There aren’t many guarantees in life, but love a dog and they’ll love you with a loyalty that’s hard to put into words.
The miles go by a little easier, the quiet moments mean a little more, and even the tough days seem lighter when they’re right there beside you.
Some of my favorite mornings are spent exactly like this—just me and Easton, putting in the miles together. 🐾

Another day on the trails with Laura and the horses. She was riding Apache and I got to get back up on the big boy, Goliath.
I’ve learned that some of life’s best moments don’t need to be complicated. A good horse beneath you and miles of trail stretching ahead are more than enough.
The world seems to slow down in the saddle, and for a few hours, nothing else really matters.
Any time spent in the saddle is time well spent.🐴❤️

Congratulations to my friends and the team at @eberlestock on the success of their first Community Ruck in Boise yesterday.
I wasn’t able to be there, but I still wanted to support the effort. So this morning, I threw on a 40-pound pack and knocked out 5 miles with the only rucking partner I could find at 5:30 AM—Easton.
No complaints, no excuses, and he’s always happy to go wherever the trail leads.
Congrats again to everyone who came out and made the event such a success. Hopefully I’ll be able to join you in person next time.

A quick stage from this weekend’s local PRS match. I used it as a tune-up for my next NRL Hunter match in a couple of weeks.
These local matches are a great opportunity to test new gear, experiment with different positions, and sharpen the fundamentals under the pressure of a timer. When you’re used to a 4-minute clock in NRL Hunter, 90 seconds in PRS goes by in a hurry. It forces you to be extremely efficient with your setup, transitions, and movement.
No matter how a stage goes, I always walk away with a few lessons learned that I can carry into the next match.
That’s one of the things I enjoy most about this sport—there’s always something new to learn and another skill to improve.

Hump day so I took it to the streets early this morning with the pack to log the miles. Finished with air squats, push ups, straight leg sit ups and jump rope. ...

Last weekend in Idaho, I had the chance to spend time in the mountains with some great friends who have become like family.
The older I get, the more I understand that real wealth isn’t found in possessions. It’s found in the people who walk beside us, the experiences we share, and the memories that stay with us long after the trip is over.
Grateful for every mile, every conversation, and every friendship.
Thank you @matty__nelson , @stacyann802, @lifesapitch42 & @michael_berger21
