It was fun to get to know Reuben and I really liked it when he laughed heartily at my comical hit-air stories.<\/li>\n<li>Thanks to Julie Mickler and Michael Mickalisin who own Bob Mickler&#8217;s Tack Shop of Lexington, Kentucky. It was slower this year, less people and cold wet weather. These Roles booths cost quite a bit and are a significant investment. I hope ROI will justify continued partnership at Rolex 2016.<\/li>\n<li>Brands, branding, brand recognition \u2013 what else can I say. This is really evident at Rolex. I am not a brand driven consumer, I am a quality and value driven consumer. I research products, then find the best price and try them. That is why I sell hit-air vests, best product, best price.<\/li>\n<li>Thanks to people from Tipperary, Christiana and Jerry, for more companionship.<\/li>\n<li>Thanks to people of Ariat, for companionship and support. \\<\/li>\n<li>So many really nice, genuine people.<\/li>\n<li>This morning after feeding and my war on flies walking back up to the house I was thinking about how many people I think about as a result of my horses. Of course, for my life I<\/li>\n<li>Thank, Brian, Jeffer and Ashley.<\/li>\n<li>Thank Mary Dougherty every time I scratch my horses belly I think about us a little gurls and playing \u201ctrace a letter on my back\u201d tucked in bed avoiding sleep and loving the visceral little sketches you lightly scratched on my back. OK, sometimes I lied, I knew the letter and it felt so good, I would say I wasn&#8217;t sure so you would scratch again.<\/li>\n<li>Thank you Connie Arthur you are my idol and a mentor. I have been a horse person since I was seven years old, but I wasn&#8217;t a horse business person until I was about 40. I wish I&#8217;d have known you sooner. I see you as successful, hard working, deserving, and honest.<\/li>\n<li>Thank you Amber OK, I miss you. I miss our pony times so much but mostly I just miss you.<\/li>\n<li>Thank you Paul Bunje, we will have our pools some day!<\/li>\n<li>Thank you Audra, think of your balanced mind and the successful business you&#8217;ve built. Grass fed beef is just around the corner.<\/li>\n<li>Thank you Jessica Strader, you and Laurel are the future.<\/li>\n<li>Thank you Nina, I&#8217;m so glad we have similar values it is great luck for us and makes it more enjoyable to have you hear.<\/li>\n<li>Thank you Raychell Raychel Raychel, your music is so great and I see the jumps going a little bit higher. You dersever to be confident, gurl<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Retirement, Brian did it. Money is a strange thing and I miss that when I worked high-tech, 20+ years ago, I had a nice salary. I felt powerful. I feel how my self-worth is tied to money or has been tied to the comparison between my ability to earn money and Brians. It is really strange that I feel stronger, I feel more equal and he only fully retired last week. Seeing oneself change and having realizations; it is happening now. I can&#8217;t wait to have my riding partner back.<\/p>\n<p>Brand, branding and brand recognition is like luck, opportunity and effort. I appreciate so much how luck brought me here to our home and property, I found an opportunity and together, Brian and I have put much effort into the present time. Luck happens, opportunity is seen or found, and effort is when something is worth working toward.<\/p>\n<p>#rolex2015 #hit-air-equestrianvest.com#hit-airvest#christineamber#equestriantraining#equestriantraining.com#<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rolex from a vendor&#8217;s point of view, as I am a vendor when I go there, it means I barely see a horse because I am in a booth educating people and selling hit-air vests.
