This past month has been full of sweat, surprises, and small victories—each one reminding us of the quiet power of resilience.

Barn Life: One of the windows Bob repaired got mangled again (we suspect the horses are getting creative). But repairs continued—Bob fixed the auger, the mower, and added another wood post to the fence.

Family Time: I helped my dad fix his horse fencing. It took a few trips and a lot of patience, but I finally got the electric tape working!

Online Growth: Thanks to a TikTok ad grant, I focused on video creation and we grew to 3,900 followers! It’s heartening to see our message reaching more hearts.

Hay Season: I stacked over 50 bales in the shed before a surprise thunderstorm soaked the rest—even with tarps. But compared to last year, I felt strong and capable, and that alone is a gift I don’t take for granted.

Business Progress: I revised our business plan (again!) and earned a 10/10 score using Skip’s AI feedback tool. Now, I’m turning to grant pitches and finishing touches on our course materials and shop designs.

My favorite moment? Watching a hay bale fold in half without falling apart. A reminder that true strength is being able to bend without breaking.

Thanks for being part of this journey. We’re growing, learning, and holding steady—together.
