Modern Cowgirl White Horse

My horse has been a huge blessing to me. He's better than therapy, he always puts me in a good mood and he's taught me so much about horses (since he is my first, I've had him 3 years, and I'm in my 40's) and taught me so much about myself. I always wanted a horse, and probably sooner wasn't the right time. He came into my life when I could appreciate what he does for me mentally, physically and with lovingly.

Oh, and the love of my life, and huge blessing to me, is my grey arab (pretty much my white horse). And, yes he gives kisses, when I ask.

For some, determination comes standard. For others it can prove to be inspiring and most rewarding.

Growing up with horses has strengthened this resolve for me. I can admire the grace, the beauty, and the sheer power of these magnificent animals and see the same in myself. I do not feel the need to wait for my prince charming to ride up on his white horse; I do not need a hero to slay my dragons. I am my own hero, my own motivation, and my own reward. I live in this moment to determine my future- understanding who I was, who I am, and who I want to be.

My friends are this way too. They are inspirations, they are champions. They are confident, intelligent, and “beautiful”. My forever friend continues to be an inspiration to me. She has maintained the highest average as she puts herself through school, she has faced aversion, and she has faced the most exceptional of barriers. But still she rises. She truly has empowered her inner cowgirl and reminded me that we all, as strong women, can overcome the most challenging of demands.

Together we truly live for the day, and inspire for tomorrow. I can’t think of any greater meaning in this life. Who knew that cowgirls could truly shatter the glass ceilings, and tear down the walls…? For me, my friends, and my horses, are my strength, and my release.

I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Hello Modern Cowgirl,

I Actually don't know where to start. So I guess I will start with my name is Kimberly Jackson I am 52. I live in beautiful Utah with my husband and all my animals.

I have one Regular size horse, Ruby, who is my Sunshine, and I have had her for 7 years. She is insulin resistent, which didn't rear it's ugly head until last year. Then I have a mini Buck Skin stud, his name is Chief Sundance, but we call him Spuds because he looks like a potatoe. Recently we acquired Ginger, and she is a mini filly. Spuds needed a girl friend for spring. Tee Hee! No one is white though.

Spuds is the only horse rescue. I found him by the classifieds. He was kept in a 10x10 stall, and he just walked in circles all day. He wasn't "PERFECT" so they were selling him. I couldn't afford him, but I couldn't leave him. He was only 6 mos old. I fell in love before we got him loaded.

Some time ago I was diagnosed with a disease that limits my mobility and is very painful. My doctors told me to slow down and medicated me heavily. I was working 50 to 60 hours a week because I thought that's what was expected of me, and like everyone else " we needed the money". My doctors and my husband finally ganged up on me, and demanded that I quit my job, so I gave in to them and gave 30 day notice. The main thing that got me to give in was the promise of a dog (from a resue).

On my first day home I was on the internet, and went on "Pet Finder". I accessed the rescue page and there she was this huge face. I couldn't take my eyes off of her. I knew she needed me, and I needed her, I called my husband and the rest is history. I now home a 125lb (4 time loser) beautiful dog who started out at 97lbs. She is the perfect dog for me. Her name is Bell.

Actually it is too long of a story to email, but I have ended up with two rescue dogs, and on March 1st we are being honored by Star Valley Wy as their "Happy Family" success story for addoptiong "Suka" a two time loser who we absolutely adore. She is an Austrailian Shepard teenager that just needed a little patience. She is Precious!

So really I am not the rescuer, I am the rescuee. I now am riding Ruby bareback again, and we prefer it that way. I have lost 66 lbs, I am not the "Savy" business woman anymore. I am the dirty Cowgirl again, Ruby has lost 300lbs (doctors orders) and she is back to being my sweet baby again. You see I just thought she was a big healthy fat happy horse with an attitude. Also, Spuds is the sweetest little mini anyone has ever seen, and he can't wait to officially meet Ginger. I am so happy, and it seems that everyone else is happy too. Except my husband Doug. He has to feed the horses and I love him even more for it.

Thank you for your time.

Kimberly
