👋 Hey animal lovers! Thanks for watching! 😊 This video shows how our approach to horse training at ResqRanch, using positive reinforcement instead of fear or force, leading to the kind of trust where your horse licks your hand like a dog. We focus on understanding horse behavior and building a strong animal connection, allowing horses to choose their handlers willingly for each training session. Learn more about our horsemanship methods and equine psychology by following us, joining our summer training clinics, or volunteer to walk with us in the Evergreen Rodeo Parade Father's Day weekend!

Today I am grateful I have enough of a bond with Cesar to trust him to lick my hand without fear he will bite me. That was a special moment. I am grateful I woke up today (although my back hurts a bit and I am not sure why). I am grateful it's Sunday and we will have people here today to get us further in our quest to be in the parade soon. I am grateful my kids and I all got home safe last night. I am grateful it looks like it will be a beautiful day to be outside today and that the mud is finally drying up a little. I am grateful I have clothes. Cups. And my own funky memorabilia around my house that might not get me the cover of a home magazine, but that makes me happy to see it.

What about you, you Animal Loving Angel? It's Sunday! Definitely the most important day of the week to really take a moment and list something you are grateful for. Your car. Your shoes. Your pets. The fact you can breath and don't have to worry about making sure your heartbeat continues even without you having to make it so. Our breath is that thing which connects us to every moment of every day, and that we should never take for granted. If you woke up today, then you are a miracle, and the world needs you here in it, to do some kind of good, for other people, for animals, for yourself in this journey called life.

All any of us can do is be a little better today, than we were yesterday, in every way. That includes looking at yourself in the mirror, right in the eyes, and give yourself a high five! Be proud of yourself just for showing up, because every effort you make, is worth something. Even if it's not as good as what someone else can do, you are not competing with anyone, except yourself from yesterday.

And if any part of your journey includes wanting to have a better, healthier, journey with any of your beloved animals, like your dog, cat, or fish, then we are here to help at Aspen Park Vet Hospital.

And, if any part of your journey includes wanting to have a better, healthier, safe, more fulfilling, and fun journey with horses, then we got you covered here at the ResqRanch. Want to see just how much fun we have? Check out this video https://youtu.be/arIAYnJR6Cc

Make today the best day ever, a day to remember, that when you go to sleep tonight, you will do so with a BIG smile on your face. Make it a great one everybody!
