year end awards~

Well another fantastic season has come to a close for the Central Utah Jr. Rodeo association. What a fantastic night of awards, food, fun and an awesome guest speaker. I wanted to change it up a little, so i invited a friend who is so talented in so many different avenues, Danna Burns Shaw. Danna came and shared with the kids and parents some fantastic ideas.
Mostly about our thoughts, two most important things of the day. Our first and last thoughts. Then giving thanks and sending it out to the universe and watching our returns. Service, give back. She had that Danna Shaw twinkle in her eye and i knew we would be in for an evening of great words.
2009 saddles were given to the all-arounds, congrats to all of you and congrats to the reserve all around winners. One of my favorite winners of the night were the winners of the 13-17 heeling events. Racheal Fackrell went home with this award, and it was her first buckle win!!! How exciting, I get to rope with Racheal all the time and she truly inspires me. She has grown leaps and bounds and overcome so huge obstacles. She is a winner in the arena and definitely life! Another favorite was Zeek and Dan Woodland, Dan's first buckle win with his son. Those don't get any better, way to go boys. I love to see teams, team up and win. And last but not least Grandpa Winn, he showed up more than once to win a prize with Shad, Dixon and Brent. What a huge hero he is to me, and my children. He never thinks he is capable, but oh does he know! Great job to all of you.
Every year i feel a little frazzled as everything comes to a year. Then it's so overwhelming to me to see so many kids effort truly pay off. thanks for all the hugs, and special words, Casy and I love to be in the service of all you, that's truly what makes it worth while!!@!!

Busy week!!!

Well, well, well, life in the fast lane. This week has been busy, Monday was off to try a new horse, Tuesday to Vernal to work on horses and people with the acuscope, Wednesday off to i don't remember, Thursday work on more horses and people, oh ya lost a tooth eating a tootsie roll, in to the dentist for a root canal!Q!!! ya that was a great time, and then a little roping.
Friday off to the temple after a long day of cleaning outside, riding a horse, fixing a cut horse, mowing the lawn before winter!!! The temple was amazing, can't ever get enough of the quiet peice i feel there, Arbys with my hot date finished the night out. What a lucky girl I am.
Saturday was an early morning, meeting Destiny and heading to St.George with Harmonic Health, to do a demonstration with the Acuscope at a Vicki Solomson Barrel Racing Clinic!! It was amazing, Vicki is a great clinician, horsewomen, and nice person. We worked on some great horses, and made some good contacts. Fun day with Destiny and her little helpers.
My life is great, I am so satisfied with so many things. The future is as bright as my faith, wow that's a little scary.
The poet Robert Frost wrote, "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference." I have come to believe that there are certain hard moments, diverging-road moments, that , if we are strong in them, will make all the differene" down the road of life!!!
The road that I have been traveling with Destiny Crane the last month has been so inspirational. The people we come in contact each day are amazing, every one of them having hope, and faith, and full of love. We have been able to work on some parapalegic's, old people, tons of animal athletes, friends, families. The stories are overwhelming, and so satisfing. Being able to serve someone else each day is awesome. Heres to another busy week!!!!

CUJR FINALS~~~~~

Well what an eventful weekend we had. It was our CUJR finals in Salina, we all had a blast! I want you all to know that its "YOU" the members who make it all worth while!!! I love to watch kids grow and get better, and compete, win or loose.
So many horses have improved, one in particular is Kylee Mackelprang in the poles at the start of the season she was running a new horse. In June she ran some 28.0 in the poles, and at the finals she ran some low 20.0. Way to go Ky!!! You are amazing to me, time, dedication, effort. I am so impressed!!!!
KyLeigh Winn for a 25.0 second pole run, fastest yet!!! Your awesome!! Rhett Nielson for riding one rank dude in the short round and scoring a great score!!! Shad Winn for getting bucked off a good horse and keeping up the hard work the next day tying a 11.00 in the goats!!!!
Dixon Winn for turning 17, and letting us gloat over the loud speaker all day!!!Teresa Fackrell for working your little tail off as secretary, Lex and Elisa, Dan and Lisa, Edna, Terry, Shauna, Mackelprangs and everyone i can't even name!!! We love you and are so thankful you can help us.
The banquet will be fun to give the prizes, saddles, buckles, and enjoy each others company once again.
And then there was swine flu, that was the worst of the weekend, KyLeigh Jo Winn had a temp of 102 Sunday and found out Monday we were positive for strep and influenza! She is feeling better, and will miss school this week.
Well thanks again and heres to another fantastic year!!!

Every DAY so worth living

The last few weeks, I have been on the run. Between football, horses, kids, school and acucsope. WOW!! Destiny and I have been on the run treating so many horses, and humans.
We have had the opportunity to treat a man who had a ton bale fall onto his head two years ago. He was a horse trainer, self employed with a thrifty business. Things have changed for their small family now. The wife is taking care of her husband, who only has very few skills. Each time we treat him, he smiles, has learned some new words, can swat flies with his hat, and say bullshit. You never know what might happen tommorow, so make sure you cherish every day.
This wife has touched my heart, she is so kind, and has such compassion for her husband. He can squeeze her hand, but can only say a few words. I know that through treatments, and hope and faith he will get better. The selfless service she gives day in and day out is truly touching.
Horses have been healed and its been awesome to watch. For the most part they love it, they lick and chew. Even those wild race horses, seem to look forward to seeing us.
Our travels have taken us to some great places, this is so great. Life couldn't be any better. Just living every moment!

Every DAY

Acuscope-Myopulse for new winn business

I am so excited!!! I just spent the past four days in Salina, learning about the Thorpe Institute and Acuscope, and the Myopulse. My friend, Destiny Crane, has been doing it since January. When we traveled to Arizona together we talked about it and know I am so excited to be apart of her team.
The Acuscope & Myopulse are nothing new, they have been in the industry since the 70's for humans. But recently they have made the machines available for our four legged friends!!!
The Acuscope is a input/output device that sends an electric stimulation into the body and recieves biofeedback. It works at 100x/second in a square wave stimulation. It works on the nervous/brain tissue, and is such a great heeler. It removes toxins from the body, and sends new blood to old tissue for healing purposes.
We worked on lots of horses in Salina, studied, studied, worked on horses and then the exam. I will work with Destiny until I can get my own machine, which i hope is not to long. So excited., to help others and horses. Ye-ha!!!
