Voyage Dallasβ βLocal Storiesβ Features Wise Market
Dallas is the perfect city for small businesses, and Wise Market is proof of that! In this feature with Voyage Dallas, I reflect on my journey, how my passion for horses inspired Wise Market, and the importance of giving back to the community.

π This week’s Buzz is all about gratitude and adventure. You won't want to miss this week's video on the blog, trust me!
While we were away, Bee was cared for by the best — thank you to Hayley, Alicia, and the Ponderosa owners for the love and work you pour into our horses. From photos and videos that eased my homesickness to repairs and stall resurfacing, it is noticed and appreciated.
And while Bee was in good hands, we took an unforgettable trip with our girls and Matt. From Farmageddon in Dublin to e-biking on Texel Island, the highlights were many, but nothing compared to simply being together.

πβ¨ Hand-painted Bibles are some of my favorite projects. Each one is designed to reflect the person receiving it — whether it’s a special verse, a meaningful symbol, or colors that speak to their story.
No two are ever the same, and that’s the beauty of it. These Bibles become keepsakes to carry through life, cherished for both the words inside and the art on the outside.
One of my recent favorites (shown first and last in this video) was created for someone who believes faith and science aren’t mutually exclusive. The design reflects that harmony — a reminder that it’s possible to honor both, letting curiosity and belief work together instead of apart.
Thinking of gifting one for Christmas, confirmation, or a milestone? My order list fills quickly — don’t wait!

Salt is small but mighty. It drives thirst, replaces sweat losses, and supports nerves and muscles year round. In this week’s Buzz I explain blocks versus loose salt, daily amounts, when to add electrolytes, and easy barn habits that keep water intake steady. Bee gives it a lick of approval.

π Supporting Reagan Holland π
I want to take a moment to share about someone very special — Reagan Holland. Yes, she’s an accomplished barrel and pole racer with plenty of wins under her belt, but what makes her stand out even more is who she is as a person.
Reagan is the true “girl next door” — sweet, hard-working, kind, and caring. She’s the type who shows up when you need her most, whether that’s at the barn, in the arena, or just as a steady friend. When I couldn’t be there, Reagan stepped in and took care of Bee for me, and I’ll never forget that kind of trust and heart.
Right now, Reagan is looking for local businesses and individuals who want to sponsor her as she continues to chase her goals in rodeo. Sponsorships help cover entry fees, travel costs, and equipment — all the things that allow riders like Reagan to keep doing what they love at a high level.
No amount is too small, and every bit of support makes a difference. If you’ve been looking for a way to support a young person who represents our community with grit and grace, Reagan is it.
Please reach out if you’d like to learn more about sponsoring Reagan or join me in cheering her on. Let’s lift her up the way she lifts others! ππ΄

This week's Bonus Buzz blog post is dedicated to @Katie Van Slyke and Baby Seven’s journey that taught us what creative, science based equine rehab looks like.
Born very early, Seven spent months protected in casts, then worked with the UT Equine Performance and Rehabilitation Center using custom orthotics and careful graded exercise. He made it home this spring. On August 11 Katie shared that they said goodbye. In his honor, the Seven Scholarship now supports future equine vets at UT.
In the blog I break down step by step care for extreme prematurity, thank the UT team, and share why veterinarians face higher suicide risk along with simple ways we can be kinder clients. We also have a family soft spot for UT. Our middle graduated from UT Knoxville, and our youngest chose K-State after getting into the UT vet program.

π΄ When a Horse Refuses to Eat, It’s Not Just Picky Eating
This weekend, Bee gave us quite a scare. Horses are grazers by nature, eating nearly all day long, so when I walked into the barn Saturday morning and saw her standing in the corner with her head down, ignoring her hay and grain, I knew something was wrong.
With the Texas heat, dehydration was our first concern. We checked her gums (they were pale, almost white), tried soaked feed, electrolytes, even watermelon… nothing. By late afternoon, I called Argyle Animal Veterinary Hospital. Their incredible team—Dr. Diaz, Dr. LaRue, and their tech—came out quickly, ran tests, and determined Bee was fighting a virus, not colic (thankfully). They even called ahead to Weems & Stephens to ensure she had a stall reserved just in case she needed overnight care.
Thanks to their guidance, Ashley hauling her, and lots of monitoring, Bee’s fever came down, her appetite returned, and by Monday she was back out with her herd. π
Lessons learned?
βοΈ Loss of appetite is one of the earliest signs of trouble.
βοΈ Colic can look different in every horse.
βοΈ Quick action and a trusted vet team can make all the difference.
Bee is back to her bossy, snack-loving self, but this was a big reminder: when your horse stops eating, take it seriously.

Buddy sour lesson with Bee this week. I let her choose our path in the front pasture and she marched straight to her friends and parked it. We worked circles and figure eights near the herd, then rested a little ways off, and the light bulb started to flicker. In the blog I explain what buddy sour means, why it happens, and three trainer approved ways to improve it.
Barn roll call is back too. Meet Big and Little, the seniors who run a very timely dinner service. Say hello to Silver Doll and her solar powered spa fan. Check in on the Penthouse crew with Levi, Royce, Spur, Dually, and Joker.
