Good photos can make or break an ad, I had the opportunity to photograph the cutest two year old in Bloomfield, IN.

This filly was such a trooper and is going to make someone a nice horse.

The key to success isn't talent, it's not even hard work, it's consistency.

The more often you show up, the more often you fail.

Fail? Yep, you read that right.

Failure is the secret to success.

Failure is the window for growth. It's where you learn what works and what doesn't.

Photography is a hobby of mine and the best way to improve is to take lots of photos.

The more photos you take, the more you learn about how the photo translates into the editing process, and how to share the scene you wish to share with others. Lots of them are "failures."

Too grainy, overexposed, underexposed, bad compositon, etc etc. Every mistake is valuable information.

Below is a photo from one of my first times picking up a camera next to a photo from our shoot with Haven Ridge Performance Horses. There were a lot of valuable lessons learned in between.

Fail often. Learn often.

The only time you truly lose is when you quit showing up.

Did you know the average horse needs their teeth floated once a year?

For younger horses or horses with dental issues we may do more frequently than that!

We do this because horse's teeth continually grow.

As they grow, they get worn, often unevenly. This is partly due to softer diets in captivity. Basically, our horses don't chew enough rocks.

This uneveness greatly inhibits a horse's ability to chew.

You see, horses chew in a circular motion and the teeth grind against each other to chew the food.

When the tooth surface becomes uneven or sharp, they don't glide smoothly agaist each other. Sharp protrusions can even cut the insides of their cheeks!

A horse that needs dental work may show some of the following signs:

-Difficulty keeping weight
-Chewing with head elevated
-Dropping food while chewing
-Head tossing in the bridle
-Packing food in their cheeks
-Bad breath
-Resisting the bit

It was a beautiful run! Congratulations Jamie and Cali 🥳

𝔸 𝕕𝕒𝕪 𝕥𝕠 𝕓𝕖 𝕘𝕣𝕒𝕥𝕖𝕗𝕦𝕝 𝕗𝕠𝕣!

5 years ago today, I was laying in a hospital bed wondering if I would ever walk or ride again.

Today, I am grateful to be here. Still riding, still competing, and not taking a single minute of it for granted.

𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒍𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝑩𝒍𝒖 gave me a beautiful ride in the Tres Osos Derby Level 1 Open Rein Work and we scored a 213.5 for owners Dave & Candy Cunningham Tharp.

Thank you to our sponsors for supporting us on this journey!

𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱𝗻'𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝘆 "𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀."

Social media is a super fun tool, but people in general do not like to follow pages that they feel are trying to sell them something.

So here comes the response, "𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗞𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘆, 𝗜 𝗮𝗺 𝘁𝗿𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴!"

And yes, you're right. A business does want sales, but the value of social media is not just found here.

Brand awareness and community are always priority one.

You want to be recognizable, it makes you memorable.

Additionally, people spend money where they feel valued.

By building a digital community they can engage in and be featured in, your followers build a kinship with your brand. This leads to sales in good time, but it is not so simple as "more followers = more sales."

Despite making all of my own logos, I don't do it for the public. I like having free range to play with concepts.

Here is one I made for a stud for some surprise Christmas merch for his owners.

Their brand is -D and their barn color is blue. The vision in my head was to incoporate the silhouette of their brand into the logo with something easy to read and print on products.

You need to stop folks in their tracks, if you're already well known online sometimes your name can be enough.

However, for many that is not the case. Quality photos, videos, captions, and enagement are what make social media work.

Like this photo I took of Colin Moody is a hell of an attention grabber.

Not sure where to start?
