Mistakes are proof that you're trying. . *And* they're not the end of the world, that's for sure. But for a long time I felt like they were. I felt like if i made a mistake I'd never recover. Man, was that a crappy way to live -- it kept me from even trying. . Remember you have to try to succeed, but you do nothing, you're sure to fail. .

Run boys, RUN!!!!!! . In other news, my workouts are going smashingly. I've lost 3.4 inches so far in my journey to get healthier, get stronger and more fit. Now that I feel like my sciatic nerve injury is all the way healed up, world, watch out. I'm comin' for you! . Thank you, Kelly for being patient, cheering me on, and not letting me quit. Even though I think sometimes that would be easier! . I cannot recommend @westernworkouts enough. here's the deal -- I know how to work out. I did it for years. But when you're by yourself in several thousand acres of horses and cows, getting motivated, for me anyway, wasn't easy. . But I want to be better, I want to be healthy, I want to be fit. And I want to rule the world from the back of a horse. I'm pretty sure as long as Kelly has my back, I got this! . #thedxranch #horses #horsesofinstagram #aqha #aqhaproud #youholdmyheart #equine #equineart #runhorserun #ranchlife #ag #photooftheday #teamcanon #SDAGProud #winterinSD #snowyhorses #westernphotography #westernphoto #westernart #equinephotography #equinephotos #ig_equine #rurallifestyle #cowgirllifestyle (at Ducheneaux Quarter Horses) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9F41lsAvOj/?igshid=1f475j9lpxo7o

There are a lot of reasons to say “no” to something. . Sometimes you say no to things you actually believe in or support, because the timing is wrong. . Sometimes you say no to things you believe in but don't feel help you accomplish your goals. . The thing with saying no is this: you have to do what's best for you. Never apologize for saying no when people ask you to do things -- even if they're things you stand for and believe in or folks you enjoy supporting. Our world is a better place if you're doing what you need to do for you, so that you can spread the joy, love, cheer and wisdom that only you have. . Sometimes, to be the best "you", you have to say no. And that's okay. The world is better if you're the best version of yourself. . #justsayno #sayno #nottoday #maybelater #ciscothehorse #brownhorse #snafflebithorse #thedxranch #ranchlife #hifromsd #snow #winterinSD (at Ducheneaux Quarter Horses) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9CZe5yAbSo/?igshid=sevvjxz08cs3

Today contained a dang amazing view — despite the cold. . And of course any day spent horseback is great. Pretty sure @dillonducheneaux and I both had a great afternoon - even though it single digits! . #lifebetweentheears #betweentwoears #throughtheirears #westernhorseman #sorrelmare #snow #hifromsd #winter #fearthelittleredmare #dxandthecity #winterinsd #thedxranch #ranchlife #snafflebithorse (at The DX Ranch) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5_at6JAjU_/?igshid=hhvs4xoaionv

Everyday can’t be a great hair day. Just ask Dino! He’ll tell you all about the wild nights of standing in knee deep snow whilst the wind has its way with your locks! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Also, I may be sporting the same look. Are you having a killer hair day? I need to know that someone has it together! It sure isn’t me! #hifromsd #sdc_negativespace #winterinsd #horsesinsnow #thedxranch #horses #horsesofinstagram #aqha #aqhaproud #youholdmyheart #equine #equineart #photography #ranchlife #ag #photooftheday #igers #instagood #instahorses_post #westernphotography #westernphoto #westernart #equinephotography #equinephotos #ig_equine #bestofequines #snow #dxjurassicclassic (at Ducheneaux Quarter Horses) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuZW04fB3K2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17yuk4jgoc2oy

The cold earth slept below; Above the cold sky shone; And all around, With a chilling sound, From caves of ice and fields of snow The breath of night like death did flow Beneath the sinking moon. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The wintry hedge was black; The green grass was not seen; The birds did rest On the bare thorn’s breast, Whose roots, beside the pathway track, Had bound their folds o’er many a crack Which the frost had made between. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thine eyes glow’d in the glare Of the moon’s dying light; As a fen-fire’s beam On a sluggish stream Gleams dimly—so the moon shone there, And it yellow’d the strings of thy tangled hair, That shook in the wind of night. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The moon made thy lips pale, beloved; The wind made thy bosom chill; The night did shed On thy dear head Its frozen dew, and thou didst lie Where the bitter breath of the naked sky Might visit thee at will. --PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY-- . . . The wind chill is -40 here today. I thought the above poem was appropriate. Who wants to visit Hawaii? #hifromsd #winter #snow #snowyhorses #winterinsd #thedxranch #horses #horsesofinstagram #aqha #aqhaproud #youholdmyheart #equine #equineart #photography #ranchlife #ag #photooftheday #igers #instagood #instahorses_post #westernphotography #westernphoto #westernart #equinephotography #equinephotos #ig_equine #bestofequines (at Ducheneaux Quarter Horses) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bujba39A-gz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jgm4yedc9o2p

There are varying degrees of cold when the outside temperature hovers at 10 degrees F or colder. . . There’s the 10 degree day when you stick your head outside and say, “hell no!” Those days you do your bare bones chores and pretend you’re a bear for the rest of the day. . . . There’s the 10 degree day when you have sunshine, and no wind and say, “good Lord it’s gorgeous, let’s saddle a horse!” You make fresh tracks in the snow while wearing no layers because it’s not cold. . . . And then there’s a 10 degree day when you suck it up and do stuff anyways, because it’s not cold enough to force you into “pretend” hibernation, but it’s not warm enough to enjoy doing anything you really love to do, but you do stuff anyway, because it is relatively bearable. . . . Today is a “hell no” sorta day. And there’s no end in sight, to this weather. Send us some warm thoughts, will you? #winter #hifromsd #whoorderedthis #hurryupspring #icecicles #thedxranch #horses #horsesofinstagram #aqha #aqhaproud #youholdmyheart #equine #equineart #photography #ranchlife #ag #photooftheday #winter #winterinsd #instahorses_post #westernphotography #westernphoto #westernart #equinephotography #equinephotos #ig_equine (at Ducheneaux Quarter Horses) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuW7kSXA110/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=dn0q40tzcm04
