Rolex from a vendor’s point of view, as I am a vendor when I go there, it means I barely see a horse because I am in a booth educating people and selling hit-air vests. Was it fun, yeah it was.

• Thanks to Reuben Jackson from PEDCO, LLC who imports and sell the hit-air vests. It was fun to get to know Reuben and I really liked it when he laughed heartily at my comical hit-air stories.
• Thanks to Julie Mickler and Michael Mickalisin who own Bob Mickler’s Tack Shop of Lexington, Kentucky. It was slower this year, less people and cold wet weather. These Roles booths cost quite a bit and are a significant investment. I hope ROI will justify continued partnership at Rolex 2016.
• Brands, branding, brand recognition – what else can I say. This is really evident at Rolex. I am not a brand driven consumer, I am a quality and value driven consumer. I research products, then find the best price and try them. That is why I sell hit-air vests, best product, best price.
• Thanks to people from Tipperary, Christiana and Jerry, for more companionship.
• Thanks to people of Ariat, for companionship and support. \
• So many really nice, genuine people.
• This morning after feeding and my war on flies walking back up to the house I was thinking about how many people I think about as a result of my horses. Of course, for my life I
• Thank, Brian, Jeffer and Ashley.
• Thank Mary Dougherty every time I scratch my horses belly I think about us a little gurls and playing “trace a letter on my back” tucked in bed avoiding sleep and loving the visceral little sketches you lightly scratched on my back. OK, sometimes I lied, I knew the letter and it felt so good, I would say I wasn’t sure so you would scratch again.
• Thank you Connie Arthur you are my idol and a mentor. I have been a horse person since I was seven years old, but I wasn’t a horse business person until I was about 40. I wish I’d have known you sooner. I see you as successful, hard working, deserving, and honest.
• Thank you Amber OK, I miss you. I miss our pony times so much but mostly I just miss you.
• Thank you Paul Bunje, we will have our pools some day!
• Thank you Audra, think of your balanced mind and the successful business you’ve built. Grass fed beef is just around the corner.
• Thank you Jessica Strader, you and Laurel are the future.
• Thank you Nina, I’m so glad we have similar values it is great luck for us and makes it more enjoyable to have you hear.
• Thank you Raychell Raychel Raychel, your music is so great and I see the jumps going a little bit higher. You dersever to be confident, gurl

Retirement, Brian did it. Money is a strange thing and I miss that when I worked high-tech, 20+ years ago, I had a nice salary. I felt powerful. I feel how my self-worth is tied to money or has been tied to the comparison between my ability to earn money and Brians. It is really strange that I feel stronger, I feel more equal and he only fully retired last week. Seeing oneself change and having realizations; it is happening now. I can’t wait to have my riding partner back.

Brand, branding and brand recognition is like luck, opportunity and effort. I appreciate so much how luck brought me here to our home and property, I found an opportunity and together, Brian and I have put much effort into the present time. Luck happens, opportunity is seen or found, and effort is when something is worth working toward.
