This week’s message is one of the most powerful ideas that can help you stay focused on the process of riding (or doing anything 😊!) – and adopting a mindset that frees you to see options and take advantage of unforeseen opportunities that can supercharge your new year’s goals.

Things were quiet on the Schulte front. I was going to make a video for you, but I got the funk instead and lost my voice.

I hope you enjoy my perspectives of looking ahead into 2025.

We always have a blast making our annual Christmas video.

It’s a one-take shoot, so what you see is what you get—and we never know what you’ll get. LOL.

Here’s wishing you blessings from our house to yours.

Merry Christmas and lots of love,

Barb

PS: As always, We love hearing from you! Please leave a note!

This is a festive time of year, with so much going on. As this year winds down, I reflect on 2024 and look forward to next year.

I want to share something I learned that might initially seem obvious.

Still, it’s like anything else: as you explore the different layers of an idea or skill, you discover something new you can experience, learn, and make meaningful for your personal preferences and unique situations.

This past week, I received a lovely email from Jill, who made the $15,000 Amateur World Finals Cutting in Fort Worth. For those who don’t cut, that’s a big deal! Congratulations, Jill! You go, girl!

Her email made me think it would be fun to hear from you about whatever made you smile or that you’re proud of as you look back over 2024 and acknowledge the people, horses, and things that contributed to your success.

Hi, it’s Barb and Nic.

We are happy to be here to say hello and express our gratitude.

We love this season of Thanksgiving because gratitude is an excellent practice. It is a state of being that’s about abundance instead of lack.

It’s a beautiful, beautiful morning today.

I want to share a story about a friend who called and wanted to chat about two experiences involving interactions with others.

One was that she’d been a helper on the cow crew at a show, turning out cattle for people boxing.

When I was a consultant for a client’s broodmare program, my boss often said, “Barb, one of the secrets to success is you need to keep showing up.”

He went on to explain that, whether it’s business or personal, investing time in attending events can open doors.

We position ourselves to take advantage of opportunities, observe trends, become more informed, and make new friends.

Oh. This is so funny.

I don’t know if you can hear it, but some wild pigs might be over in those trees to the left.

We’ve seen them come across our property years ago, but that’s the first time I’ve heard them grunting!

Hi, my friends,

There’s our sweet boy, Nic, in the distance, in the arena, having a little breakfast this morning

The fall is such a beautiful, beautiful time of the year.

Hey, it’s Barb, and I want to talk to you today about an idea that’s really easy to understand, but it’s not always easy to do.

It’s called unstoppable momentum.

Hello my friend, it’s Barb and I’m here on the Colorado River at Red Cliffs Ranch which is adjacent to Red Cliffs Lodge.

I’m looking at the cliffs that are behind the arena and I thought it would be fun to just give you a little tour from here.

Down here you see some of the cattle pens on one end of the arena.
