tight. Notice this is the time for a quick reset, and regain control over your emotions, don't let them control you. You have the power! It takes discipline, and practice, but, it is possible to control how others, and things, make you feel, so today, choose only happiness! Choose to not let anything get you down, or frustrated, or angry, or out of sort. Turn up your favorite song on the radio, sing it out loud and proud, and don't let what others do, turn your day negative. You got this, we got this. And if it's extra hard, remember, animals always make it easy. And if there is anything I can do for you, I am here for you. Have a most wonderful day today, we got this!
